The spy saga continues...
Everybody who expected the spy saga to be over and done, after the penalty for McLaren imposed by the WMSC and the decision of Ron Dennis not to appeal the verdict, is wrong. Nigel Stepney, former Ferrari employee, declared to 'grandprix.com' that the flow of information didn't only go from Ferrari to McLaren but also from McLaren to Ferrari and that he's surprised to see that the Scuderia didn't receive a penalty.
Three weeks after the World Motor Sport Council gave McLaren a fine of $100 million and took away all their points in the Constructors' Championship, former Ferrari employee and centre of the espionage case, Nigel Stepney, declared that he believes that the Scuderia got off lightly as the flow of information to Mike Coughlan was not one-way. Stepney said: "I got weight distribution, I got other aspects of various parts of their car from Coughlan. Ferrari got off very lightly. I was their employee at the time.
"The question is: Did I use the information, did I talk about it?' That's the big question. I spoke to some people about it. I can't prove it, there are no e-mails or anything. Points about the fuel and the differences, between Ferrari and McLaren, were discussed inside."
