From what ive been told and what ive read, Coughlan and Stepney were planning to take the data and other members and defect to honda wherein, they would create a F2007-esque car. It has backfired on all players except one....Honda. They were smart enough to cover themselves and once the proverbial hit the fan, they succinctly pleaded innocence and ignorance towards the whole deal..as well they would mind you..
I disagree with you. The ferrari is the technically superior car, notwithstanding the bridgestone tyres its shod with. Again, its not so much what McLaren has to gain but Honda...
This has happened many times before too..do you not remember 2 ferrari employees only just recently being sentenced to jail time for selling ferrari secrets to toyota/??
