Oct.9 (GMM) Nigel Stepney has vowed to continue with his autobiography despite being dropped by his planned publisher.
The sacked Ferrari chief mechanic, who was at the centre of the espionage scandal involving McLaren, revealed last week that Red Mist Books had pulled out because they had been "put under pressure" by an unnamed party.
Red Mist earlier said that Stepney's book would be his "own account of the Stepneygate saga" that rocked formula one this year.
But with a statement issued under the headline 'Too Hot to Handle', Stepney declared on a website bearing his name that he has now made "alternative arrangements" for the book to be published early next year.
He said he had been dropped by Red Mist "rather abruptly" but did not explain why.
Stepney added: "Despite opposition it will still be called 'Red Mist', which aptly describes my present demeanour".
He said proceeds from the sale of the book will go to the Great Ormond Street children's hospital.
