F1 » Ferrari reward spy case whistleblower

Whoever went into that copy shop wasn''t very bright...

Very, as lets face it, a company the size of McLaren would never have a copier in the offices he could use would they of :P

Just goes to show how unethical mclaren really are.

Mclaren are so morally weak that a photo copy shop empolyee had better ethical standards than Mclaren management!

I think by using an external photocopier outside of McLaren might show that McLaren themselves weren't involved or knew about the dossier at the start - either way the photocopier wasn't too bright.

Anyway, I thought this was case closed and that F1 was looking to the future? I guess Ferrari are still bitter about it but they just need to move on from the affair.

“English gentleman who in the month of JUNE wanted to inform us that someone linked to an opponent team entered into his shop and asked him to copy dozens of pages containing technical information about our car”.

Does make you wonder if Ron and his team did know about this at the outset, apart from the discredited former WDC and PDL?

I'm more inclined to think that it was to be jointly presented by Stepney and Coughlan to Honda in the hope of obtaining employment there - Honda didn't even admit they had had discussions until a few days after this all blew up.

Makes you think doesn't it?

What a couple of plonkers Stepney and Coughlan are, who in there right mind would let another party photocopy pages from a ferrari document, I think this alone shows those two as not being very bright. How did those two manage to earn well paid jobs when they are that thick.
I can't understand the whole situation surrounding McLaren its like Ferrari hatched a cunning plan and McLaren went along with it and even added to it by the own stupidity, by being to open in many ways added to their downfall. how the hell do they all manage to get cars to go that fast if they are all so dulally

It's the engineers who make the cars go fast, but it's the stupid management who make all the idiotic decisions.

Ferrari should have given the photocopy employee a car.

Espionage Rule #258: Do not use the full service option at Kinkos.

YAWN - I thought the 'Spy Row' was over?

If not, lets have some stories on Renault then being found guilty of having the 2006 McLaren car design in their possesion - in which Alonso won the WDC.

No action by the FIA
No opinion by Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo.

F1 is a corrupt organised crime featuring technology and boys in fast cars.....
It's not a sport. Used to be. No longer.

Thanks Mosely, Ferrari. Quote. ''The most important team in F1''.

You know the FIA make me sick. Imagine a tennis umpire, announcing any player was 'the most important'. The match would never take place - yet in F1, this is the norm.

F1 better change for the better, somehow.
