Nigel Stepney has been forced to flee Italy in the wake of the Stepneygate scandal that has rocked the F1 fraternity.
Stepney is at the heart of the saga, after being sacked by Ferrari for allegedly passing on the team's secrets to McLaren's chief designer Mike Coughlan.
In the latest installment in the crisis, Stepney, who has pleaded his innocence from the very start, has revealed he's had to leave Italy, fearing for his safety as well as that of his girlfriend Ash and their one-year-old daughter.
According to the Englishman, not only have men in cars chased him but tracking devices have also been placed on his car while unknown parties have "stalked" Ash.
"There have been high-speed car chases," he told The Observer. "We've been followed by more than one car, with Italian plates, and when we cornered one of them last Thursday evening the men in it refused to speak. I don't believe they were journalists.
"Ash has been stalked at the house. There was tracking gear on my car. Someone was going to get hurt. I had no option but to get out of Italy."
Insomma, secondo questo articolo che ho trovato su interenet Stepney sarebbe stato costretto a lasciare l'Italia perchè seguito in macchina da altre auto con targa italiana e per questo temendo ripercussioni fisiche per lui e la sua famiglia ha lasciato il nostro paese. Premetto che se lo avessi incontrato di persona non l'avrei manco riconosciuto però mi sembra una gren bella scusa. Io direi piuttosto che se ne andato per la vergogna.
