Aside from the fact that Hamilton used Alonso's set up for the first few races this year... opting to go his own way in Hungary...and Turkey and returning to Alonso's set up in Italy you are right.

Also setting aside the fact that a now key Ferrari employee left Ferrari in 2004 to work for McClaren and then returned to Ferrari in 2006; having spent two full seasons on the race team as a technical director....leaving 'unexpectedly' at the season's end, but in time to regain his job at Ferrari...certainly legal and accepted spying.

Interesting to see the seedy under belly of the 'sport' being dragged kicking into the light.
