Season 2008 - Ferrari tighten security
Posted: 07 Jan 08 5:57 PM (N/A)

From eurosport.com

 

Ferrari have tightened their security measures ahead of the new Formula One season in a bid to avoid a repeat of the spy scandal that cast a shadow over the sport in 2007.

FORMULA 1 2008 Season 2008 Ferrari launch Mario Almondo Felipe Massa Kimi Raikkonen Paolo Martinelli Stefano Domenicali Gilles Simon - 0 

Speaking at the launch of the team's all-new F2008 machine in Maranello, the team's directors of operations Mario Almondo said that they were taking things so seriously that photographers were not even allowed at the unveiling.

"The IT safety level in the company has been increased a lot in recent times. Everyone visiting Ferrari has to sign a confidentiality agreement," he said.

"This is not my personal feeling. Audits have taken place to make sure that this is the truth, we have periodical programs and meetings to check the level of our IT security.

"Obviously security can't be achieved without discipline and organisation. So all this is linked with the organisation and the behaviour of the people.

"Who works for us must subscribe to certain kinds of regulations from the ethical point of view and with regards to the use of the information systems.

"We are working very hard on this aspect as some of the employees have a superficial approach. This is a never-ending job."

Spygate erupted last June when Ferrari's technical manager Nigel Stepney was accused of leaking confidential information to McLaren chief designer Mike Coughlan.

Stepney was sacked and Coughland suspended before McLaren were fined £50.2 million and thrown out of the constructors' world championship for knowingly possessing the information.

Ferrari had been caught out before as well. Two former employees were jailed after they were found guilty of taking technical information to Toyota when they moved squads in 2004.

Well, who would have guessed this ?

How are they going to win the 2008 championship if they cannot blame anybody for spying this time ? Or maybe they will accuse somebody for spying IN SPITE of their increased security ?

DUH !


I have NOT lost my mind — I have it backed up on tape somewhere.
