Someone knew about these emails, which is why the drivers were offered a deal to hand them over. I can't say it hasn't crossed my mind that this might be a stitch-up of McLaren.

According to the BBC, Alonso threatened to hand them over...

Reports have suggested Alonso told Dennis he would show the e-mails to Max Mosley, president of the sport's governing body the FIA, if he did not give Alonso number one status at McLaren over Lewis Hamilton.
Dennis is said to have called his bluff, telling Alonso to go ahead. At which point, it is claimed, Dennis then phoned Mosley himself, effectively handing his team in to the FIA.
