so is there any case of a F1 driver being reported of sexual harrasment?

Luizzi of RedBull has said that he has had much more sex after joining F1. ( Inside Grand Prix prgramme) :p

James Hunt's exploits could probably fill their own thread.

John Riseley-Pritchard...emigrated to Thailand. :mad:

There was a story about James Hunt DNQing for a Formula 2 race in 1973ish - Autosport reported that the last anyone saw of him was vanishing into a hotel room with Miss Pau Grand Prix...

In the old days there were no scandals, merely expected behaviour. But Achille Varzi's career was inadvertently destroyed by his affair with Ilse (Mrs Paul) Pietsch. And Rudi Caracciola stole Louis Chiron's wife. And "Williams" married the mistress of his employer William Orpen.

I remember reading something about that also. He, Button and Villeneuve have all been accused of that at certain points in time. Irvine did anything and everything it seems, probably still is now!

Ayrton Senna had his fair share of beautiful woman throw themselves at him, I remember reading a comment by one of his former lovers......

'If that man is gay, I want a gay man in my bed every night.......'

in reference to Piquet's accusations!

I think that is stretching it a little. I think she had a few dates with HHF many years ago - I don't think any stealing was involved.

Do Kimi's recent nightclub affairs count?


Piquet's accident at Indy was also revealing.
Being hopitalized in serious condition in '92, the call was made for the woman who partnered Mr. Piquet and three beautiful women showed up at the desk, none of them knowing about the other.

Clay Reggazoni was another who didn't mind an adventure here and there.

I suppose technically most of the above are not suffering from a sex scandal, most of them enjoyed it.

Don't know about that Prost rumour, but he did have an affair with Bernadette Laffitte, wife of Jacques. Since Jacques was supposedly his best friend and golfing buddy at the time, that probably made for an interesting series of exchanges at the 19th hole...

I don't wish to be offensive, but was Bernadette very short sighted?

Ralf turned down Jordan (Katie Price - not the team) hence fueling the gay rumours...

Sensible more like.

Tomas Scheckter btw, and its probably more likely the Prostitute was having oral sex with him I guess ;)

Here's part of your answer...

Originally posted by Racer Joe

It was Mrs L. The TM in question had returned to his room as he'd forgotten his briefcase, IIRC... That was Zandvoort 1983, and is the real explanation for why he was fired just a couple of days after the season's end...

Stefan Johansson bolloxed his start in Monaco 1985 largely because he'd been in the company of Princess Stephanie - mainly due to his need for Monogasque citizenship - the entire night prior. And as a result, had got no sleep at all... "Yeah, but ****; I had no choice!" was the comment I had passed back to me via his ex-F2 team mate...

A few years earlier in 1981, Stefan was sponsored by a (soft?) porn magazine in, by the name of Lektyr, who tried really hard to get him to pose naked with his then-fianceé Christine. He always refused, and I'm buggered if I can remember which driver he said had done it beforehand. However, I do think it may well have been Mr Wisell...

IIRC, Elio de Angelis took his then-girlfriend Sylvia (spl?) to the Soth American races circa 1980, and she duly returned with... Nelson Piquet! She is Nelson Jnr's mum, I believe.

And there was also a well-known episode involving the Toleman TM and a UK Sunday tabloid, but it's maybe best not to go there...

PS stephanie was born in february 1985. That puts her at 17 with piquet? I think the Johanson story is probably the one he was thinking of.

Does that also provide an explanation for Prost's misjudgment at that race in taking out Piquet and himself?

GP de Mônaco, 1981, sábado pela manhã. Na pista, os carros já rodavam no treino não-oficial (aquele antes da tomada de tempos para o grid). De repente, um corre-corre no boxe da Brabham:
- Mas onde está ele? Afinal, onde ele se meteu?

Aos berros, o todo poderoso Bernie Ecclestone (então dono da escuderia) perguntava por Nelson Piquet. E nem sombra do piloto nos boxes...

Alguém se lembrou, enfim, de telefonar para o hotel. O telefone tocou uma, duas, três vezes; somente na quarta uma voz resfolegante o atendeu:

- Alô, Nelson, o que houve? O treino já começou! - alerta, preocupado, Gordon Murray, o engenheiro da equipe.

- Sabe o que é? - começou a explicar Piquet.

- O que é o quê? - interrompeu, enfurecido, o próprio Ecclestone, tomando o aparelho das mãos de Murray.

- A princesa, Bernie. É a princesa... Você não quer que eu a deixe na mão, né?

Ainda que contrariado, Bernie não quiz. E no treino da tarde, agradecido, Piquet cravou a pole-position, quase um segundo a frente da Ferrari de Gilles Villeneuve.
Para orgulho de Ecclestone e da princesinha, que, sonolenta, no quarto de hotel, entre perfumadíssimos lençois de seda, aguardava o nosso ás para mais uma flying lap...

At one of the Indy F1 races (a few years ago), after the race waiting for drivers to make their way to the podium, they showed MS's wife on the jumbotron and the announcer said something like "There is HHF's wife...."

Call it karma for that weekend perhaps, as it handed his arch-enemy Arnoux the victory......

But classic Prost opportunism (planning? :D ) in that it worked out for the best for him....getting canned from Renault led him to McLaren, from a team on the way out to one just starting a dominant era.....

Gerry Donaldson's bio on Hunt is hilarious, couple stories from that book are how he got his pit crew to distract a girls boyfriend at Mosport and took her into the track ambulance for some intensive care. Another was that a vibrator that he'd somehow rendered inoperable due to extensive use, he took it to the mechanics to try get them to repair it. Clearly he was a character.
