politics

Double F1 World Champion Fernando Alonso has contended that 2009 has been the worst season in years for the sport and 'maybe the worst in history' - as he expressed his exasperation with the ongoing FIA/FOTA dispute and expensive regulation blunders.

Former Formula 1 World Champion Jody Scheckter has bemoaned the 'disappointing' politics threatening to take over the sport in recent years - claiming that the situation has become so bad he has at times considered giving back his hard-fought title.
