Stepney believes that Ferrari, who inherited the constructors' title following McLaren's disqualification, should be penalised themselves, even though he admitted that he cannot back up his claims.
If you can't back it up, you aint got ****..

Don't have a Mercedes right now...
To me common sense says that Ferrari would have never fired or accused him of sabotage if they were getting useful information from him!!!
It’s possible that while providing all that info to Couhlan, he might have asked him about certain info on McLaren but clearly his attitude wasn't to help his then team otherwise, he would have specified individuals to whom he was giving that info and also would have pointed to hard evidence that proves that. Also, Couhlan would have said something similar if it was true.
I believe that he is desperate to find something against Ferrari knowing that he has absolutely nothing in his defense anymore.

it dosent make sence. Just look at which team improved from the 06 season to the 07 season most. Mclaren did not win once last year and all of a sudden they are making better use of the bridgestones. I think Nigel Stepeny should be more concerned about jail now ,than about which teams are cheating.

Mclaren was testing bidgestones at the middle of the season when kimi and JPM was still on the team. sure than not long enough but there are more things that make this car. like engine design, transmission, braking system, ect. it all come to play
mclaren didnt win 1 race because all there tecnology was based on the V10 motor. they redesigned the whole car this year!
no matter what they still got penalized.

A "convicted" miscreant like Stepney, according to the FIA, especially when he admits he cannot substantiate his claims, has zero credibility. Sorry!!
That said, everyone copies ("cheats") from everyone else, that's just taken for granted. The question, is such "cheating" based upon public or highly confidential data that is for internal use only????
