Todt snubs Dennis face-off offer

Jean Todt has used Dennis' peace offering over the current espionage saga against him, saying that it should have come a long time ago. The McLaren team principal reportedly said after the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday that he had offered to meet with Ferrari face to face to resolve the spy case, which is currently stealing headlines and damaging the sport's reputation.

Dennis said: "We hope and would really like to find a solution between the teams as opposed to one that is the subject of a more damaging process for F1."

A suspicious Todt replied on Sky Italia: "I would have preferred if this proposal had been made months ago. Then it would have been beneficial and we could have prevented many damages to the image of Formula One and the serious effects for Ferrari."
