Nigel Stepney risk ban from motorsport 

Within the next month, Nigel Stepney will meet FIA’s legal department to explain his version of facts about the espionage case involving secret Ferrari data handled to McLaren’s former Chief Designer Mike Coughlan. Reports are talking about the possibility of a “lengthy period” ban from international motorsport. “Mr. Stepney is very much looking forward to this opportunity to put his side of the story in a legal environment, rather than continue to endure ill-informed allegations against him”, Stepney’s lawyer Coyle White Devine said today. It was confirmed also that Formula One’s Governing Body cancelled last Thursday a scheduled meeting in London because of ‘flight problems’ in Geneva.
