Turns out that Ron Dennis was in fact the one who tipped off the FIA about the PDLR and Alonso emails. Absolutely insane. Now that doesn't rule out the possibility that Ron knew about the cheating but it goes a long way towards clearing his name.
Of course the alternate possibility is that Ron knew about the cheating and would've kept quiet but once faced with one of his drivers blackmailing him he decided that the risk of getting caught was too great and turned himself in.

If it really is true that Alonso blackmailed him I wouldn't be surprised to see him replaced before the end of the season or in 2008. Alonso could easily sit him on the bench for 08 and bring another driver in to replace him. But who could replace Alonso? Buttongate 3 maybe?
