I have a better understanding now. <br><br>However, based on what I've read I still don't see the basis of Ferrari pushing for penalties against McLaren. Unless I missed something, these two knuckleheads, Coughlan and Stepney, were in collusion with each other and a few other individuals who have nothing to do with McLaren management. <br><br>No one from management looked at the documents nor were they aware that they existed until after Coughlan recieved them and told his boss he had them. <br><br>Can someone who knows what's what's enlighten me further?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John R]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 2nd 2007 12:36PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Stepneygate explained: A primer on the F1 espionage scandal]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/02/stepneygate-explained-a-primer-on-the-f1-espionage-scandal/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/02/stepneygate-explained-a-primer-on-the-f1-espionage-scandal/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think what's left to be decided is how to punish McLaren for using the information they received to challenge the design of Ferrari's floor in the first race of the season.  And it is clear that the information they received prompted them to challenge the manner in which the floors were deemed legal, which cost Ferrari the advantage their design would have given them...and obviously did give them in Race 1.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 2nd 2007 1:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Stepneygate explained: A primer on the F1 espionage scandal]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/02/stepneygate-explained-a-primer-on-the-f1-espionage-scandal/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/02/stepneygate-explained-a-primer-on-the-f1-espionage-scandal/</guid><description><![CDATA[In other articles I've read regarding this case it's been made abundantly clear that the documents were read by people in the upper management of Mclaren.  The assumption being made is that Mclaren would never have been able to challenge ferraris "moveable floor" components had they not seen the document that was stolen by Coughlan.  F1 seems to be going the way of the Tour De France these days, it's really quite sad, because so far this has been a very exciting season.  But if everything plays out like it currently is, the season won't really matter.   ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eamon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 14th 2007 6:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Stepneygate explained: A primer on the F1 espionage scandal]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/02/stepneygate-explained-a-primer-on-the-f1-espionage-scandal/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/02/stepneygate-explained-a-primer-on-the-f1-espionage-scandal/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ah, so McLaren did look at the documents that Coughlan recieved?
