Some members of this board even claim I have Ferrari/Schumacher addiction. True to a certain extent. However, I just think they deserve a little blame for one of its relatively high level employee going ballistic and allegedly giving secrets to a rival. Nige was very disgruntled with Ferrari and with the way he was treated. He didn't do it because has happy! Sure, what he allegedly did was wrong, but when someone goes rogue in a company, the company itself should take a cold hard look at its own practices.
I won't likely ever hate Ferrari, but I think it is a very political team. I am not saying they are not victims. I am saying that they are the victims, but they don't deserve to be cast as a completely blameless victim when a long-serving employee supposedly goes rogue.
Even if another team's engineer guy photcopied the data in front of the FIA, what will they do about it? I bet it'll be nothing. F1's ringmaster has already commented on it and distanced the team from the driver, which won't jeopardize Hamilton's lead. Mclaren doesn't have to distance themselves. They won't get punished. Ferrari is definitely getting the sh*t end because the data supposedly includes future designs.

Yeah, for an engineer to possess another team's data and not use/share/distribute it within his own team is hard to believe. Anyway, my point is that whatever involvement there was on the part of Mclaren, it will be irrelevant because I don't see how they will be punished. They certainly will not lose points or be disqualified.
