F1 Mechanic Say Ferrari Should Suffer Same Punishment As McLaren
The mechanic at the heart of Formula One's spy scandal said Ferrari also benefited from receiving secret information and should have been punished along with McLaren.

Nigel Stepney, who was fired as head of performance at Ferrari after the scandal broke in July, said he was able to supply the Italian team with details of McLaren's cars thanks to an exchange with its chief designer, Mike Coughlan.

"I got information about when they were stopping (during races)," Stepney was quoted as saying in The Sunday Times.

"I got weight distribution, I got other aspects of various parts of their car from him. Ferrari got off lightly."

If they were to punish all the teams who are in some way guilty of industrial espionage, ALL the teams should be punished, because everybody are guilty! Does anybody really think that when an engineer changes from one team to another he is going to keep his mouth shut about the stuff he has learned?

Sounds to me like someone wants retribution at all costs because they got fired. Why didn't this news come up at the time it occurred? is his coming out with the news influenced in any way by the amount of money at stake made evident by the fines to McLaren?

Can he even prove anything?
