You do realize that those things were installed by the team not him, right? Unless you can prove that MS ordered Benetton to install these things, it's Benetton, who cheated, not MS and why aren't you equally unhappy with Verstappen, Lehto and Herbert, who drove the Benetton as well...

Since the topic of the thread is about which moments tainted the sport most as opposed to which driver you hate most. What's your take on Senna piling into Prost at much higher speed that Schumacher hopping over Hills wheel. What's your take on Prost nerfing Senna off in Suzuka to decide the title?

He wasn't penalized, because the pitlane belongs to the track, crossing the finish line in the pits is every bit as good as on the sf-straight. It was a loophole in the rules and he used it, like for instance having one of your drivers take a deliberate penalty to promote the #1 driver....

see prost/Senna for at Suzuka for two years in succession. Watch a few races of the 80s especially the antics of Senna and Piquet. Schumacher is a catholic schoolgirl in comparison.

If you spent more than three seasons on turning Ferrari from a laughing stock to a serious team, would you come back to hand the title to your mediocre team mate to reap the rewards of your work? It was Schumacher who lured Brawn and Byrne from Benetton to Ferrari, not Irvine. Unless you're Mother Theresa you wouldn't have come back either, so spare us the holier than thou attitude.

Senna had all his team mates on a slave contract, so has Alonso. Why singling out MS?

I think he should have gotten a medal just for being Dick Dastardly (Jeremy Clarckson)

Completely agree with in the pits!

DJ bytedisaster please stop brown nosing him! He's a cheat and what he did compared to Senna is disgraceful!

HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN BANNED FOR LIFE!

I'm English/British and I can admit that some of our drivers are complete numpties I can't stand Mansell he takes arragance to the next level. I'm not a fan of Jenson Button either. So why can't you Germans admit that he is in the wrong sometimes!

As in the pits said His career was a based on BS and unfair advantages sounds a lot like a certain Lance Armstrong

This thread would possibly be quite interesting were it not for a lot of the posts in it.

Yes, as you said In The Pits/Coulthard Fan, you don't understand a thing, are completely resistant to facts and even live in the delusion that people wouldn't notice a double account. in your incarnation as 'in the pits' you have 10 posts, 8 of which are pure Schumacher bashing, whether it was related to the thread topic or not and your other incarnation isn't much better, so please don't go away angry, but go away.

I really think this thread needs to be moderated soonest.

How sad poorly worded opinions and over sensitivity have ruined what could have been a good thread. I think it's run it's course. :(

For some reason the Like Button wouldn't work.

But sadly I agree Henners. All threads which mean vastly different views by people always seem to head the same way. :(

The banning of the twin-chassis Lotus 88 in 1981.

This was an imaginative, innovative solution in a sport which, proportedly, encourages such things. Lotus, led by Colin Chapman, once again pushed the envelope and led the way. Who knows whether it would have worked effectively and competitively, but it some ways it marked the end of individualism in F1 design and ideas.

The ban has to be understood in the context of the F1 politics of the time, but even so it still is, to me at least, a watershed moment for the sport.

It seems F1 is gradually going further down this path. Think about the 60s & 70s and the range of shapes, sizes and different ideas on F1 cars, and now how uniformed F1 is comparatively.

Even in the last few years its continued with standardised parts and freeze of engine development.

Its supposed to be dropping the cost of F1, but new teams show they can afford to enter less now than 20 years ago.
