I read with interest that the McLaren drivers may be docked points for the Ferrari spying affair. The solution is simple. Just change the name of the team to West Ham United and they will only end up with a large fine. Alek Ninkovic, Huddersfield

So Venus Williams believes she is justified in earning the same prize-money at Wimbledon as Roger Federer. If she were a barrister, working 20 hours per week, would she expect the same income as a male barrister, with identical qualifications, working 40 hours per week? Roger Shelley, Algarve, Portugal

Where Roger Federer played 52 games to win his final match, Venus Williams played 17 to win hers. They both received £700,000 and a grave injustice was said to have been righted. Or was one perpetrated? Kenneth Wood, Exeter

I refused to watch the match between Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova, as well as the final, because of the screams of the Williams sisters and Sharapova. It is intimidatory. J Whittaker, Nelson

In the rugby league match between St Helens and Leeds Rhinos, the only stoppages in the second half were four scrums and three tries. At one stage the ball was continuously in play for 12 minutes. Does this confirm that rugby league is the most intense and hardest British sport, played by the fittest players? George Walker, Sheffield

B Teasdale (letters, last week) said he was sick of batsmen touching gloves in the middle. It is even worse in tennis, as doubles partners touch one another after every point played. Gerald Slade, Tring

I attended the Twenty20 match between Surrey and Kent at The Oval. Our seats were in the Vauxhall End and in the second half a large part of the crowd were so drunk they were not watching the game but applauding each other collecting beer glasses and seeing how high they could pile them. It was a hellish experience. I hope the ECB bans alcohol or requests no drinking during play. Mark Harrington, Surbiton, Surrey

I read with interest Simon Wilde’s article on Chris Schofield (last week). I have to correct him on one point. In season 2006, Chris was the contracted professional with Ormskirk in the ECB Liverpool competition, not Todmorden. Ray Baynes, Southport
