It makes sense to do this, the verdict was a bit crap although I still hope they don't punish either team heavily. Ferrari and Mclaren are both guilty of breaking the same rule, through the actions of individuals, so any punishment Mclaren get Ferrari should also get.
Oh and another plot twist...
Stepney says not to blame for leaked data
Former Ferrari engineer Nigel Stepney continued to protest his innocence on Tuesday regarding the Formula One spying controversy.
Stepney was accused of passing Ferrari information to McLaren chief designer Mike Coughlan, who has since been suspended by the world championship leaders.
"I did not take any designs away from Ferrari. Someone passed on the designs but it wasn't me," Stepney told Italy's La Repubblica.
"I do not want to involve other colleagues. I know one part of the story, not all. Ferrari know the whole story."
The Italian action against Stepney, who was sacked by Ferrari, is set to progress after court officials in Ferrari's home town of Modena returned from holiday.
The action includes accusations of sabotage against Stepney.
Italian and British media have mentioned a mysterious white powder that was allegedly found in the petrol tanks of the Ferrari race cars six days before this year's Monaco Grand Prix.
Ferrari have not commented on the matter but Stepney said he had been set up.
"They put the powder in my trouser pocket while I was taking a shower," Stepney said without stating who he meant by "they".
"I am ready to to be heard (by the court) at any moment," added Stepney, who said he had already found another job far away from Italy and Formula One.

and the rest being involved with the team in some way), is this true?. It seems quite believable since Hamilton really does owe Mclaren quite a bit due to him being supported throughout his racing career.
