MIKE Coughlan has started work at Williams with a heartfelt apology to his former employer McLaren and rival Ferrari for his involvement in a spying controversy that rocked Formula One in 2007. The Briton has joined the struggling former world champion as chief engineer and is lined up to take over as technical director when Australian Sam Michael leaves at the end of the season.
Coughlan was sacked by McLaren after he was found to have a 780-page dossier of secret Ferrari information in his possession. Ferrari dismissed Nigel Stepney, the British engineer accused of passing the information to Coughlan. The so-called "Spygate" affair saw McLaren suffer a record US$100 million fine and the loss of all its constructors' points that year. "I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to everyone who was affected by my conduct and in particular the people at McLaren and Ferrari and the fans of those teams," he said yesterday after his first day at the Grove factory.
