Formula 1 spying thingy
We've heard a lot about this story. Well, I say 'we'. I've heard a lot about this, and so have other people who follow motorsport. Anyway, my point (I think) is that we (I) have heard a lot about this story, bouncing backwards and forwards, and yet no-one has seemed all that keen to ask how Coughlan actually got hold of the Ferrari dossier. Has he gone from engineer to master sneak theif? I'm guessing that's fairly unlikely, especially as he got his wife to take it to a photocopying shop for him. Have Ferrari suddenly become so lax in their security that a designer from a rival team (indeed their main rival) can just walk into their garage and nick the thing? Somehow I suspect that this, too, is highly unlikely. So, how did it come into Coughlan's possession? I don't actually have the answer to that, in case you were hoping for some sort of revelation. I think something rather odd is going on. Still, makes Formula 1 more exciting, doesn't it?
