sounds like montoya, doesnt it?
the thing with those drivers is that their temperament gives them many headaches and has a detrimental effect on them. yet it is also source of some aggression that makes them do things on the track other drivers cant, e.g. maldonado overtaking bottas in japan on the lat corner is the same schumacher did to barrichello at monaco in 2005, or what hill did to viileneuve at the very same vconrer in 1998.
Although someonepointed out that it is unheard that a team sabbotage their dirver, i cant agreee with that, sorry! Here are several examples:
1. honda admitted they favored senna and prost said that his engine was not always specified as he had demanded.
2. alonso, from what i have read over the years, also got sabottaged in mclaren (remember: "we are not racing raikkonen, we are racing alonso"
.
3. furthermore, there are still discussions about whether irvine was sabottaged in suzuka 1999 (irvine himself said, "in 2000 i was .9 tenths behind michael while driving a jaguar! one year before i was 2 secs. behind in the same car"
.
4. And how about renault sabotaging nelsninho piquet?
5. and red bull taking the fron wing off webber's car to put it on vettel's. it is as clear sabotage as you can get in racing.
6. massa was hampered million times by ferrari throughout 2011 and 2012. they made him stay on track as long as possible to slow the cars on fresh tyres, so that alonso can catch up. everyone though, knew that would hamper massa's race
