Modena district attorney won’t meet Hamilton for now
Contrary to yesterday reports, Lewis Hamilton will not be called up by Italian prosecutors in the near future. The Italian sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport had suggested that, following Fernando Alonso’s two hour interview in Modena this week, his McLaren teammates may also be asked to contribute to the criminal investigation as witnesses.
The German newspaper Bild, however, cites a McLaren spokesman as clarifying that Hamilton will not be involved in the espionage case in Italy. McLaren test driver Pedro de la Rosa, however, is likely to be called as a witness by Modena magistrate Giuseppe Tibis, but only after the conclusion of the 2007 season next weekend in Brazil, Bild reported.
