McLaren chief savours victory in Ferrari's back yard

McLaren team chief executive Martin Whitmarsh savoured a dominant one-two victory for his team at the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday. It came amid plenty of off-track politics and speculation that has risked distracting the Mercedes-powered outfit from matters on the track.

"Coming to Italy and a one-two is fantastic," Whitmarsh said. "After a busy weekend, there's extra joy for everyone in the team."

He went on to praise both Alonso and Hamilton, "Both drivers have done a great job and Fernando's been fantastic all weekend looking like he was going to win all the time. Lewis has been determined to score the points too and hustled his way past Kimi. I don't think any of us expected that, least of all Kimi."
