From the Pulpit

A lot of questions surrounding the spy saga are going to be answered in Paris on Thursday. Amid all the intrigue, Matt Bishop looks back to a poignant car ride in Brazil...

On Thursday morning this week, the FIA World Motor Sport Council will be assembling in the Salle du Comite, the large meeting room within the FIA's plush headquarters at 8 Place de la Concorde, in the heart of Paris's swanky 8th arrondissement.

As I need not remind you, the WMSC is meeting in order to decide the fate of McLaren in respect of a spying scandal that has become known as 'Stepney-gate' - a bitter homage to Nigel Stepney, Ferrari's recently-sacked technical manager, who allegedly passed 780 pages of confidential Ferrari technical information to McLaren's recently-suspended chief designer, Mike Coughlan, earlier this year.
