Of course it's normal behaviour if F1 to do a little reconnaissance, or 'reasearch' trips up and down the paddock, and there is nothing wrong with that. Team will see something on a competitors car and try to find out how it works. They may try to duplicate it and run it on a test or in the wind tunnel to see if it would benefit their own car. Again nothing unusual or wrong with that. But to send a package of technical information from one team to another? Like I said before, I just can't imagine how a situation like that would arise, let alone be discovered. I don't want to be the conspiracy theorist here - but I will be anyway - it just makes me wonder how someone would find out about this and tip off McLaren to find the very person to whom the information was sent. Plus Mr. Stepney not getting the job he wanted, potentially looking to move to another team. It's a great way to ruin someone's reputation. It just seems a bit too...urm...convenient.
