## Resource

The 2007 season was one of the most contentious in Formula 1 history, and the ‘Spygate’ scandal was its biggest story. In the latest of our new From the Archive series, experienced F1 journalist Maurice Hamilton – who witnessed the events in the paddock as they unfolded – and host Kevin Turner look back at the time when a Ferrari employee handed sensitive documents to McLaren’s chief designer, triggering a series of events that would also involve Fernando Alonso and result in the biggest fine in F1 history.
