    In the heyday of the spy scandal, we were talking about McLaren only suspending Mike "Honey, quick stop at the copyshop!" Coughlan from his duties, but not firing him. Does anybody know about the outcome of that issue? Is he still employed by McLaren, and if yes, what does he do? Is he still involved in building cars or does he stand in a back room of the Paragon and write on a blackboard "I will never be too miserly for an own copier again"?

    Me too - I would have thought Ron would get rid of Coughlan and the other team members who conspired to use the illegal Ferrari data.

    I´ve been asking that to myself, and I havent find a single article on the matter after the "the FIA strongly sugests" they both come forward to explain their behavior...

    The last time I saw anything he was still employed with McLaren and still on full pay. He nearly got them the WDC, that must count for something.

    If he really was acting alone and the trouble maker that he is, he should be getting sued by McLaren for negligence, but after what Andreas wrote on the piece from Business F1, I can see why he is still under contract. The Dirty Bastard.

    Coughlan might be dirty, but the people he works for are right down in the mud with pigs. You cant get much filthier.

    I've been hearing rumors that one of the people implicated in the use of that data is leaving: (Alonso). ;)
