Ferrari Statement
Ferrari wishes to clarify that the English police have so
far not been involved in investigating the theft of technical
information. It was brought to Ferrari's attention by a third
party outside Formula 1 racing within the last fortnight,
that a senior member of the technical staff within the Vodafone
McLaren Mercedes team might be in possession of highly sensitive
Ferrari information. Ferrari reviewed the evidence and consulted
London lawyers towards the end of last week. Ferrari then
made an urgent application to the High Court in London on
2 July for the court's assistance. As is usual with this kind
of court order, Ferrari is currently prevented by the court
from making any public statement about the information that
it gained as a result of serving the court order. At the same
time, an investigation is being carried out into the same
subject by the Modena Court, therefore no further comment
will be forthcoming, in order to respect the legal process
in both countries.
