Maranello: Ferrari has fired a British technician following an internal probe into attempted sabotage before the Monaco Grand Prix. “All I can say is that Nigel Stepney is no longer our employee,” Ferrari spokesman Luca Colajanni said Tuesday.

The Formula One team has also filed a criminal complaint against Stepney.

A mysterious powder reportedly was found on the gas tanks of Felipe Massa’s and Kimi Raikkonen’s cars on May 21, six days before the Monaco race. (AP)
