Stepneygate emails - how it all happened

wow...thsi is really serious. i can't believe they're still allowed to race in Brazil.

 

Sure does seem so!!!

During all this drama and mystery, I have not seen or heard Michael Schumacher's, thoughts and discussion, of the whole deal. I would be interested in his opinion of the WDC situation, in it's entire saga. Has there been anything written or an interview of it?

Ciao...Paolo

 

Stepney has stated that the exchange between him and Coughlan went both ways. He's specificaly stated that he gave McLaren info to Ferrari (he was working both sides). He's said he gave Ferrari McLaren pitstop stragegy and McLaren weight distribution. He also states he got other aspects of the McLaren from him. Apparently the exchange was a "I'll show you mine if you show me yours."

I don't think this is over yet...

 

...who´s gonna believe stephney...not even Coughlan has agreed to that...I dont buy it....not coming from this two morrons.

 

There is no doubt

 

Your are 100% correct, both these Jerks should never work in F1 Again. If I was Ferrari I would sue the **** out of both these criminals.

 

Agree on that as well.

This season will be spoiled forever, only chance to save it will be Kimi winning the WDC on sunday. I'm especially troubled with next season. I doubt the scrutineering of the 2008 McLaren scheduled in February will have much effect, chances are that MCL will benefit from their cheating next year, too...

 

Please florian don't start on next year I have had a belly full of this sh@t for an eternity..

It happens all the time Those dickheads got caught now it's resurfaced again Oh well whatta yer know..

KIMI has already WON..

 

Few people would have the integrity to pull the team from competition, and if RD was one of them, Mercedes Benz would not allow it.

 

That photo is an utter disgrace. KR is no Steve McQueen.

 

, I hate dirty cheaters, there is no excuse for why they are still competing in the World Championship this year.

 

Anyone have a subscription to Business F1 and get a copy of the article?

 

I think this is the reason why a lot of people really dislike Hamilton. When he and the Mclaren team do interviews they act like they have done nothing wrong, and they still deserve to be in the championship.

Kimi Raikkonen 2007 WDC

 

+1, everyone knows Ferrari won the title this year and that McLaren are dirty cheaters. Bernie is just keeping Hammy in the championship to give Britain another World Champion and to line his pockets with even more money.

 

Andreas, after reading more of your posts, I am deeply disturbed by this, as I have always felt that Ron Dennis was above having a team do something like this. The fact that the drivers are still racing shows that F1 is now only about entertainment and the sport is gone.

KIMI THE REAL 2007 WDC
MASSA THE REAL 2007 VICE WDC.

 

Yes me too, especially Stepney and Coughlan, I hope these two A-Holes are locked up. Great Avatar by the way, here is rooting for the Boys in Red tomorrow.

 

This is all very interesting but I am curious who BusinessF1 would know all of this?

From what I understand, the guy behind it was generally disliked (if not hated) in the paddock by most of the folks, and seemed to be often involved with and accused of downright making stuff up.

I can sort of buy the argument that he was disliked because he told the truth, but I would question whether all this damning evidence was truly suppressed by the FIA just to keep the WDC alive? Seems a bit far fetched. And all his managers lying to RD? Again seems a bit far fetched.

If its true, then certainly the cars should have been banned. But I really wonder whether it can be true to the extend presented in the magazine? It would seem that that much of a scandal could not have been kept under wraps. Surely other magazines and news sources would have gotten the same scoop?

 

With all due respect to everyone ,everything in the Business F1 report was in the FIA transcripts that were published a couple of days after the hearings. The Ferrari lawyer drilled the Mclaren witnesses endlessly on that point .
Some people here even ridiculed Luca de Montezemelo when he said that if Hamilton wins the championship, he will also win it thanks to Ferrari because there is a lot of Ferrari in his car, but in reality the guy was spot on.

Ferrari and Kimi are the real champions this year no matter what happens on the track Sunday.

 

i just hope the whole world knows about this. i got folks here, who don't seem to know shiit about F1, yet they keep accusing me of being sour grapes, and keep on saying to me that Mac won it clear and fair.

the best part was, they never even knew about this whole spygate thing when it all started. they just got to know about it when it was published in the papers that Mac were fined and all.
