F1's biggest controversies ranked?

[TheDeuce]

Crashgate + everything Flavio did? AD21? Ferrari giving themselves a special payment to remain in F1? Flavio returning (wtf)? MBS sacking everyone that could investigate him and bribing everyone else?

None of us should be proud of bothering with this sport

What do we think is F1's most shameful moment, so far?

AD21 by a long shot.

Mosley's personal vendetta against Dennis has to be up there too.

The sport is riddled with corruption, top to bottom.

I think AD21 due it changing the title result and not even because someone cheated at the team that won, but because of ineptitude (or worse) at the top.

But obviously crashgate got the big penalty and supposedly a lifetime ban...

1. AD21 - nothing can top the FIA breaking the rules and changing the WDC
2. Schumacher trying to kill Barichello
3. McLaren 100m fine
4. Ferrari fuel flow (lower down because even cheating they managed not to win)
5. Piquet crash in Singapore.

I deliberately didn't bother to mention the Ferrari fuel flow thing because it's just pathetic that they cheated to that extent and still didn't win

That must have been a wake up call for the team...

Senna not being disqualified for punting Prost off.

Surely Schumi taking out Hill to take the title must be on the list?

It definitely should be on the list. Although personally I rank drivers being desperate and selfish on track not as terrible as pre orchestrad stuff like crashgate or the failure of the sport to apply the rules in 2021.

IE: I'd rather have schumi back than have ever seen the likes of Masi as RD or MBS as head of the FIA ..
