Rivals wheel out the big guns in Paris

Ferrari and McLaren have wheeled out the big guns for this morning's World Motor Sport Council hearing in Paris, with Ferrari reinforced by former technical director Ross Brawn

The hearing has begun at 9:30 am local time, amid a large scrum of photographers.

FIA technical delegate Charlie Whiting and president Max Mosley came through refusing to comment.

F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone followed through, the Briton stating: "I am sure we will see justice here today."

Brawn has appeared amidst his sabbatical, along with Ferrari team chief Jean Todt. Neither made a comment.

From McLaren's side a large entourage arrived at the FIA offices together, including Lewis Hamilton, Pedro de la Rosa, Mercedes motorsport director Norbert Haug, McLaren co-owner Mansour Ojjeh, managing director Jonathan Neale and McLaren CEO Ron Dennis.

"We are together," Hamilton commented on arrival. "We are a team. I feel relaxed and confident about today."

Dennis himself stated: "I am happy that we have done all our preparatory work, and I am confident the truth will come out."

Reigning world champion Fernando Alonso was not present.
