The Biggest Cheating Scandal in Formula 1 History

That copy shop clerk Should have been given lifetime paddock passes For every Grand Prix from Ferrari.

Max Mosley said later that the fine was given because " 10 percent of it was because they cheated and 90 percent was because Ron Dennis is a dick".

The ferrari fan was a menace and a diehard fan the he e mailed Stefan about the incidient😂😂😂😂😂😂

I heard this story 20 times and never knew Stepney took his own life - RIP 😞

It’s crazy how some many people have heard the scandal story but not about stepney’s death. It does seem like f1 and Ferrari worked hard to keep his name away from the sport.

with the cash he probably got for the document..he could have just bought a photocopier and copy the damn thing himself.. what an idiot

seen so many videos on this topic, but this is definitely the most concise, entertaining way i’ve heard it told. keep it up!!!

Mclaren werent fined for having data, a common misconception. When they were found to have had ferrari data, no fine was brought. They were fined for lying to the fia, after alonso proved they did use the data after mclaren told the fia they had not

That scandal had indirectly led to another - Crashgate.

Thanks for all of these f1 videos

Thank you for making such great F1 content. This was the best video on this topic that I’ve seen and it is so refreshing to see an F1 channel that isn’t a rumor mill. It seems all other F1 channels and media are purely drama-driven and clickbait these days.

You know the car is rare when a Bugatti Chiron is just sitting in the background getting absolutely no attention.

Thanks for all of these videos on f1

Well done! Thanks for this.🙏

... Love it. Such a great recap. This story had me gripped back in 07

Thanks for this excellent video. Top level reporting.

Great stuff always wanted to see the whole story 👍👍

Great video! Keep up the good work mate.

I didn't know Stepney took his own life. Very sad indeed. But the fine imposed by Mosely (a very nasty piece of work and that was being polite about it) was absurd and totally disproportionate. I don't think Ron Dennis is any angel but I don't believe for a second he would have knowingly condoned what went on between Stepney and Coughlan (who was equally guilty) had he known before Alonso brought it out. Nobody came out of this smelling of roses, but Ron did NOT deserve the public vendetta orchestrated by Mosely.

It was not many decades before this fiasco that teams knew virtually everything about each others cars. One engine manufacturer could get their hands on anotfhers offering and test it on their own dyno to see what was what and not what was claimed. It was a lot cheaper to run a car back then.
