    Below is a link to a Wired magazine article that I believe has just been published. Partial quote:

    > By 2006 Stepney, who had earnings estimated to be upwards of $1 million a year, held enormous clout, deciding which mechanics went on the road — earning them a bump in salary
    > — and which stayed home. He was one of the many intensely competitive, highly strung men who mark their lives by the F1 season, so dedicated to the team that he didn't complain
    > when, at one race, Michael Schumacher roared out of the pit and slammed into him, breaking his ankle. Stepney bled red.

    Enjoy!

    And,

    while it strings events together nicely, if you've followed the story from the beginning, it says nothing new.... Sorry ...

    [Apart from where Stepney's now working :)]

    Cheers,
    Ian

    I apologize most sincerely.

    I guess I missed it the first time round.

    Sorry.
