Ferrari lawyer accuses McLaren of ‘shameless hypocrisy’

McLAREN were yesterday accused of being “shameless hypocrites” in their bid to see Lewis Hamilton crowned this year’s Formula One world champion.

In the run-up to the Court of Appeal hearing into the ‘cool fuel’ row, McLaren officials – including Hamilton – insisted they did not want to win the title in the courtroom.

But that was in stark contrast to the submissions of lawyer, Ian Mill QC, who called for a reclassification of the championship.
