Watching F1 as a kid Murray would often talk about the Cardinal Sin – team mates crashing into each other or taking out the teams other car and how it was the worst thing that could happen (naturally this fascinated me even though I didn't know what Cardinal meant...)
I imagine there would be less of this in the sport than other incidents (for obvious reasons) I was wondering – when it did occur what were the consequences in the team and indeed between individuals? Did drivers lose their seat, damage their prospects or become enemies or was it patched up as just ‘motor racing’? (I don’t want to talk about Senna-Prost – that has been done to death and I have no interest in it)
To illustrate my question I believe there were two incidents in 1993
The Saubers of Lehto and Wendlinger collided at Monaco – which I believe caused serious problems for Lehto in the team and seriously damaged his relationship with them.
Zanardi and Herbert also hit each other but they both got on so well and there was no internal issues at Lotus over it.
So were there many ‘notable’ instances and how did the aftermath play out?
