SHANGHAI (Reuters) - McLaren's Lewis Hamilton will become Formula One's first rookie champion, as well as the youngest, if he wins in China on Sunday.

Nigel Mansell believes McLaren should have kept the spat between Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso 'in-house'.

This weekend, there have been many talks about the incident during the qualifying session of the Hungarian Grand Prix. It appears that McLaren has big intern problems, but of course the team is also mingled in the ongoing espionage scandal. Ron Dennis declared that he wants to meet Jean Todt face to face to talk about the subject and find a solution, but the Ferrari principal is rather suspicious.

Fernando Alonso's long-term future at McLaren has been thrown into question after speculation grew in Hungary that he may look to leave the team at end of the season.

During the FIA post-race press conference, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen and Nick Heidfeld answered the questions of the gathered press. Of course, most of the questions were about the qualifying incident at McLaren and the tensions between Alonso and Hamilton.
