Spy probe takes toll on Lewis

Mclaren boss Ron Dennis fears the spy scandal may have taken itstoll on Lewis Hamilton.

Hamilton was distinctly off the boil throughout the Belgian GrandPrix weekend.

The young Briton's cause was not aided by his visit to Paris lastThursday for the World Motor Sport Council hearing that resulted indamning sanctions against the team.

Dennis said: " Obviously, Lewis has watched the company struggle alittle bit, the team struggle and maybe is a little bit moreinfluenced by that.

"Lewis tried hard but it was not meant to be."
