Titolo: Delazione sul fondo ferrari: pare sia vero

A questo punto (segue l'articolo), se confermate le illazioni (perché per 
ora questo restano) di stampa (*) credo che difficilmente la McLaren se la 
caverà con meno che con l'espulsione dal campionato.

(*) sulla stampa si legge che in McLaren sapevano in molti e da molto tempo 
prima di quanto ammesso, i contatti delatori di Stepney andavano avanti da 
inizio stagione, c'erano dati tecnici ed empirici sullo sviluppo 
dell'avversario, dalle gomme, al telaio, al motore, all'aerodinamica. Oggi 
addirittura la notizia che sul computer di Coughlan sarebbe stata trovata 
un'e-mail che lo avertì sul come fare reclamo contro il fondo piatto della 
Ferrari, precedente al primo GP della stagione.

Mi correggo. No, questo non lo dice. Si capisce che o č contemporanea o 
immediatamente successiva.

*Stepney warned Coughlan of Ferrari floor*
/By Jonathan Noble and Steve Cooper/ /Thursday, July 19th 2007, 14:22 GMT/
Nigel Stepney emailed McLaren's chief designer Mike Coughlan on the eve of 
the season to tip him off about Ferrari's movable floor design, this week's 
Autosport magazine reveals.
McLaren will face an extraordinary meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport 
Council next week to face charges of 'fraudulent conduct' over the 
possession of secret Ferrari documents from March to July this year.
The matter was originally only thought to relate to a 780-page Ferrari 
technical dossier, which McLaren said Coughlan had in his possession only 
from the end of April.
However, a reliable source has revealed to this week's Autosport magazine 
that the March date the FIA has referred to relates to early contact between 
Stepney and Coughlan.
In particular, the source says it relates to a specific email that Stepney 
sent to Coughlan, revealing Ferrari's floor design and tipping the McLaren 
designer off about taking possible action about it.
Although it is not known if Coughlan passed on this information to the team, 
McLaren did ask for a rule clarification about Ferrari's movable floor 
design at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
That action resulted in the FIA changing its floor tests and outlawing the 
design Ferrari ran at the time - which is believed to have hindered their 
form.
The background to McLaren's actions in Melbourne will likely play a key part 
in the FIA World Motor Sport Council hearing next week, as the sport's 
governing body faces the task of working out whether or not the team did 
anything wrong.
Autosport also reveals that the Surrey copy shop that tipped off Ferrari 
about Coughlan having the 780-page dossier was asked to scan the information 
in order to transfer it into electronic format and in to a computer disc.
It is understood that after the information had been put on disk, the actual 
Ferrari document was shredded and burned in Coughlan's back garden.
Coughlan is understood to have been advised to destroy the document after 
showing a glimpse of it to McLaren managing director Jonathan Neale at a 
golf club. It is not known, however, when this incident took place.
