“Hi Mike,” De la Rosa wrote to Coughlan on March 21, “do you know the Red Car’s Weight Distribution? It would be important for us to know so that we could try it in the simulator. Thanks in advance, Pedro. PS I will be in the simulator tomorrow.” De la Rosa confirmed to the World Council that Coughlan replied by text message with precise details of the Ferrari weight distribution but said that it was not tested because it was so different to that of McLaren. A few days later de la Rosa told Alonso about the weight distribution (to two decimal points) and Alonso replied that he was surprised and doubted it was true. De la Rosa replied that the information was reliable. “It comes from Nigel Stepney, their former chief mechanic,” he wrote. “I don’t know what post he holds now. He’s the same person who told us in Australia that Kimi was stopping on lap 18. He is very friendly with Mike Coughlan, our chief designer and he told him that”. http://www.autoracingdaily.com/13925/
