When Formula 1 Teams Get Caught CHEATING
Рет қаралды 1,752,828
Күн бұрынFormula 1 has a BRILLIANT history of cheating. Sometimes teams and drivers only JUST push the limits. Other times, entire plans are orchestrated and executed to perfection like something out of a heist movie.
Drivers have literally cut corners to snatch pole, crashed into each other to win championships and even risked massive explosions to score points.
So we’re going to go over some of the most genius cheats that you probably haven’t heard of. Let’s go!

Michael Schumacher, back in his Ferrari days, found himself in a tough spot at Monaco. He was one and a half race wins worth of points behind Fernando Alonso.
He NEEDED to win the Monaco Grand Prix to equal Ayrton Senna’s record of six wins in Monaco and give himself a shot at his eighth world title. On a track where it’s almost impossible to overtake, Ferrari were DESPERATE for pole position.
After setting the fastest time in Q3, he bizarrely “LOST CONTROL” of his car at 10 miles an hour at the Rascasse corner. Meanwhile, Fernando was on his hot lap, and two-tenths of a second up on Michael.
Schumy had clumsily “parked” across the track and triggered a yellow flag, forcing Alonso to abandon his lap.
Nearly every other driver on the grid called out Schumy on his “dirty tactics”. The FIA agreed with them; they denied him pole position and he was made to start from the Pit Lane.
Well, that backfired.
He drove an EPIC race on Sunday to finish 5th, while Alonso cruised to a comfortable victory and went on to claim the championship that year.
But while Fernando Alonso nearly got a rough deal in this incident, he was no stranger to benefitting from controversy.

Freezing fuel, flexible front wings and hidden fuel-tanks - F1 engineers always find a clever way to push the limits of the rules.
Sometimes they get so close to the limit that it could be considered cheating, however, more often than not - they find an ingenious solution to forge new limits for their designs.

My favourite cheat was the 81 Brabham. F1 had introduced a minimum height check. Gordon Murray reasoned that this could only happen in the pits so he developed a suspension system that crushed down under aero load and stayed compressed until a slow down lap returning the car to the legal height. Then he stuck a box (maybe a flask) with wires coming out. All the teams wondered how he was getting pace and what the box was all about. A “cheat” and a distraction.

So, they programmed the fuel pump to know when the sensor wasn't looking (and it looked a lot - 2,200 times per second) and then ensured the engine could take a 'gulp' as you put it, at that precise moment!

They exploited what I consider to be a loophole: They used new engine components for the last few races which allowed them to turn up the engine to a more powerful setting, but it would not last many races like that. They took an engine penalty for using the extra components. It was all within the rules. If you think the penalty was too lenient & the rules for new engine components need to be harsher, then I agree with you.

Mercedes were still faster as a whole the rest of the season but only edging out Redbull by a very small margin. Brazil's new engine was when that jump to >1% happened. I'm taking these numbers from ChainBear I think... Not sure. Don't remember where I saw it.

Well, to be fair, toluene was the go-to fuel of the F1-cars in the 1980's. I mean literally everyone with a turbo used it, 86% toluene and 14% filler to lower octane rating to FIA requirements. So it was just FIA approved fuel without the filler. And the toxicity? Yes it it harmfull and poisonous, also causes sensation of 'high' when sniffed from glues or paint thinners... If get my meaning. The fact that it COULD be used as a rocket fuel, does not make it ONLY a rocket fuel. Or, did you know that women blond their hairs using 3% mix of currently used rocket fuel? It's toxic, irritant, corrosive and still in wide use today.

Like, what more does Lewis have to do for you guys to acknowledge his talent? Are 7 world championships, 103 wins, 103 poles and all his amazing drives throughout his career not enough? Obviously having the best car that weekend helped Lewis, but ask yourself this. If Valtteri was given a cumulative 25 place grid penalty, do you really think he would be P1 in the race with, like, 10 laps to spare? I'm sorry there's no way he'd pull that off. That's the Lewis Hamilton effect, and only drivers like him and Max can do things like that.

Ferrari got off so lucky with their 2019 exploits. what they did is akin to what Toyota did with the restrictor plate in WRC in the 90s. and the fact that they possibly developed the 2014 engines with this trick in mind means they were in jeopardy of loosing all previous race results from when that was implemented, thats such a gamble. but also its amazing how such a 'basic' exploit haddent been thought of much sooner, older fuel slow sensors must have had a far lower refresh rate.

FIA actually had a problem, if Red Bull waited for a race and issued a complain, Ferrari car would be impounded, and an investigation would happen, but because Ferrari backed out after the directives, there was no way FIA could prove wrong doing, and saying you were faster was not enough, the only way to prove it was if Ferrari told them, and that is what happened, the deal was made secret to protect their brand, but also the FIA, because it is rumoured that there were penalties, that were the culprits of Ferrari awful 2020 season. Also the FIA got help from Ferrari in policing these engines in the future, the FIA needs the teams because Unfortunately these engines are far too complex, and the regulator cant just guess, they don't have the facilities teams have.

I'm not sure the Ferrari engine fuel sensor should be classed as a cheat. It may not have complied with the spirit of the regs, but it did on paper comply with the fia's then ability to measure it. The documentary, gentleman lift your skirts, from the early 80's explained the situation really well just after sliding skirts and minimum ground clearance rules were introduced. The other half of what's allowed by the rules, is what can be measured, static measurements often don't match up with dynamic loadings, they only indicate what could happen. As an engineer I love interpreting the rules and playing with the properties of what can or can't be measured.
@gibospartan6185 2 жыл бұрын
The rules mandated that the fuel flow couldn’t exceed a certain rate at any time. Ferrari were able to exceed this rate without it being detected by the FIA. While the FIA couldn’t detect it, having higher fuel flow was forbidden so it was illegal.

It's like saying it's legal for someone to drive their car at whatever speed they like, as long as they don't get caught by a speed camera. It's still illegal. Exceding the fuel flow limit was explicitely forbidden meaning the solution was illegal but they evaded the law so to speak. It's the engineering equivalent of organised crime. They knew what they were doing was illegal but they made sure they did it when the law wasn't looking. It was smart, but still illegal.

I'm surprised to see the Benetton fuel rig issue in here. FIA (through one of it's officials) approved the removal of the filter , even giving instructions on how it should be removed. The particle that caused the fuel rig to jamb was much smaller that what would have been screened by the relatively coarse mesh in question. If I recall correctly other teams asked for and were given permission to remove this filter as well though I don't recall if they ended up removing it for the race. To me it seems that the FIA was looking for a scapegoat and the filter removal was an easy target when in reality it was likely unrelated.

Schumacher had some dodgy incidents, definitely. Jerez in ‘97, the Monoco car park situation, but the ‘94 situations are definitely presented with a British perspective. Scott fails to mention here that the evidence showed that Benetton did not use traction control and thus they were not punished. Other teams that had traction control had the same software as the year before but the tc was not able to be used.Michael just out drove Hill in the superior Williams even with the significant horsepower deficit the Ford Z-tec-R V8 had to the incredible Renault V10. And the fuel filler incident was a modification approved by the manufacturer and that other teams were doing the same thing. I’m a little tired of people suggesting that Michael won in ‘94 by cheating when this year shows just how good Michael was at his best. Definitely a season worth watching again, even with the terrible events of the San Marino GP.
