Worst crime ever committed in F1?
Fri Sep 16, 2011 4:21 am
That Renault team orders crash from a couple of years ago has gotta be up there.
I've found a way of ducting exhaust right to the diffuser edge like in 2011 and created a new wheel fastener that could allow sub 2 second pitstops see them here --> My 2013 F1 Concept Project

A few things in my mind:
1)The Renault 'crash-gate' scandal
2)Banning tobacco advertisements - takes vital sponsorship money away from F1, especially for some of the smaller teams who could really use it.
Why not let the cigarette companies do something good for a change?
3)Removing Spa from the calender or even alternating it with another circuit would be a serious serious crime as it is the best circuit in F1 and a fan favourite.
This crime is made worse by the fact that we have boring circuits like Bahrain and Valencia and the Tilkedromes on the calender
..........which leads me to another crime
4)Letting Herman Tilke design so many of the new circuits
He's been responsible for such crappy circuits as Bahrain and Abu Dhabi (he basically could have made a brilliant track, doing whatever he wanted in the desert).
I mean what are some of the circuits this guy is responsible for?
Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Valencia, China, Malaysia, South Korea, Singapore and Turkey.
Not my favourite circuits by a long way (although I'll admit that turn 8 in Instanbul Park is a rare display of genius).
I can't help but feel the chance to design some really exciting circuits for the calender has been wasted.

Interesting take on the tobacco sponsorship, very refreshing. I didn't realise one guy did so many tracks. No wonder they are boring, theres only so many ways one mind can put corners together. Chinas the pick of them although thats not saying much. They should let others have a go, get a bit of imagination and new ideas coming through. I think everyone likes turn 8 at turkey cause the rest of the track is a bit average so it stands out.

How could we forget that one. 'The show must go on' was taken WAY to far that day.

In no particular order:
* Renault crashgate.
* Senna death.
* Doubledeck diffusergate.
* The continued lack of consistency by the stewards.
* The continued lack of consistency in imposing technical regulations.
* Mansel's eyebrows
* Alonso is faster than you
* Vettel's finger.
* The lifeless, soulless Bahrain and Abu Dhabi GP
* Jonathan Leggard
* Sky getting F1
* Virgin MVR-02
* Mansel's tash (by request, but criminal nevertheless)

Mansell's mustache is awesome.
Crashgate really gets my vote by a mile. Putting your driver and other drivers at risk by causing a crash on purpose... That is properly criminal.
Second would be how come Alonso is still allowed to drive. He was implicated in the Crash Gate, the spygate, the Fernandoisfasterthanyougate... So many gates, he should be a slalom skier, not an F1 driver. Can anyone really believe he was involved in none of those things?
And yes, Eddie Jordan's shirts.
Come to think of it, if Mansell and Jordan had a kid...

didnt he himself agreed with it? If he didnt agree with it he would have fulfilled his contract.
Not really.
He got the money but thats all. Ferrari told him to leave. Once somebody tells you that you are not wanted anymore you better go. It is not that he agreed with that.
