Where they on Adrian Sutil's hard drive?

Should have read the link, yes they were.

Lewis Hamilton blackmail plot :rolleyes:

Sutil was the one blackmailed but who in the UK would care to read about that? Add Lewis Hamilton's name and you have a story

[yodasarmpit]

So this was actually a story about the Sutil blackmailer being caught, but somehow the Mirror managed to turn it into a Hamilton story. :eek:

Article also says the pics were "not sensitive". :confused:

So unless they were pics of Lewis and Fernando having an amicable beer or coffee together I can't imagine how they'd be valuable for blackmailing.

see, this is why i hate the british tabloid media. It's an absolute joke. Lewis Hamilton blackmail case... OH NO! oh wait, its Sutil!

How lame is that

[Valve Bounce]

Moral of the story is: If anyone is going to sell a PC, you either destroy the hard drive (Magnet + hand drill + heat over cooking ring), or at least get a program like Cyberscrub and erase everything on it.

the thing that made me think that it must have been a second person who was blackmailing lewis was that the first post was on the 8th

I can exclusivly reveal that it was a picture of Lewis, bent over, with Fernandos' tooth brush sticking out of his ass :D

Hope that clears it up :)

What I find Hilarious is I started a thread about Sutil and blackmail
It got 115 views and not a single reply. Now that it apears that LH was also
contacted because of information of his involved. It becomes a topic worth discussing! :laugh:

Sirprise, surprise.

A hugely famous English driver, in a English team, on a English speaking forum with a large proportion of English members generates more interest than a slightly famous German driver in a Indian enterd newbi team.

I can't understand it either

:confused:

Slow at the moment, isn't it. We need a decent story.

Even ioan is only half bashing as nothing's really out there :laugh:

[Tazio]

It is slow! That's why I opened the testing thread!
That will get us something to discuss!
Cheers

Sutil reportedly was unaware that his personal information, Swiss bank account transactions, photographs, and correspondence between him and another racing friend were still on the hard disk, which his father had previously disposed of, according to a report in the U.K.-based Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/1949051/Lewis-Hamilton-and-friend-in-blackmail-plot.html).
