LONDON - Formula One's governing body will question Renault on Thursday in a hearing that could determine whether double world champion Fernando Alonso returns to his former team.
On Friday, the Spaniard's erstwhile McLaren team mate Lewis Hamilton will discover whether his 2008 title bid is to be handicapped months before the season starts in Australia next March.
Both Renault and McLaren will be in the spotlight when the International Automobile Federation (FIA)'s World Motor Sport Council meets in Monaco.
The French team face charges of unauthorised possession of confidential McLaren information while their Mercedes-powered rivals are still under scrutiny for an earlier spying controversy involving Ferrari data.
Renault, who are accused of having McLaren data from September 2006 to October of this year, say their cars were untainted by information brought to them by former McLaren employee Phil Mackereth, who has since been suspended.
However McLaren, who were fined $100 million and stripped of all their constructors's points in the earlier saga, believe their rivals -- champions in 2005 and 2006 with Alonso -- gained an unfair advantage.
A note leaked to reporters last month revealed that the information concerned 780 individual drawings "outlining the entire technical blueprint of the 2006 and 2007 McLaren cars".
It also alleged that up to 18 Renault employees, including seven engineering bosses and heads of department, had discussed the information.
