Carta de la FIA a los pilotos de McLaren
Fórmula1.com ha hecho publica la carta que la FIA ha mandado a los pilotos de la escudería anglo-alemana. Al parecer, según se puede leer en la carta, la FIA insta a los pilotos a revelar si han tenido o tuvieron, cartas, informes, dibujos, esquemas o cualquier tipo de información en cualquier soporte. Se les recomienda encarecidamente dar dichos datos, en caso de hacerlo no perderían la “Super-Licencia”, en caso contrario se podrían adoptar medidas ejemplares de castigo.
Personalmente, si esto es cierto, me parece horrible a lo que se esta llegando en McLaren y ya entre los pilotos. Espero que tan sólo sean rumores y todo quede en una falsa alarma y la investigación se zanje, por el bien del equipo y del deporte en general. Esperemos también que la investigación se lleve a cabo de manera exhaustiva y se llegue hasta el final y en el caso de ser necesario hacer pagar responsabilidades a pilotos, directores y escuderías.
La carta (en inglés e integra) la pueden leer aquí:
31 August 2007
Dear Mr De La Rosa
As you will be aware, the FIA has recently investigated whether, how and to what extent McLaren was in possession of confidential Ferrari technical information. The FIA has subsequently been made aware of an allegation that one or more McLaren drivers may be in possession, or that such drivers have recently been in possession, of written evidence relevant to this investigation.
In the interests of the sport and the Championship it is important that the FIA as the regulator establishes unequivocally and rapidly whether or not this allegation has any basis in fact.
The FIA therefore formally requests that you produce copies of any relevant documents which may be in your possession or power of procurement and which may be relevant to this case. For these purposes “documents” includes all written materials such as emails, letters, electronic communications, text messages, notes, memoranda, drawings, diagrams, data,. or other material, stored in any physical, “hard copy” or electronic form. In particular (though without limiting the generality of this request), the FIA wishes to receive copies of any electronic communications (howsoever conveyed or stored) which may be relevant to this case and which make reference to Ferrari, Nigel Stepney or any technical or other information coming from or connected with either Ferrari or Mr Stepney. In the event that you are aware of the existence or previous existence of any document falling within the above description but are not in a position to produce it, please describe the content of the document in question, the circumstances under which it came to your knowledge and the reasons why you are unable to produce it. In the event that you are unsure as to whether any document falls within the above description, kindly submit it (or a description of it) and the FIA will assist in making a determination.
You will appreciate that there is a duty on all competitors and Super Licence holders to ensure the fairness and legitimacy of the Formula One World Championship. It is therefore imperative that if you do have any such information, you make it available to us without delay. I can confirm, given the importance of this issue, that any information you may make available in response to this letter will not result in any proceedings against you under the International Sporting Code or the Formula One regulations. However, in the event that it later comes to light that you have withheld any potentially relevant information, serious consequences could follow.
We are sending identical letters to Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton. We look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. Thank you very much for your co-operation.
Yours sincerely
Max Mosley
Esperamos que se sepa la verdad.
