The mind boggles :crazy:Quote:
Former Ferrari mechanic Nigel Stepney says he never expected the information he gave to McLaren chief designer Mike Coughlan to be used by the team to gain an advantage.
And to think some people thought it was unacceptable for Jean Todt to say that Stepney 'lost his mind'?Quote:

I have to ask what did Stepney think the information would be used for ?
Could he be so foolish as to think that McLaren wouldn't use vital information ?
I postulated that Stepney was using the plans for credibility when asking Coughlan to join him in leaving for Honda in the beginning of this mess .
He was a fool to try this on , and a fool for thinking it wouldn't be used , but it might just be that this was the original plan .
When Honda's Fry didn't bite , they went to plan B , which involved current race strategy and mysterious white powder .

;) My thoughts too !!!
That's about the only likely scenario possible... without concluding they were simply Idiots.
Seems as though... Stepney & Coughan were plotting together... hoping to join Honda's opperation.
Good thing he wasn't giving nuclear secrets to Iran with the idea that they would never be used!!!
i am sure he could have got a job at any other team with out the technical dossier after bing part of that Dreamteam.
