"Martin, you're a cynical chap!" Bloody right though. I still don't see what this has to do with the FIA though, as mentioned n the description.

I think that guy Fontana, many years later, told a newspaper that he had been threatened by Ferrari (Jean Todt) about not letting Villeneuve go past him, helping Shumacher, but anyway, Villeneuve won the championship.

I remember watching this live, it was a tense moment in the race with Villeneuve catching Schumacher. The commentary from Walker and Brundle was hilarious, with Brundle catching Walker out when he could not remember, when asked, that the Sauber had a Ferrari engine. What followed then was Walker trying desperately not to laugh, it really broke the tension. RIP Murray.

Qué grande Fontana!

Who’s here in 2022

at 1:05: Murray Walker: "A case of champagne from Ferrari to Sauber for Norberto Fontana. Because the Argentinian newcomer, up from Formula Three, really, really, helped Michael Schumacher on his way there" Martin Brundle: "What engines have they got in that Sauber, Murray? Isn't it a Ferrari?" Murray Walker: "Well it is, yes. Martin, you are a cynical chap"

right on. *thumbs up*

0:05 Vershtappen :D

From what I've heard it's virtually a done deal... Brundle and Jonathan Legard in the commentary box for 2009.

GRANDE FONTANA UN CRACK

Esto muestra cómo NORBERTO ayudó a Ferrari en 1997, después de descalificar a JV en el GP de Japón, ahora era el momento de enviar a Fontana a bloquear JV para darle al piloto de Ferrari el campeonato en la última carrera.

Yep Italy 2003. When Montoya had a real good chance of taking that years championship

Sounds great. Brundle has proved almost as vital as Murray Walker, a tremendous and bold commentator. I have not warmed to James Allen at all, and I believe many think the same. Since 2001 we've been listening and he just gets on my nerves... Calling his son Enzo didn't help!

maFIA strikes again!

nobady remembers fontana because of this kind of things

I remember that... How obvious! The Ferrari engine-supplied Sauber! C'mon! Very unfortunate but it happened. Todt had dropped by the Sauber motorhome to ask this of their drivers. Had it been Morbidelli instead(as Fontana was only a sub on 4 races including this one), Jean Todt would have still gone into that motorhome and asked for the same favor. No doubt about that here!

well, the dude sort of doesn't make it easy for JV, but it's a twisty part of the track...

Yes - if Martin doesn't make it onto the BBC team for '09 I think there could well be rioting.

Fontana is admited 2006

dont blame fontana, todt went to the sauber box before the race and order that to both sauber drivers, fontana now tells that todt never said thanks to him. he is not proud about that but orders are orders.

The last race where F1 cars looked like F1 cars...

I don´t think this is an order from FIA... but maybe an orden to the Sauber Team, If I don´t remember bad back them they used Ferrari parts for the engine. And about block, not forget the one from Coulthart in Spa... FIA makes unfair decision to both sides, to make more entretaining the chmapionships

Bien Fontana tenia motor Ferrari.

its such a crying shame about schumacher, most talented driver since 1995 no question, but it does help that none of the old skool dog fighters exist in formula one anymore, if u get close to anyone they call it dangerous driving etc schumacher and ferrari are cheats so they go hand in hand but i do admire ferrari for running a 1 man team and their single mindedness of wanting to win

Williams le rompio la cola a ferrari... a pesar de que estaba todo preparado para que gane schumacher jaja

He is that good... Which is a shame that he had used such bad tactics in his career. I do believe though that benetton cheated in '94 with driver aids....

Bloody obvious!!!

I watched F1 since 1990, and I won't miss Schumacher.

I know. I was being sarcastic to see if anyone noticed. You're the first, give you a prize.. Anyway, I personally seem to be the only one on this page who doesn't think there is a massive anti-Mac conspiracy. I'm sure I will get flamed for this view, but I don't think a few undeniable irregularities make a full conspiracy. I would also say that McLaren drivers seem more frequently to push the limits, so are therefore more likely to be punished. There are my two cents. Flaming commence.. :D

Typical Ferrari bias. It's been going on for years mate. The maFIA

Schumy, as always the cheater

im an argentinean, but this actitudde of fontana is horrible, its a really stupid decision. go jacques!

this is why i like schumi&ferrari. they do whatever needds to win. Forza Tifosi

Ferrari had to be disqualified for these orders from Todt. Jean Todt is coward!

Well, that and Ferrari drivers ramming McLaren drivers. And Toro Rosso drivers, and Toro Rosso drivers getting the blame. Hang on, that elevated Massa to 7th, didn't it? Everyone in F1 with sanity knew that, if a penalty had to be dealt, it should have been for Massa again. Ridiculous! The "stewards" have decided this years title - Hamilton and Massa deserve it, but it is tarnished. Should Massa win by a point or two we will look back to Spa, Fuji, Magny Cours....

Ha Murray Walker's comment, Martin Brundle you are a cynical chap.

Yes the whole thing is a massive conspiracy. That's definately why McLaren are losing.

How did Hamilton get a penalty for the start at Fuji. Dat is a joke. Massa rams into 2 cars and gets points. The Ferrari Intervention Authority are a disgrace

I also noticed McLaren are sort of "winning", even despite Ferrari drivers shoving Lewis off the road, and shoving Toro Rosso drivers off the road, and driving out from the pitlane into the path of Adrian Sutil with the fuel rig still attached. Also, I noticed at Silverstone that Massa spun five times in the rain. Lewis won by over and minute, didn't he? Yes! He did, come to think of it! Or like when Raikkonen crashed into Sutil at Monaco and didn't receive so much as an investigation.

So stupid by Todt

Fontana in crap really....he said that ferrari told sauber to block JV but Peter Sauber is sportsmen and I think this was fully from Fontanas stupid mind..... "Oh Martin you cynic..." :-D

Oh dear..... I seem to remember Raikkonen being a bit erratic (read dangerous) in those closing laps at Spa. Stuffed it into the wall I seem to remember. Lewis got a penalty, didn't, he? For what? He was so obviously faster than Kimi..... will we ever have any decent Stewards. "Stewards", read "fuckwits". They're making the sport look like a fucking farce. I have watched F1 for 20 years and this icident is more embarrassing than the steward's cock-up at Silverstone '98!

bem ao estilo dick vigarista

I hate the MaFIA

FU ferrari

Schumacher is the best in the world... Nice vid though!

that's why schumi has 7 titles... cheating with other drivers to his adwantage

its such a crying shame about schumacher, most talented driver since 1995 no question, but it does help that none of the old skool dog fighters exist in formula one anymore, if u get close to anyone they call it dangerous driving etc schumacher and ferrari are cheats so they go hand in hand but i do admire ferrari for running a 1 man team and their single mindedness of wanting to win
