The photo lab guy that alerted Ferrari to spygate has been invited to italy as a reward by Luca.
Pity he did not go to Ron first to give him a chance to sort it, What would you have done?

Emmmm decisions decisions, choice of Maranello or a visit to the den of the biggest scandal to hit F1? hmmmmm now thats a really difficult one for a Ferrari fan thats been on Maranello pilgrimage 4 times, Monza 5 times.

Pity Ron didnt go to the FIA first, come clean way back in April and try to sort it out then.

he did the right thing, the people in charge of McLaren tried to do the right thing... The FIA did the wrong thing.

I just get the feeling that if someone had walked into a italian lab with a load of Mclaren info they would not be on the phone to Ron, More like " we run you extra copies of free",as they are very loyal to their own teams in any sport.
But you can call me a old cynic.

Deserves a 360 when he arrives in Maranello. For sure he did the right thing.

What, an out of dat e car for pipeing up about (by F1 standards) and out of date set of designs? hehe

Seriously, he did the right thing. Perhaps not what i would have liked to have happened if i was writing the story, but the right thing never the less. No different from a gallery notifying the owner of a stolen painting that someone has just brought it in for framing.

This honesty seems to have been lost on Luca as his comment about Lewis sweeping the Autosport awards was "The english never miss a chance to demonstrate their lack of sportsmanship".

You're not a Formula 1 driver. Stop using the expression 'For sure' immediately.

Where are you guys coming from!

HE DID THE WRONG THING!

He did the job.

Took the money.

Then shat on his client.

I have spoken to copy shop owners on this and there is a specific protocol: If anything appears to breach copyright - you refuse the job.

An these people will know that, they are a big company.

I wasn't aware that he actually did the job, but he was still right to go to Ferrari. Maybe they'll arrest him when he lands in Italy for copyright violation hehe

We know he did the job 'coz Coughlan had the CD's

We know he took the money 'coz they identified Coughlans wife from the cheque she gave them.

BTW, it's not a copyshop it's a big print factory in Cranleigh, not far from where the Coughlans live and interestingly not far from John Barnards old Ferrari development firm "GTO".

PS I still think this is the biggest red herring of the whole scenario and cant understand why it hasn't been invetigated further.

That was my initial thought. Expect an Italian Job style stand off on a mountain pass with slightly balding men in silver Santander jackets.

Sorry, I just can't leave it unfinished. I'm like Roger the Rabbit with 'A Shave and a Haricut' or Cartman with 'Sail Away'.
