**Stepney, Coughlan approached Honda **

Honda Racing have become embroiled in the espionage scandal surrounding Nigel Stepney after admitting on Friday that they were approached by the former Ferrari engineer and McLaren's Mike Coughlan for jobs earlier this year.

Just minutes after McLaren boss Ron Dennis said that he had been informed of fresh developments in the affair by an unidentified 'third party', Honda issued a statement confirmed speculation that they too were involved in the spy scandal.

'Given the speculation surrounding the legal investigations at Ferrari and McLaren, the Honda Racing F1 Team would like to clarify that earlier this year Nigel Stepney, formerly of Scuderia Ferrari, requested a meeting with Nick Fry, Chief Executive Officer of the Honda Racing F1 Team,' said the team in a statement.

'Nigel Stepney subsequently met in June of this year with Nick Fry and brought with him Mike Coughlan of McLaren, with a view to investigating job opportunities within the Honda Racing F1 Team.

'Honda would like to stress that at no point during this meeting was any confidential information offered or received. Nick Fry informed Jean Todt and Ron Dennis of the meeting and has offered to provide any information required by Ferrari and McLaren.'

Speculation that more teams than McLaren and Ferrari were involved in the Stepney affair had been mounting over the day at Silverstone - with insiders suggesting that Honda would also be dragged into the matter.

Although team boss Nick Fry refused several times during the course of the day to comment on the situation, in the end the statement was published in a bid to quell the mounting rumours about the level of his and Honda's involvement in the case.

The confirmation of Honda's situation, and the nature of Fry's meeting with the two espionage suspects, makes it increasingly likely that the controversy is more about Stepney and Coughlan looking at future job prospects than out-and-out espionage.

Dennis reiterated his belief that McLaren would be cleared of any wrongdoing in the matter, after confirming that fresh clarity had been brought to his view of the situation by a conversation between himself, Todt and Fry earlier in the day.

'Three team principals discussed this situation this morning,' he said. 'Again it creates in some ways more clarity.

'I want to be very correct in this process. The first thing that I did when I first learnt of this problem was to phone Jean Todt. The second was to phone Max Mosley and from the beginning we have been cooperative.

'We immediately brought independent people into the company to analyse and go through a process. I feel that as much as the reputation of McLaren has been challenged and in some instances, all instances, unfairly challenged, the important thing is to set an example and to behave in a very correct way.

'I can give a full and detailed understanding to everybody about what has happened over the last few months, but it is just inappropriate. The way of the world is that all the truth comes out.

'Probably the thing that I have learned more than anything over the last few days is how fast people are prepared to jump into severe criticism of McLaren when it has had, certainly in the last 20 odd years, an impeccable reputation in every aspect of how it conducts its racing team and how it conducts its business affairs.'

And pre-empting Honda's confirmation about Coughlan and Stepney's approach, he said: 'Over the next 48 hours there will definitely be more information available to people and some of that will give a better insight into motives and what lies behind some people's actions. But it is not for me to criticise. We will let things unfold.

'This is all being conducted under civil law and therefore there are no police involved. But this does not mean there it does not follow a proper procedure. Too many people are quick to jump and criticise, and effectively condemn, but as in most things in life the truth will come out. I doubt there will be many apologies afterwards but the truth will come out.'

Ενδιαφέρουσα εξέλιξη.

Μήπως τελικά η όλη ιστορία είναι κατασκευασμένη;

-μολις ειδα εικονες (χθεσινες υποθετω)απο τη βιλλα του coughlan. μαντεψτε τι αμαξια ειχε μεσα μια κιτρινη Barchetta (FIATI),kokkino Civic VTi (HONDA) & ena asimi wagon MERCEDES -

ολως παραδοξος εδειξαν & το μαγαζι με τις φωτοτυπιες.μαλλον τελικα ειναι σχεδον σιγουρο οτι απο κει ξεκηνισαν ολα...

καλα δες τες πρωτα τις 'φωτοτυπιες'και μετα πες μας.
ξερετε ποιος εκανε ΝΤΟΥ στο σπιτι του Coughlan? πειτε μου γιατι εγω δε ξερω.και εφοσον ΔΕΝ ειναι η αγγλικη αστυνομια(αποτι εχω καταλαβει) πως θα αποδειχθει οτι βρεθηκαν εκει...
ο stepney ειπε οτι δε του εχει απαγγελθει κατηγορια ολα δηλαδη ειναι 'θεωρητικά' , οτι τον παρακολουθουσαν και το ηξερε και οτι .... 'οταν ηρθε ο Τομπαζης 'εφερε' το μπροστα μερος απο τη μακλαρεν (στο μυαλο του) '

το οτι απλα η φερραρι δε γουσταρε να τον αφησει να παει σε αλλη ομαδα μου φαινεται η πιο λογικη εξηγηση. ειναι το μονο που ειναι σιγουρο.
τα περι σαμποταζ , ανταλλαγες σχεδιων κλπ μενει να αποδειχθουν.

Σήμερα είχαμε το πρώτο δικαστηριάκι...

The hearing also confirmed that McLaren managing director Jonathan Neale was aware that Coughlan had the documents.
