And let's not forget the scandals that have troubled most other sports as crime syndicates seek to influence the game.

Thank God, F1 isn't like Football, Horse Racing or some of the more dubious sports... I mean, it's not as if we are ever going to witness a race where a dead-cert winner was nobbled in the final furlong.

"I'm certainly not against the occasional bet. What I'm not over the moon about is the "normailisation" of gambling that we've seen in the past 10 years. Legislation seems to be way way behind the curve when it comes to these types of agreement.
I'd be more comfortable with the tobacco sponsorship coming back into the sport - at least they were honest about the health implications of their product!"
