I'd like to see a mini series on the whole 2000-2009 seasons. Alot of controversy and technical innovation were made during these times. It could be a very good watch no matter the era you started watching.
I read up on that. It's actually really sad. Senna was distraught over the incident and was approached by a friend saying he should preemptively retire from the race and take a fishing trip with him. Senna insisted on going out and took with him an Austrian flag in his car to wave in honor of Ratzenberger during the post-race, which they found after pulling apart Senna's wreck. It all reads like a bad omen. Barrichelo almost died that weekend too. Also Senna was apparently planning to chair a driver-led F1 safety commission in the months after the race but never lived to see it.
Senna died, Roland died, Rubens nearly died, two mechanics were hospitalized, eight spectators and a policeman were also injured. It truly was Black Sunday and when it was over, it felt like F1 could end forever. The animal had escaped it's cage.
Part of his disgust was down to him being of the impression that Ferrari wouldn't dare do it, and said so in the laps leading up to the conclusion of that race. The fact that they did left him gobsmacked
Here in Brazil the announcer's live reaction basically became a running joke because of their frustration and anger, it was a meme at a time when memes weren't a thing yet. I remember watching it live back then.

There was a pretty much forgotten controversy in Monza, 1960. Officially, it went down in history as the final victory for a front engine Grand Prix car, however, it was a far from glorious. The seeds of the controversy were sown by the season Ferrari were having up to then. While Cooper and Jack Brabham were well on the way to a second title after claiming both drivers and constructors titles in 1959, Ferrari were yet to win a race as the sport arrived in Italy for the Italian Grand Prix and the prospects for the Scuderia looked bleak as the teams began to arrive in Italy. Then, the organisers hit upon an idea to attempt to tip the balance in favour of Ferrari, use the full combination circuit, which featured the infamous banking. The organisers did this to try to tip the balance in favour of the one advantage Ferrari had in 1960, straight line speed. The rest of the field, lead by Cooper and the other British teams, were outraged at what they saw as blatant Italian Nationalism as the motivating factor in using the combination layout. Feeling that the banking was too dangerous, they issued an ultimatum to the organisers, reverse the layout change or they would pull out of the race weekend. No such reversal was forthcoming and the entry list was reduced to a mix of works and privately entered Ferraris. The driver who won the race, future world champion, Phil Hill, who in a tragic twist of fate would clinch the world championship a year later at that same location after his team mate, Count Wolfgang Von Tripps, was killed when his car clipped the blameless Jim Clark and speared into the crowd lining the track by Parabolica, taking the lives of 15 spectators along with him

Yep. Rich people don’t believe the rules apply to them so when you have a sport that consists of a bunch of rich people trying to build the best car, it’s inevitable everyone is going to assume the rules don’t apply to them.
I always said if they're gonna be taking people to the woodshed for "bringing the sport into disrepute," they better have fined the hell out of themselves for the 2005 US GP.
F1 can be so tone-deaf at times, and the Senna and Hunt instances are proof of this. In the Prost incident, Senna dropped back to about 8th and masterfully drove through the field only to have the win taken from him, and Hunt came back from what should have been catastrophic suspension damage to win. These are great performances that should be immortalized, instead, they get disregarded due to stuffy and obsolete rules and its total bullshit.
Senna did not drop down to eighth. When Prost and Senna collided, they were already one minute ahead of Nannini and 90 seconds in front of Patrese and Boutsen and a lap in front of everyone else. When he came out, he was second behind Nannini and that was it, Talk about lying to try and rewrite history.
@Aidan Brazil I think you're mixing the 1988 and 1989 races together. In the 1988 race, Senna had a terrible start from pole position, leaving him 14th at the end of the first lap, but in a recovery drive worthy of a champion in waiting, he recovered to eventually retake the lead, holding on to it to clinch his first title the best way possible, by winning the race. In 1989, however, he was behind Prost for most of the race, the latter having concentrated on race setup. Senna did close in as the race was coming to a close, but at the time they collided, they were best part of a lap ahead of Nanini (who was running third at the time of the collision). Senna resumed, pitted the following lap for repairs, emerged in second just behind Nanini before retaking the lead to take the win on the road. The official reason for Senna's disqualification was undoubtedly controversial, leading to tongues being wagged about a conflict of interest (Balestre was a personal friend of Prost) and once again led to the FIA showing its contradictory side (penalising Senna for something that hadn't been penalised before, and disregarding the fact that he was in a dangerous place and would have had every right to restart in that circumstance)
That was probably the biggest shot in the foot in the history of F1's attempts to break into the US. What strikes me was the ferocity of the animosity between Bernie and Max Mosley back then, yet nowadays they are all lovey dovey and praising each other on how good they were to work with.

Wierd how the 2002 was such a fiery talking point, yet team orders are common now including Hamilton Bottas in Russia. Also another interesting one was the 2003 tire mould issue and the 2009 Aussie GP with Hamilton being told to lie about passing trulli. Ferrari 2019 engine settlement too Mclaren third pedal in 98 as well. All part of the juicy story of f1
team orders always had happen in F1 since the bloody 50's, i never understood the shock if a Fernando is faster than you or a Valterri it's James happens, it's part of the game
Dont forget the MANY times Bottas have to give way for Hamilton ,from the day Bottas was a Merc driver. As Hamilton stated once ,Bottas is tbe best team mate u could have.
I love how every race driver always talks about how you have to be selfish to win championships but yet when they disobey team orders (to win) they get put into a video like this
Should have included -Teams threating a breakaway series 2009 FIA vs FOTA -The 2021 concorde agreement with the ridiculous 200 million entry fee paid to competitors from new teams before turning a wheel.
Thats exactly the point that annoys me: "A season remembered for the death of Ayrton Senna". You are supposed to be professional journalists. And as such you should at least mention Roland Ratzenberger. Nothing against Senna here, but people always "forgetting to mention" Ratzenberger is disgusting! One of the dislikes is from me...
That's the problem. He is as they say, "Imola's forgotton man" Aside from those who knew him, no one has never heard about him. If there's going to be a documentary about him, the aforementioned words would be the title. Cruel as it is, but that's the way it is.
@@Limegreenedragon There is at least one documentary about him. Its on Amazon, but sadly only in German without subtitles: "Roland Ratzenberger - Der lange Weg zum kurzen Glück". I can really remcommend this one, as long as you do understand a little German...
Unfortunately it's true, a lot of F1 newer fans and general population that know something about 1994 just know/remember that Senna died that year. Ratzenberger deserves to be known more. But the way it's stated in the video is true.
Roland was a backmarker in his debut season whilst Ayrton was a 3x world champion widely considered the greatest F1 driver that ever lived. Guess who is going to be more remembered in pop culture when they both died? Say what you will about how callous it is to not mention Roland, but it's true.
@@T00DEEPBLUE that may be true but a UA-cam channel dedicated to racing is far away from pop culture and thus shouldn't just forget to mention a dead driver...
The reason why Indianapolis Motor Speedway went with diamond grinding before the 2005 United States Grand Prix was because IMS is in Indianapolis, Indiana... winter in Indiana gets really cold, and that affects the pavement... also, the reason why the Bridgestone teams of Ferrari, Jordan and Minardi didn't have the same issues that all the Michelin teams had was due to the fact that Bridgestone had the hookup, since Bridgestone owns Firestone and Firestone is the tire manufacturer for IndyCar, at the time still known as the Indy Racing League, and Firestone was able to gather tons of data on the repaved Indianapolis Motor Speedway because the IRL was running on the track almost daily during the traditional Month of May... also, apparently Firestone and IMS were supposed to share the data with both Bridgestone and Michelin but Michelin never got the data
The tyre manufacturers took two compounds of tyre to each meeting. A safe set and a softer set. The Michelin safe set wasn't suitable so they had no choice (as the softer set would have been way too soft).
McLaren stealing technical information from Ferrari in 2007 was a rememberable one, then again Ron Dennis looks like the sort of guy who would sell his own grandmother.
One forgotten controversy springs to mind, probably the first controversial race in F1 history, the 1960 Italian Grand Prix. Although remembered as the last time a front engined Grand Prix car won a race, it was far from glorious. By the time F1 arrived at Monza for the 1960 Italian Grand Prix, not only had Jack Brabham secured his second World Championship in a row with time to spare, but Ferrari had yet to score a win all year. Enzo Ferrari's old fashioned approach to car design (where he insisted that the horse, meaning the engine, should pull the cart, not push it) meant that his car were unable to match the more dynamically developed cars of Lotus and particularly Cooper. For the Italian organisers, the prospects looked bleak. Then, they hit upon an idea that would tip the balance in the one area Ferrari had superiority in, straight-line speed. Although the Road Course of Monza was an extremely fast track in its own right, the organisers decided to tip the balance even further in favour of the red cars by using the full circuit, which included the banking. Most of the teams were outraged by what they saw as blatant Italian Nationalism as the mindset for changing the layout, feeling that it was (even by the standards of the day) too dangerous. They issued what amounted to an ultimatum for the layout to be reverted to the Road Course or they'd withdraw from the race. No such reversion was forthcoming so the race was reduced to a mix of works and privately entered Ferraris, Porsches and privately entered cars that had Italian engines. Phil Hill took his first win, the first Grand Prix win by an American driver since Jimmy Murphy won the 1921 French Grand Prix (and later the 1922 Indy 500), but as already mentioned, it wasn't a glorious win.
Jonathan Wheatley (who was working for Benetton in 1994) said in the documentary History of the Pitstop: Gone in 2 seconds, that the missing filter in the refueling hose did cause the incident with Verstappen. The nozzle could not take the extra pressure and failed during the pitstop of Schumacher.
That Senna/Prost controversy is VERY popular in Brazil, something u didn't comment is that they tried to change the rule to allow that Senna move, but he got pissed and and barred it
Not sure I would agree that 'Pironi's reputation was ruined'. He was still considered one of the best in the paddock at the time of his near-fatal, career-ending accident later that year...
i mean barrichello was very good but just like so many others he was never the greatest, his ferrari time might have been too biased towards schumacher but we saw how button beat him fair and square
I was surprised by how some of the McLaren key details were let out. It was handled in the video like it was just 2 guys sharing information. I know it's a long story that deserves its own video but Ferrari internal restructure and power struggles, the McLaren people using the Ferrari information and asking for more data, the FIA investigation the McLaren internal one, blackmailing, and the impact it had on drivers lineup were details that deserved a mention.
According to Pedro de Rosa, he said that he and the mechanics shared little information, such as: wich weight balance does Ferrari use? Stuff like that, but they never knew about the "big information" like blueprints.
But those "coffe talks" about weight balance are pretty common in every F1 team because every team has spies(mechanics going from one team to another and the same with drivers). Only Coughlan and Stepney had the big info.
@@mateofrara check the emails leaked. They were receiving information in a frequently way, knew the ones involved and asked for specific details. Not only the drivers didn't whistle as they were supposed to report the leak, they were taking advantage from it.
@@sergiogsr Yes, they received information, like weight balance, braking system, they were having these coffee talks, but I think they never shared plans or big information, as I said before, this is quite common in F1, the point is that they never actually used the information and the FIA could never prove it. But anyway, some team members cheated and paid for it.
@@hyperfuryxdbs6665 Ferrari did team orders yesterday and it was fair since Carlos gave it back to Charles while Mercedes has been screwing Bottas, yeah idk why people scrutinize Ferrari so much and Merc gets away with them scott free
The Austria 2002 controversy could have been avoided. If Ferrari had been slow enough at Barrichello's pit stops, it would have not lead to all the booing that happened afterwards, many outsiders would have been none the wiser (a bit like Massa rejoining from his final stop in Brazil 2007 in traffic, which was just enough to allow Raikkonen to make his final stop and rejoin in the lead, thus securing the world championship for himself)
Ted Kravitz barely hid his disgust at Renault when the ruling on Crashgate was reported in the week of the 2009 Singapore Grand Prix "We now know what happened, Nelson Piquet crashed on purpose to bring out the Safety Car. This wasn't spying on other teams or lying to the Stewards, this was endangering spectators, marshalls and his own safety. The only debate was whether the plan to crash deliberately was Piquet's idea or Pat Symonds', each one blames the other, so someone is still not telling the truth. "The team may have got off lightly in the FIA Court, but Renault have been hit in the pocket, by the immediate withdrawal of title sponsor ING, the financial services company didn't want to be associated with a team that cheats. In an ironic twist, Piquet's replacement Romain Grosjean, spun in precisely the same place in the same way here in Practice yesterday,"
You've forgotten with the 2005 tyre fiasco, that at Australia (I believe) the reverse happened and the 6 cars weren't allowed to race, even though they had a compromise (like the additional corners), so it Bridgestone (I think it was) refused to add the corner in America due to Michelline refusing earlier that season. It was some years ago, but that's what I remember from it
The track configuration needs to be homologated which means a safety check has taken place on the revised configuration. To race on a track that has not gone through this process in the most litigious country in the world could have been a disaster.
I still think Alonso had known something was up at the Singapore GP. That fuel strategy goes against any normal strategy and Alonso would have given a WTF to the team, unless, he knew something right at the time he was in the pits, a safety car was to be deployed...
Chugging Webber's tears* Seriously, what was Webber thinking would happen? He refused to accept a similar team order the year before in Brazil, when Vettel was fighting for the title.
Team orders never went away. Teams were just more sneaky about it. They would just tell driver to do something like change a certain settings on the car. One I always remember was the 1998 Australian Grand Prix. Mika Hakkinem won it with David Coulthard finishing second. The controversy for those that don't know was that Coulthard was winning the opening race of the season with a couple of laps to go, Coulthard let Hakkinem past without orders. It later emerged after the race Hakkinem and Culthard had a gentleman's agreement. If they were in first and second place towards the end of the race. They had agreed who ever was in the lead in the opening lap of the Grand prix would win the race. Hakkinem lead the first lap so Culthard let him past to win the race. Also everyone knows Alonso knew more than he did about the Nelson Piquet incident. He even accidently revealed something in an interview. The team did everything to protect him.
It feels like Mercedes was doing team orders in EVERY race of the last 7 years, but because of the team and driver involved, nobody made a complaint it seems. But that one time that a Ferrari passed another one ... how how ...
You forgot to mention that Senna was given a worse starting position than Prost by the FIA even though Senna was on pole position, and this is a big reason why Prost got out ahead.
Well that was not a controversy as it was obvious that Schumacher had hit him on purpose and was subsequently disqualified from the championship that season. Was there anybody who said umm well this was a race accident so FIA´s decision was unfair?
@@LordOfTheBored There have been numerous Schumacher fans claiming that crash was "Villeneuve's fault because he dived to the inside line". Of course everyone with a functioning brain knows Schumacher did that on purpose. Just like he did against Hill at Adelaide '94.
McLaren and Liargate. Where Truli has gone off at the second last turn behind the safety car and Lewis passed him ( while he was off track so that was OK). Lewis then let TruIi take the place back but the team claimed Truli had overtaken him. Dave Ryan and Lewis went and testified what had happened to the stewards. Later on the radio transmissions were heard proving that McLaren were lieing. It cost Dave Ryan (the team manager) his job.
No mention of 2006 when the FIA banned Renault's mass damper system after it was first deemed legal, or Schumacher continuously cutting the chicane at Budapest to stay ahead de La Rosa and Heidfeld, or Alonso's grid penalty at Monza for supposedly impeding Massa's qualifying lap.
thanks goodness finally someone from inside of f1 is willing to depict what happened at imola 1982 with objectivity! media is always biased even in 1982, esp british media in the hands of a canadian journalist (whose name i shall not repeat here!) i'll always feel bad for pironi whose reputation was single handedly ruined, his tragic end of f1 career and loss of the championship by 1 bloody point, not to mention his death!
With the Indy debacle I was please that the FIA did not budge. Michelin had an advantage the whole year, with just about the only race where they were completely on the backfoot, the wanted changes made so that they could be competitive. That was BS..
While the FIA never "proved" Bennetons use of illegal traction control ,they did "prove" it was on the car with a hidden menu option and Benneton fought tooth and nail to keep their code from being examined. It may just be a coincidence that the car most of the grid suspected of running illegal traction control had a hidden menu option to run traction control ...or it may not.
That '94 Benetton definitely was illegal. Yeah FIA wasn't exactly able to prove the systems were used but the simple fact that Benetton did everything they could to avoid sharing the info should have been enough to disqualify their cars.
Who can forget Scheatmacher's disqualification from the qualifying session for the Monaco Grand Prix 2006 after the stewards ruled he deliberately stopped his Ferrari at the Rascasse corner ... after all, he remains the only driver in the history of the sport to have been disqualified from the Drivers’ Championship. Let's see, there is 1994 Australian Grand Prix, 1997 European Grand Prix, 1998 British Grand Prix, 2002 Austrian Grand Prix, and the above mentioned 2006 Monaco Grand Prix. ... you can make a TOP 10 of only Michael Schumacher controversies.
And there's the whole '94 season. Schumacher's Benetton definitely was illegal. Jos Verstappen for example comfirmed it by saying the two cars in that team were whole different.
(2002 Austria) ''...and schumacher handing Barrichello the winning trophy was the only thing Ferrari where punished for''. Well, of course. Because team orders weren't illegal at the time.
Maybe not being strictly controversy but i want to remind 1999 title fight. In penultimate race Schumi declared to pass Eddie for championship( which he did) but in the last race he didn't, which resulted in Mika's winning by only two points. By his decision Ferraris had to wait another one year to score WDC
Actually, it wouldn't have mattered at all. Irvine and Hakkinen would have been tied at 76 points, but Mika had 5 wins to Irvine's 4. So the only way Irvine had a chance would have been if Michael overtook Mika.
Team orders will always be a part of F1, whether its heard on the radio or not. The #2 driver is known pretty quickly. People complain about being a rough and dirty driver, but Prost did some shady shit too.
I sense a missed opportunity here, to remind the community about a golden quote from Max Mosley, saying that out of this 100M fine, $5 was for the offence itself and $95 was for Ron Dennis being a t**t ^^'
The Tyre Facre is wrong. All Solutions where good BUT Ferrari blocked every singe one of them. Thats why the 2005 Indi GP was what it was. The thing with Senna und Schumacher (Benetton) is for years now official that the Sound Senna heared was Schumi breaking and throtle at the same time. Senna was thinking they used TC.

Hamilton and Mclaren lying to the stewards, Melbourne 2009. For me, the "dumbest scandal ever".
Yes, I always have a chuckle when Lewis says "I don't lie". He's forgotten Liargate.

F1 is just so prone to this it’s really is the way that the sport is built

Yep. Rich people don’t believe the rules apply to them so when you have a sport that consists of a bunch of rich people trying to build the best car, it’s inevitable everyone is going to assume the rules don’t apply to them.
I always said if they're gonna be taking people to the woodshed for "bringing the sport into disrepute," they better have fined the hell out of themselves for the 2005 US GP.
F1 can be so tone-deaf at times, and the Senna and Hunt instances are proof of this. In the Prost incident, Senna dropped back to about 8th and masterfully drove through the field only to have the win taken from him, and Hunt came back from what should have been catastrophic suspension damage to win. These are great performances that should be immortalized, instead, they get disregarded due to stuffy and obsolete rules and its total bullshit.
Senna did not drop down to eighth.
When Prost and Senna collided, they were already one minute ahead of Nannini and 90 seconds in front of Patrese and Boutsen and a lap in front of everyone else. When he came out, he was second behind Nannini and that was it,
Talk about lying to try and rewrite history.
@Aidan Brazil I think you're mixing the 1988 and 1989 races together. In the 1988 race, Senna had a terrible start from pole position, leaving him 14th at the end of the first lap, but in a recovery drive worthy of a champion in waiting, he recovered to eventually retake the lead, holding on to it to clinch his first title the best way possible, by winning the race.
In 1989, however, he was behind Prost for most of the race, the latter having concentrated on race setup. Senna did close in as the race was coming to a close, but at the time they collided, they were best part of a lap ahead of Nanini (who was running third at the time of the collision). Senna resumed, pitted the following lap for repairs, emerged in second just behind Nanini before retaking the lead to take the win on the road.
The official reason for Senna's disqualification was undoubtedly controversial, leading to tongues being wagged about a conflict of interest (Balestre was a personal friend of Prost) and once again led to the FIA showing its contradictory side (penalising Senna for something that hadn't been penalised before, and disregarding the fact that he was in a dangerous place and would have had every right to restart in that circumstance)
Number 0: the final race of the 2021 season
I've got one you missed: the 1984 Tyrrell "lead shot" controversy.
My father was at the 2005 Indy GP. The outrage from the fans was immense, and the actions the fans took we’re with words he can’t even describe.
That was probably the biggest shot in the foot in the history of F1's attempts to break into the US. What strikes me was the ferocity of the animosity between Bernie and Max Mosley back then, yet nowadays they are all lovey dovey and praising each other on how good they were to work with.
As American I Started watching f1 the year before this. Sure what happened was a joke but I do wish usa had more races and drivers on the grid. Even tho there's no representation F1 very popular here in the states, more so than people think there is.
@@dukedub I agree; I dont 'follow' F1 racing mainly because there's nothing here to follow, but I love watching it on TV. I think most Americans love a good race; regardless of what's being raced, lol.
IMS saying they had no idea that the 14 cars may park, yet, the National Guard was already protecting the ticket office when the Formation Lap ended. People were getting violent in the stands, with no yellow shirts, police, or NG present to monitor the worst actors. Me there, with my small son and elderly father, in the middle of it all. Never forgave TG and the Hulmans for this ignorance and neglect, and never will.
Was there. Corner 1 bleachers. It was disappointing, to say the least. Seeing hundreds of cans of beer flying across the fences onto the track was amusing.

Wierd how the 2002 was such a fiery talking point, yet team orders are common now including Hamilton Bottas in Russia.
Also another interesting one was the 2003 tire mould issue and the 2009 Aussie GP with Hamilton being told to lie about passing trulli.
Ferrari 2019 engine settlement too
Mclaren third pedal in 98 as well.
All part of the juicy story of f1
team orders always had happen in F1 since the bloody 50's, i never understood the shock if a Fernando is faster than you or a Valterri it's James happens, it's part of the game

Thats exactly the point that annoys me: "A season remembered for the death of Ayrton Senna". You are supposed to be professional journalists. And as such you should at least mention Roland Ratzenberger. Nothing against Senna here, but people always "forgetting to mention" Ratzenberger is disgusting! One of the dislikes is from me...
That's the problem. He is as they say, "Imola's forgotton man" Aside from those who knew him, no one has never heard about him. If there's going to be a documentary about him, the aforementioned words would be the title. Cruel as it is, but that's the way it is.
@@Limegreenedragon There is at least one documentary about him. Its on Amazon, but sadly only in German without subtitles: "Roland Ratzenberger - Der lange Weg zum kurzen Glück". I can really remcommend this one, as long as you do understand a little German...
Unfortunately it's true, a lot of F1 newer fans and general population that know something about 1994 just know/remember that Senna died that year.
Ratzenberger deserves to be known more. But the way it's stated in the video is true.
Roland was a backmarker in his debut season whilst Ayrton was a 3x world champion widely considered the greatest F1 driver that ever lived. Guess who is going to be more remembered in pop culture when they both died? Say what you will about how callous it is to not mention Roland, but it's true.
@@T00DEEPBLUE that may be true but a UA-cam channel dedicated to racing is far away from pop culture and thus shouldn't just forget to mention a dead driver...
The reason why Indianapolis Motor Speedway went with diamond grinding before the 2005 United States Grand Prix was because IMS is in Indianapolis, Indiana... winter in Indiana gets really cold, and that affects the pavement... also, the reason why the Bridgestone teams of Ferrari, Jordan and Minardi didn't have the same issues that all the Michelin teams had was due to the fact that Bridgestone had the hookup, since Bridgestone owns Firestone and Firestone is the tire manufacturer for IndyCar, at the time still known as the Indy Racing League, and Firestone was able to gather tons of data on the repaved Indianapolis Motor Speedway because the IRL was running on the track almost daily during the traditional Month of May... also, apparently Firestone and IMS were supposed to share the data with both Bridgestone and Michelin but Michelin never got the data
The tyre manufacturers took two compounds of tyre to each meeting. A safe set and a softer set. The Michelin safe set wasn't suitable so they had no choice (as the softer set would have been way too soft).
McLaren stealing technical information from Ferrari in 2007 was a rememberable one, then again Ron Dennis looks like the sort of guy who would sell his own grandmother.
One forgotten controversy springs to mind, probably the first controversial race in F1 history, the 1960 Italian Grand Prix. Although remembered as the last time a front engined Grand Prix car won a race, it was far from glorious. By the time F1 arrived at Monza for the 1960 Italian Grand Prix, not only had Jack Brabham secured his second World Championship in a row with time to spare, but Ferrari had yet to score a win all year. Enzo Ferrari's old fashioned approach to car design (where he insisted that the horse, meaning the engine, should pull the cart, not push it) meant that his car were unable to match the more dynamically developed cars of Lotus and particularly Cooper.
For the Italian organisers, the prospects looked bleak. Then, they hit upon an idea that would tip the balance in the one area Ferrari had superiority in, straight-line speed. Although the Road Course of Monza was an extremely fast track in its own right, the organisers decided to tip the balance even further in favour of the red cars by using the full circuit, which included the banking. Most of the teams were outraged by what they saw as blatant Italian Nationalism as the mindset for changing the layout, feeling that it was (even by the standards of the day) too dangerous. They issued what amounted to an ultimatum for the layout to be reverted to the Road Course or they'd withdraw from the race. No such reversion was forthcoming so the race was reduced to a mix of works and privately entered Ferraris, Porsches and privately entered cars that had Italian engines.
Phil Hill took his first win, the first Grand Prix win by an American driver since Jimmy Murphy won the 1921 French Grand Prix (and later the 1922 Indy 500), but as already mentioned, it wasn't a glorious win.
M. Schumacher parking his car at Rascasse during 2006 Monaco GP qualification.
Jonathan Wheatley (who was working for Benetton in 1994) said in the documentary History of the Pitstop: Gone in 2 seconds, that the missing filter in the refueling hose did cause the incident with Verstappen. The nozzle could not take the extra pressure and failed during the pitstop of Schumacher.
I swear I've seen this exact video at least 10 times across all the f1 youtube channels, even this one

Yeah like David Hobbs said Alonso gets the most out of the car put him in Hamilton's car and see what happens
That Senna/Prost controversy is VERY popular in Brazil, something u didn't comment is that they tried to change the rule to allow that Senna move, but he got pissed and and barred it
Not sure I would agree that 'Pironi's reputation was ruined'. He was still considered one of the best in the paddock at the time of his near-fatal, career-ending accident later that year...

always wondered why a multimillion dollar company like McLaren had to use a copy shop to photocopy documents
Well that was clever of Benetton to have Windows 95 for their option 13 a year before in was even released :p
I was surprised by how some of the McLaren key details were let out. It was handled in the video like it was just 2 guys sharing information.
I know it's a long story that deserves its own video but Ferrari internal restructure and power struggles, the McLaren people using the Ferrari information and asking for more data, the FIA investigation the McLaren internal one, blackmailing, and the impact it had on drivers lineup were details that deserved a mention.
Should probably have an entire video dedicated to it.
According to Pedro de Rosa, he said that he and the mechanics shared little information, such as: wich weight balance does Ferrari use? Stuff like that, but they never knew about the "big information" like blueprints.
But those "coffe talks" about weight balance are pretty common in every F1 team because every team has spies(mechanics going from one team to another and the same with drivers). Only Coughlan and Stepney had the big info.
@@mateofrara check the emails leaked. They were receiving information in a frequently way, knew the ones involved and asked for specific details. Not only the drivers didn't whistle as they were supposed to report the leak, they were taking advantage from it.
@@sergiogsr Yes, they received information, like weight balance, braking system, they were having these coffee talks, but I think they never shared plans or big information, as I said before, this is quite common in F1, the point is that they never actually used the information and the FIA could never prove it. But anyway, some team members cheated and paid for it.
Thank you for some F1 content that isn't freaking out about Mclaren not changing their livery 🙂
One that continues to live in my head rent free: the Williams saga of 79-early 82
What exactly happened??? I only knew about Williams vs FIA in 1993

Ferrari and their team orders🤣 i hope Carlos is watching this
@@hyperfuryxdbs6665 Ferrari did team orders yesterday and it was fair since Carlos gave it back to Charles while Mercedes has been screwing Bottas, yeah idk why people scrutinize Ferrari so much and Merc gets away with them scott free
The Austria 2002 controversy could have been avoided. If Ferrari had been slow enough at Barrichello's pit stops, it would have not lead to all the booing that happened afterwards, many outsiders would have been none the wiser (a bit like Massa rejoining from his final stop in Brazil 2007 in traffic, which was just enough to allow Raikkonen to make his final stop and rejoin in the lead, thus securing the world championship for himself)
Ted Kravitz barely hid his disgust at Renault when the ruling on Crashgate was reported in the week of the 2009 Singapore Grand Prix
"We now know what happened, Nelson Piquet crashed on purpose to bring out the Safety Car. This wasn't spying on other teams or lying to the Stewards, this was endangering spectators, marshalls and his own safety. The only debate was whether the plan to crash deliberately was Piquet's idea or Pat Symonds', each one blames the other, so someone is still not telling the truth.
"The team may have got off lightly in the FIA Court, but Renault have been hit in the pocket, by the immediate withdrawal of title sponsor ING, the financial services company didn't want to be associated with a team that cheats. In an ironic twist, Piquet's replacement Romain Grosjean, spun in precisely the same place in the same way here in Practice yesterday,"
The 2008 Crashgate still fresh in everyone's mind.
Time to release a post-2021 Abu Dhabi update
You've forgotten with the 2005 tyre fiasco, that at Australia (I believe) the reverse happened and the 6 cars weren't allowed to race, even though they had a compromise (like the additional corners), so it Bridgestone (I think it was) refused to add the corner in America due to Michelline refusing earlier that season.
It was some years ago, but that's what I remember from it
The track configuration needs to be homologated which means a safety check has taken place on the revised configuration. To race on a track that has not gone through this process in the most litigious country in the world could have been a disaster.
I still think Alonso had known something was up at the Singapore GP. That fuel strategy goes against any normal strategy and Alonso would have given a WTF to the team, unless, he knew something right at the time he was in the pits, a safety car was to be deployed...

Team orders never went away. Teams were just more sneaky about it. They would just tell driver to do something like change a certain settings on the car. One I always remember was the 1998 Australian Grand Prix. Mika Hakkinem won it with David Coulthard finishing second. The controversy for those that don't know was that Coulthard was winning the opening race of the season with a couple of laps to go, Coulthard let Hakkinem past without orders. It later emerged after the race Hakkinem and Culthard had a gentleman's agreement. If they were in first and second place towards the end of the race. They had agreed who ever was in the lead in the opening lap of the Grand prix would win the race. Hakkinem lead the first lap so Culthard let him past to win the race. Also everyone knows Alonso knew more than he did about the Nelson Piquet incident. He even accidently revealed something in an interview. The team did everything to protect him.
It feels like Mercedes was doing team orders in EVERY race of the last 7 years, but because of the team and driver involved, nobody made a complaint it seems. But that one time that a Ferrari passed another one ... how how ...
You forgot to mention that Senna was given a worse starting position than Prost by the FIA even though Senna was on pole position, and this is a big reason why Prost got out ahead.
What about the Ferrari 2019 engine and the rumored tampering with its fuel flow?
Nothing about Schumacher hitting Villeneuve on purpose?
They did show a picture when talking about title deciding collisions, but yeah, this videos needs a part 2...
Schumi didn’t win that race so that’s probably why
That was just another day at the office for Shoe-maker, so it's nothing out of the ordinary.
Well that was not a controversy as it was obvious that Schumacher had hit him on purpose and was subsequently disqualified from the championship that season. Was there anybody who said umm well this was a race accident so FIA´s decision was unfair?
@@LordOfTheBored There have been numerous Schumacher fans claiming that crash was "Villeneuve's fault because he dived to the inside line".
Of course everyone with a functioning brain knows Schumacher did that on purpose. Just like he did against Hill at Adelaide '94.

McLaren and Liargate. Where Truli has gone off at the second last turn behind the safety car and Lewis passed him ( while he was off track so that was OK). Lewis then let TruIi take the place back but the team claimed Truli had overtaken him. Dave Ryan and Lewis went and testified what had happened to the stewards. Later on the radio transmissions were heard proving that McLaren were lieing. It cost Dave Ryan (the team manager) his job.

2021 season finale comes knocking and wants into this list.
With the Indy debacle I was please that the FIA did not budge. Michelin had an advantage the whole year, with just about the only race where they were completely on the backfoot, the wanted changes made so that they could be competitive. That was BS..
While the FIA never "proved" Bennetons use of illegal traction control ,they did "prove" it was on the car with a hidden menu option and Benneton fought tooth and nail to keep their code from being examined.
It may just be a coincidence that the car most of the grid suspected of running illegal traction control had a hidden menu option to run traction control ...or it may not.
That '94 Benetton definitely was illegal. Yeah FIA wasn't exactly able to prove the systems were used but the simple fact that Benetton did everything they could to avoid sharing the info should have been enough to disqualify their cars.

(2002 Austria) ''...and schumacher handing Barrichello the winning trophy was the only thing Ferrari where punished for''. Well, of course. Because team orders weren't illegal at the time.
Time for a video remake!
Maybe not being strictly controversy but i want to remind 1999 title fight. In penultimate race Schumi declared to pass Eddie for championship( which he did) but in the last race he didn't, which resulted in Mika's winning by only two points.
By his decision Ferraris had to wait another one year to score WDC
Actually, it wouldn't have mattered at all. Irvine and Hakkinen would have been tied at 76 points, but Mika had 5 wins to Irvine's 4. So the only way Irvine had a chance would have been if Michael overtook Mika.
