One of the key submissions to the World Motor Sport Council on Thursday came from Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen, we can reveal.
The Ferrari driver stated in writing that while he was at McLaren from 2002 until 2006 the team systematically listened to Ferrari’s radio transmissions, which are supposed to be scrambled.
This was put to Ron Dennis in Paris on Thursday, and reportedly a long silence followed before he came up with a reply.
Intriguingly, the Kimi evidence was not part of the report released by the FIA today, and thus has not reached the public domain until now.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooboy. That can’t be good. :lolham:
Ironically in July Mika Salo revealed to a Finnish newspaper that when at Ferrari in 1999 he regularly received transcripts of Mika Hakkinen’s radio conversations.
Unfortunately for Salo he was driving a Ferrari at the Spa 24 Hours the week that story emerged. A “correction” was soon sent from Maranello explaining what the Finn had meant to say was that in those primitive days sometimes teams accidentally overheard the conversations of rivals…
