Back to the topic, your forgetting one very simple fact mate, when McLaren got hold of the information they USED it. What they should have done was have complete transparency and go straight to the FIA/Public and hand the information back, without making copies.
.
McLaren got hold youre suggesting Coughlan wasnt on his own! in that case wouldnt Ferrari be filing a law suit against McLaren and not Nigel Stepney and Mike Coughlan?
USED it? the first hearing they had no evidenct they used the 780 page dossier which Coughlan had in his possession
2nd hearing the one where the 2007 season was made null and void you know that one?! the evidence that they "used" was not the 780 page dossier at all you might want to read the transcripts, i can print out a hard copy i can mail to you if you cant be bothered reading from the link?

Any regard there was no evidence of use of Ferrari information on the McLaren car. SImple but aside to that youre a fool if you think this is the first of its kind in the long history of F1
A FOOL! You dont think Ferrari has been at the other end of the stick at all? recent memory why not look to when they pouched benettons design team and wonder what they took with them!
But anywaywe are talking engineers! bunch of geeks if you ask me!!
Is that like California?
Same Mediteranean climate as LA
Hey demure wish i knew of this town you talk of when i was in high school, might have saved myself come money!
