Guilty of being in conflict with rule 151c of the international motorsport rules. They were in possesion of another teams confidential data. Besides, if you knew much about the whole situation youd know that mclaren already fired one person because of this, and he is being prosecuted in england as a result.

Ferrari Fired Nigel Stephany, Last I heard Mclaren Suspended Mike Coughlan.
Stephany and Couglan took technical data from Ferrari and I am sure Mclaren also, and went calling on Honda looking for jobs. Honda turned tham away.
I don't see where Mclaren did anything wrong. One of their employees conspired with one of Ferrari's employees to steal secrets and go peddle it to a third party. Ferrari's and McLaren's employees both acted on their own behalf. Not on behalf of either team.
We can talk F1 until the cows come home. I go all the way back to Jimmy Clark. '63 '65 WDC.

Haha, well I love F1 too, even though im a bit younger then you.
Also, absolutely no data has even been speculated to be taken from mcLaren. And ive read from multiple places that the affadavit signed by coughlan says he alerted multiple peoepl in the mclaren organization, although they denied this as a team.
Further, mclaren should be responsible for their employees action. Just having ferrari data gives an advantage in terms of strategy and of design philosophy. To tell me that McLarens CHIEF designer had the complete ferarari car (discovered by the copy place that found his wife making a 780 page copy of the cars plans) and didnt somehow use it to macs advantage is complete BS.
