Mike Coughlan, who was at the centre of the 'spygate' scandal that rocked Formula One back in 2007 but has returned to Grand Prix racing with Williams, said he aimed to "earn back everyone's respect".
Coughlan was working for Williams's British rivals McLaren when he was suspended from the sport for two years after being found to be in possession of confidential documents belonging to F1 giants Ferrari.
McLaren were fined ufffd50 million and stripped of all their points in the 2007 constructors' championship.
But Coughlan returned to Grand Prix racing last month after being appointed chief engineer of the Williams team.
The events of 2007, Coughlan said, were "life-changing because it made me reflect upon myself and my actions.
"Leaving a team and a sport that I love, and then seeing the consequences of my actions on the team and its fans was devastating".
