      could have easily been fatal, Senna’s car had a faulty steering column which theoretically broke mid corner and killed him, and that Eau Rouge/Raidillon corner is high speed, absolutely attempted murder if they sent him out knowing his steering was broken

      Funny thing is that they actually did that in the 2018 Japanese Gp qualifying(Q3). Ferrari sent their drivers on the wets anticipating rain, but it didn't rain for the first 3 minutes of the session so the other drivers on the track set their laps on slicks. Then ferrari went in the pits for slicks and it started raining. Kimi could barely get a lap in while Seb qualified 10th.

    The biggest F1 punishment I have ever heard of was after Senna's fatal crash at Imola. Adrian Newey, the chief designer at the time, and a few other high ranking team members were charged with *murder* . The court case went on for a few years and the charges were eventually dropped, but it was still a massive scandal.

    • @gustavomarques4097
      @gustavomarques4097 Před 2 lety +31

      Sorry for replying a year later, but actually the charges brought against Adrian Newey and Patrick Head after Senna's death weren't launched by the FIA or F1 itself.
      Because Senna allegedly died on track, the italian law allowed to press charges for murder against Williams' crew and directors on behalf of the italian state.
      The case actually went ahead, Head and Newey initially were both acquitted, then the case was re-opened but eventually was dropped because it had prescribed after 5 years.

If Massa did not finish 15th because of the safety car that was deliberately caused by Renault, Massa and not Hamilton would have won the 2008 World championship which would have been completely undeserved for Massa and Ferrari because Ferrari petitioned the FIA to dock 25 seconds to Lewis in the Belgian GP even though Kimi crashed his car on his own thus Lewis did not gain an adantage over Kimi

      McLaren committed corporate espionage and stole information worth tens of millions of dollars directly from their closest rival. How is that at all similar to anything in recent years?

      I think they got let off very lightly and they should have got the initial penalty proposed by Mosely - the drivers were still allowed to drive the same cars that year and the following year which could have benefited from the spying. Fortunately neither of them won in 2007, but given how close 2008 was some illegally obtained Ferrari data could have contributed the tiny but to make that a winning car

    Regarding the spying Ferrari, two Italian engineers gave info to two teams other than McLaren, one of which was Toyota and IIRC, the other was Renault but I do stand to be corrected.
    The FIA knew this. Neither team manager acted like Dennis (who called in the FIA the moment he found out about it) yet neither team got any punishment. Watch Aidan Millward's video on it. It's eye-opening.
    Oh yes, neither engineer or mechanic or whatever they were, were sacked.

    Some of the commenter are not a fan of Takuma Sato? He's a quality racer, was exciting to watch during his F1 outings, an engaging and genial interview, and a 2x Indy winner. That last one puts him in rare company indeed. He is certainly no Senna, Fangio, Schumacher, or Hamilton (or Clark or Prost or Stewart or Vettel, but you get the point...) but he is probably the greatest Japanese racer in history, a country with immense pedigree and a real love for motorsport. He found his level on the world stage, and has had a very long and successful career. I'd put his career accolades in the ballpark of drivers like Webber or Coulthard. Mostly because of his Oval track success, but he drove pretty well in his F1 days too! Many happy Sundays watching him, and shows no signs of quitting yet! The Sato's of the world are under appreciated in their time, but beloved in retrospect.

This wasn't spying on other teams or lying to the Stewards, this was endangering spectators, marshalls and his own safety," by rights, Renault should have been excluded if they had been McLaren for example. There was some karma in a sense though, quoting Ted Kravitz again,
    "(...) 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,"

    Andrea Moda even once sent McCarthy out with an ill-fitted seat at Monaco, meaning he was being thrown around the cockpit and seeing double the whole lap, hence his fastest time was so woefully slow that a competitive runner could easily jog round the circuit faster.
    It's also worth noting that McCarthy was initially refused a super licence at Brazil, and that around the time of the next race in Spain, Enrico Bertaggia had approached the team with around $1M of sponsorship money for a race seat, but the FIA blocked any more driver substitutions within the team. It was at this point that Sasseti ignored the Brit's entry in an attempt to get him to quit, hence he could bring in Bertaggia.

    In the days of Stepneygate, I had contacts in F1. I used to run fanzines and was friends with someone high up in a company that sponsored both Tyrell and McLaren. All were outraged by Mosley's actions against McLaren, particularly the fact that they found virtually nothing against them despite the massive amount of data they had. Mosley had to accept that Dennis had not deleted anything. The suggestion of the brakes was straw-grabbing at best. Further, the 'apology', written by lawyers of course, was more or less a pleasantly worded rejection of the findings of the enquiry. I had a friend, an F1 nerd and compliance lawyer, who said that it was a classic non-apology, indicative of the quality of their lawyers. Nothing in it could be picked up by Mosley to justify - although Mosley needed little justification for any action he took - punishing McLaren, or should I be specific and say Dennis, further. It's a terrible indictment of Modely's tenure as the boss of the sport that he fined McL that amount but for the team that nearly burnt down the German pit lane, there was very little in the way of sanctions.
    There were two people involved, one from McLaren and one from Ferrari, in offering information for employment down the pitlane. McLaren got turned over and Ferrari - well, we're still waiting for what's going to happen to them. What info did Coughlan take from McL?
    A small point, but I think indicative of the man, is that Hamilton rejected immunity. The only people there was any evidence against were Alonso and de la Rossa, and they got off scot free.
    All water under the bridge now, but it's best to get the facts straight. I downloaded the result of the FIA's enquiry the day it was published, complete with redacted bits. My friendly lawyer phoned me to say that all one had to do to reveal the redacted parts was to change the colouring in Word. Quite an error, but as it was down to Mosley's FIA it was allowed.
    We've now got Todt in charge. The FIA gets no direct income from F1, Mosley stopped that for reasons unexplained, but despite that, he's doing a much better job than either of the two previous incumbents. He doesn't do much. That's a vast improvement.

    • @thef726
      @thef726 Před 3 lety

      They can still use the brake ducts because the are legal from a technical standpoint. The technical regulations state how the ducts have to look and everything and RPs are fine with this.
      What's wrong is the way they developed them, and that falls under the sporting regulations. And that's what they got the punishment for.
      And it's quite difficult to erase the knowledge about the brake ducts from the brains of the engineers making it difficult to find a good solution.

    To elaborate on 5:36: If I recall correctly, the other teams were trying to make turbo engines mandatory, but they needed unanimous approval, and Tyrrell refused to budge. Their disqualification, however, conveniently meant that their approval was no longer needed, and turbo engines thus became mandatory for 1985.
    I'm not suggesting that Tyrrell were disqualified for the sole purpose of getting the rule change pushed through, but Ken Tyrrell certainly believed that.

    Team orders being illegal is the weirdest rule of them all. You drive in tandem for a team (making it a team sport) why can"t the team order a driver to pass?
    Messi: I got the ball
    Koeman: score a goal
    Messi: I am at the circle
    Koeman: Pass
    Messi: Nope, team orders.

      Because it's different. In football there's no big title for scoring the post points, and it's impossible to judge players against eahc other as each one has a different position and objective for the team. In Racing, the drivers are competiting individually, and together. So every team wants to finish with a 1-2, but every driver wants that 1 to be them.
      Also, because it simply makes for boring viewing. To see drivers not race for the lead and instead slow down and let their biggest rival, their team mate, pass is boring for spectators. and if F1 becomes boring people will stop watching.
