Prost, Ferrari 1991. I think the specific quote is something about a truck being easier to drive than the 643. Whatever it was, the relationship went south very quickly and he was fired before the end of the season. Firing a top-level world champion driver mid season hasn't happened since the mid/early 90s, unless I'm mistaken, so that's a pretty big deal.

I've heard enough tales about Kimi Raikkonen (and even some about Rubens Barrichello, suprisingly....) that go beyond 'shenanigans' and that are just plain disappointing.

Oooh I can't believe that driver did that thing when he did it, it was shocking. Anyway goodbye.

 

 

Not gonna be a great thread if people don't actually spill what the drivers have actually done and just expect us to guess or know every quote and incident by every driver involved in F1 over 50 years.  For god sake spill folks come on!

2012 at Yas Marina. While being interview on the podium by Coolturd, Raikkonen said "s--t", and Vettel dropped the "F" bomb.

 

All this horror makes such things as this insignificant (sarcasm intended)

Worst antics? Pironi at Imola, Senna where to begin?, Schumacher and Hill/Villeneuve.

Worst quotes, "Mansell won't win a race as long as I have a hole in my arse" Lotus Principal Peter Warr.

Ya but it's Eddie Irvine so Senna should've punched him harder.

I still remember as i watched in horror while he tried to destroy Vettel's race at Abu Dhabi in 2012, nevermind that he was destroying his own as well. Yet he sobbed at Sepang next year, so much for git, i mean grit.

 

Vettel's "i did not hear the team order," when he should have gone, "revenge bi@tch!" Turkey 2010 was a bit weird.

Raikkonen, he was playing with his gearstick in a nightclub and finished off on the sidewalk/ footpath outside. He didn't let the fact that he was tossed out of the club slow him down any.  :rotfl:  :up:

DC overtaking Schumacher at Magny-Cours, while making the bird fly. Although, it is not bad, but still had to mention this. However, while we're on DC, "next year" comes to mind.

Alonso in 2006 around Monza, about how Benetton-Renault didn't want him to win. Alonso on Vettel and Newey, and yes, i found it very much cringeworthy.

Woebens was at times, just too much to take.

 

The reigning champion has also provided quite some material.

At Zolder in 1981, didn't Piquet pretend to lose his balance in front of Reutemann's WIlliams the day after the Argentine fatally struck a mechanic in the pitlane?

Pretty much. Piquet could fill a thread on his own I think, and almost all the stories would be more interesting than most of the stuff on here so far. Hamilton spraying a girl with champagne??! FFS. Buy a book about Hunt or Ireland or Hawthorn etc etc. They knew how to do "antics".
