I missed it! What did McLaren steal from Ferrari?

The new articles don't say shit except for some white powder on the gas tank and some 80 page documents that were giving to McLaren from a Ferrari mechanic.

Maranello, June 22 - Ferrari has filed a
criminal suit against long-time technical staffer Nigel
Stepney for possible attempted sabotage before the recent
Monaco Grand Prix.
Judicial sources said the case is linked to the
discovery of a powder, whose exact nature has yet to be
established, on the fuel tanks of drivers Felipe Massa and
Kimmi Raikkonen six days before the race.
Ferrari have declined to comment on the details of the
case, saying only that the British technician is still an
employee but disciplinary proceedings have been brought
against him.
Stepney, 48, has reportedly been unhappy at Ferrari
since the departure of his immediate boss, tactical supremo
Ross Brawn, last year.
He was moved out of the race squad and made head of team
performance development - a move he considered a demotion to
a backroom job and led to an interview in the British press
criticising the team.

he is now on team mclaren

in July when a 780-page technical dossier on Ferrari cars was found at the home of McLaren's chief designer, Mike Coughlan, who was later suspended. Ferrari mechanic Nigel Stepney, who allegedly supplied the documents, was fired.

Yeah... what's more messed up is that right now... they are speculating...that FERNANDO ALONSO was the one who actually told the FIA about it...so that they would investigate...and he was trying to BLACKMAIL... McLaren... to make sure he was the #1 driver... and since it didn't happen he went ahead and made it public...

he also suposibly had demanded that Hamilton would be replaced...

THAT's what I got...from SPEED's Coverage of Friday Practice today at 8 AM

**ntimid8r** · 09-14-2007, 08:19 AM

I think the bottom is gonna fall out from F1 over all this scandal.

**Rikki_SeVeN** · 09-14-2007, 08:22 AM

Also forgot to mention that they can Appeal.. and get it reduced to about $50million in Fines...

they'll end up next year right behind Spyker... in the Pits... and will have to run with only their own money...virtually no economical help from Sponsors and such, since the POINT's equate to Extra money
