It has been said something about an email de la Rosa sent to Alonso early this year
“Do you know that I’ve found out how Ferrari is able to get its tires to work to perfection?” de la Rosa was quoted as writing to Alonso earlier this year.
He added: “Nigel Stepney told Mike Coughlan.”
“I don’t believe it,” Alonso reportedly replied.
Alonso shouldn’t have any problems believing it now for sure - now that we all know the tendency of Nige and Coughlan to talk about things they clearly shouldn’t be talking about.

A journalist has admitted that he invented the contents of the supposed email that may be part of FIA's 'new evidence' against McLaren.
As the espionage saga scaled new heights in the Monza paddock, La Gazzetta dello Sport published this exchange between Pedro de la Rosa and Fernando Alonso.
But Italian journalist Pino Allievi has now confessed to concocting the exchange in order to make his article about the existence of the email 'more credible'.
"I made a free interpretation of what might have been said in the email," he told AP, insisting that the hypothetical nature of the drivers' dialogue was mentioned on his article published on Friday.
