F1 spy rows set to reach climax

Formula One will come under the spotlight again this week when the sport's governing body meets over this season's spying rows.

Renault will appear before the FIA on Thursday to answer a charge of unauthorised possession of confidential McLaren technical data.

The French team deny the information was used in their 2007 car.

McLaren, who have been found guilty on a similar charge, face further scrutiny on Friday on the Ferrari controversy.

McLaren were fined �47.5m and thrown out of the constructors' championship after being involved in an earlier spying controversy involving Ferrari data.

However after punishing the team in September, the FIA said they would investigate further to ensure that no Ferrari data appeared in next year's car.

The FIA is expected to reach a verdict on Renault's case on Thursday but a decision on McLaren's fate is unlikely to be made until next week.
