Motorsport chief Max Mosley believes Lewis Hamilton’s effect on the popularity of Formula One has been exaggerated.

Mosley, president of the FIA, also fears continued success for the Englishman might be ‘negative’ for F1.

And Mosley claimed it would be ’surprising’ if Hamilton had known nothing of McLaren’s possession of the Ferrari dossier which saw his team fined and disqualified from the constructors’ championship - although he stressed he had no evidence either way.
