LONDON - The former Ferrari mechanic at the heart of the Formula One spy scandal will have to wait until March to state his case to a FIA disciplinary commission. John Stockton Swingman Jersey . Nigel Stepneys lawyers said Friday that a hearing scheduled to be held last week in London had been postponed because of "flight difficulties" in Geneva. Law firm Coyle White Devine said the hearing would now take place after March 7, but did not specify a date. "Despite having to endure months of unfounded allegations, Mr. Stepney has maintained a dignified silence, secure in the knowledge that he would, one day, be able to explain his position and offer a perspective based on more than 30 years as a Formula One insider," the firm said in a statement. "Mr. Stepney is very much looking forward to this postponed opportunity to put his side of the story in a legal environment, rather than continue to endure ill-informed allegations against him." Stepney was head of performance development at Ferrari when the scandal broke last July and he was accused of leaking confidential data to rival McLaren. A 780-page technical dossier on Ferrari cars was found at the home of McLaren chief designer Mike Coughlan. Stepney was fired from Ferrari, while McLaren was fined a record US$100 million by the World Motor Sport Council and kicked out of the manufacturers championship after being accused of using the leaked information. In subsequent interviews, Stepney has said he was only seeking out job opportunities and McLaren had inappropriately used the information. Meanwhile, a meeting between McLaren executives and an Italian prosecutor in Italy has been postponed indefinitely. The secretary for Modena prosecutor Giuseppe Tibis tells Reuters that a planned Monday meeting has been cancelled and no new date has been set. The meeting, which was to have included McLaren boss Ron Dennis, was called as part of the Italian legal probe into the spygate affair. Tibis has already spoken with former McLaren driver Fernando Alonso and current test driver Pedro de la Rosa, whose email exchanges was cited by FIA as key evidence in the scandal last summer. McLaren executives said last week that their lawyers had received "some papers" from Tibis office and that they were reviewing them. Clippers Chris Paul Jersey .
