Who will 'Stepney' in it first?

Reading the articles about the FIA taking no formal action against former Ferrari engineer Nigel Stepney for his admitted role in the McLaren spygate incident got me to wondering... Which team will hire him?

If F1 is anything like other major sports, you know somebody will give him a shot, the FIA's 'suggestion' that nobody hire him before July 2009 notwithstanding. The key phrase in the release was, "without conducting appropriate due diligence regarding his suitability for involvement in international motor sport."

How many times have we seen recycled football or basketball coaches, not to mention the players who get second (or seventh) chances? Some team will issue a statement about his hiring, along with the requisite use of the word "diligence" in reference to their thorough investigation which convinces them that ole Nige has plenty to offer their team and the sport.

This will be interesting to watch, though I think I'll worry more about the actual racing. Just a few days to go now...
