Jul.17 (GMM) McLaren has put further distance between itself and suspended chief designer Mike Coughlan.
The Woking based team on Monday angrily denied Coughlan's alleged admission that he told several fellow McLaren employees about his possession of reams of secret Ferrari material.
The contents of his confidential sworn affidavit were reportedly leaked to the Italian press by Ferrari, the other main player in the espionage saga that has scandalised formula one.
McLaren rejected reports of Coughlan's quotes as "erroneous speculation" that gave rise to "inaccurate and misleading" coverage.
The strongly worded statement continued: "This is unfortunate and is prejudicial to a fair interpretation of these matters."
The Mercedes powered team reiterated that "the fact that (Coughlan) held at his home unsolicited materials from Ferrari was not known to any other member of the team prior to (3 July)."
