Stepney Defence – ‘Magic Dust’ Theory.

Embattled former Ferrari engineer, Nigel Stepney insists that white powder discovered near parts of the F2007 were in actual fact ‘magic dust’ that had cross-pollinated from the successful Brawn-Schumacher-era. An Italian court heard that Stepney was investigating the transfer of pollen grains circa 2000 to 2004 into the Italian squad’s recent campaign.

Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport, Stepney stated: “The study of pollination brings together many disciplines.. Some of them common to Formula One”, he said. “Where our communication broke down was at the receptive part of the carpel which is called stigma. And now I’ve been stigmatised! My Italian was never very good and look where it’s got me!”.

Stepney’s lawyer Sonia Bartolini was not available for comment.
