I don't know about the legal statement, but the rest shows you clearly as a real lawyer ;) :D

a sorry mess: i guess i'll go back into retirement.

I knew it, I just knew it. I always wanted to be a criminal lawyer, and this confirms it.

That hourly computing basis makes lawyer usually a man of means :(

Wouldn't it be a hoot if the documents were pieced together and sent by one of the Ferrari "shred-bag" clean-up guys? You know, stuff he pulled out instead of shredding or burning it. Better still, the stuff was sent by Ferrari but all the measurements are just a little off and all the data is just a little "fudged"?

so the poison pixie is forecasting what the fia are going to do regarding this affair.......according to him the McLaren drivers wont get penalised even if the team are found to be complicit in this spy scandal!!!!!......whats it got to do with him????.....and now coldturd gets a bit more media attention for himself by publicly declaring ron and McLaren are innocent!!!!.....how does HE know??????.....what has he got?....a crystal ball to see into the future????!!!!!........if ever midget man and coldturd have an opinion about anything then 9 times out of 10 it is the kiss of death!!!!!!!!....mate****s has signed dc for another year :( ((.......oh well, its his dosh!!!!!

It is the delay in action that casts serious doubts on McLaren's statements of innocence and integrity. :(

totally agree with you there :) ..........if there is any delay betweeen the time these data discs were first shown amongst ANY McLaren employees to the time this fact was realised by a third party, then McLaren MUST know they dont have leg to stand on NOW!!!!!!!!!......it can only end in tears for poor Fernando and Lewis!!!!!............for Coughlan there is absolutely no excuse, and for Stepney we shall have to wait and see if it was him who has passed this information on to Coughlan!!!!.......but for sure there is only going to be a hardline approach from the fia(sco)..... :( ........look at the fuss over the "team orders" debacle from Monaco this year!!!!........that was a fart in a hurricane compared to this little tale of sabotage and espionage;.........and yet a part of me feels this could have all been instigated by Ferarri from the outset!!!!.........

They also have the problem about asking about rules clarifications for some things that seemed to be related to Ferrari design specs.

i`D LIKE EVERYONE TO READ YOUR POST AGAIN!!!!! :)

How about leaving your business card behind? I am telling you, if he does not get arrested for damaging private property he should be arrested for STUPIDITY. That's quiete the plan. I want to sabotage these two cars but I'll leave some traces around, so that they can figure this out???????????????????? I don't get it.
OR if that's what really happend, they should arrest the Ferrari mechanics for stupidity, for seing this stuff around and not figuring it out. :) :) :)

PS Nigel Stepney has been notified by the SWA (Saboteur World Association) that he has been stripped of his membership and advised him to return/trash his online earned degree and get one from a real college. :) :)

when the ferarri mechanics saw it they rolled up 500 lire notes and started sniffing away!!!!!!....he he he
