Stefan GP recently announced their proposed entry for the 2011 F1 season. Along with this came a brand new website.
On the website, a section called ‘team’ features an image of those involved in the project, but we’ve seen the image before, but now there seems to be someone missing.
Take a look at the two photo’s below, the old one [left] features disgraced ex-McLaren employee Mike Coughlan, whom Stefan GP hired in their bid to gain entry into the 2010 season – this bid was denied by the FIA on ‘timeframe’ grounds, however many people thought it was to do with Coughlan’s employment.
Now look at the new image [right], featured on the new website. Coughlan has been removed from the image.
It’s likely Stefanovic took the decision to ‘remove’ Coughlan from Stefan GP to please the FIA, in the hope it will work in favour of their 2011 entry bid.
Or, alternatively, could they be hiding him from the FIA instead?
