Rookie Hamilton since now has remained fairly tight lipped on the subject batting off questions about the possible penalties facing the Mclaren, saying he has full confidence in the FIA's decision. But in a pre-race interview conducted by ITV anchorman Steve Rider on the build up to Sundays race he acknowledged the ultimate power of the FIA's decision.

British rookie sensation Lewis Hamilton has admitted that the Italian Grand Prix at Monza in which he finished second behind team mate Fernando Alonso could be his last race for a short while.

With the Mclaren team gearing up for the Spying scandal hearing in Paris on Thursday, there is a real chance that Mclaren should new evidence that has come to light be strong enough and have enough substance to it, that Mclaren could be staring down the barrel at race bans, points deduction- which could include the loss of the 2007 World Championship or even bans from both th 2007 Championship and 2008 season altogether.

"When you really think about that, you think 'wow, I could be out of a job next weekend and then what happens?'” he said.

Should no major penalty be imposed on Mclaren on Thursday, Hamilton remains in a box seat position to claim the World Championship in his first season,a feat never before achieved, however he will face stiff competition from team mate Fernando Alonso who closed the gap to three points on Sunday.

However it is not the on track battle that bothers Hamilton, it is the politics and the court room drama that Hamilton admittedly hates about Formula 1 as he feels the knifes are out for both his team and his childhood mentor and Team boss Ron Dennis who Hamilton believes is in the dock for no reason.

"I never actually thought I'd be sitting here saying I hate something about Formula One, but the politics and people wanting to be bigger than others is just incredible,"

"F1 would not be the same without Mclaren, so let's just keep our fingers crossed that nothing else is going to happen."
