World championship leading British rookie Lewis Hamilton warned Sunday that his dream of lifting the title in his debut season could be wrecked by the 'spy-gate' scandal that has rocked Formula One.
In an interview with Britain's ITV television, he said: "I never actually thought I'd be sitting here saying I hate something about Formula One, but the politics and people wanting to be bigger than others is just incredible.
"I would say to you that (team boss) Ron (Dennis) has always been very, very loyal to me, he has always given me the opportunity and he has always been such a great man to me. I have never had any reasons to not believe him.
The sport's ruling body, the International Motoring Federation (FIA) will hold a meeting of its world motor sport council in Paris on Thursday to hear new evidence in the saga that has followed allegations about leaked Ferrari technical information that found its way to rivals McLaren. If the hearing finds McLaren guilty of using the information to their advantage, something that was not proved at an earlier hearing in July, the Anglo-German team could be excluded from this year's championship.
