Racing is never shy of controversy, with personalities, and sometimes even the cars themselves clashing spectacularly.
And while most are forgotten and some forgiven before the season ends, there are a few that stick in our minds as the most controversial moments the sport has ever seen. I say a few, but the list is in fact substantial…
But for your viewing pleasure, we have narrowed it down to six of the most unforgettable, and unforgiveable, moments in F1 history. From the 2007 McLaren vs. Ferrari Spygate incident, to the Villeneuve vs. Pironi fallout at the 1982 San Marino GP, you’ll be left wondering ‘did that actually happen?!’
So take ten, watch on, and tell us if there are any moments that we have missed…
