Nigel Roebuck: Fifth Column
"Now seems a good moment for everyone to move on"
The endless stream of self-righteous pronouncements from Maranello is getting a little tiresome, as far as I'm concerned. We all know what happened this year - the passing of confidential Ferrari documents from Nigel Stepney to Mike Coughlan, and so on - but McLaren have been very severely punished, and now would seem a very good moment for everyone to move on.
Unfortunately, this looks unlikely, if recent news stories from Italy are anything to go by. In Mugello last weekend, Jean Todt was still full of self-pity. "We suffered," he said, "and there were many unhappy moments." No distinction in that, as Ron Dennis can tell you.
