Throughout F1 history, certain drivers have been controversial figures. From Schumacher’s aggressive tactics to Mazepin’s brief and troubled F1 career, let’s discuss who might be considered the most disliked or controversial driver in F1 history and why. Is it based on driving style, off-track behavior, or something else entirely?
For me it was Nikita Mazepin, clearly he was not good enough to race in F1, and such an arrogant jerk, but the funding from his father got him there. 0 career points. 22 spins, 21 races.
Not to mention off the track, Mazepin posted a video where he is sitting in the passenger seat of a car — reaches back and grabs a woman’s breast. The woman sticks up her middle finger at Mazepin before the video ends. Mazepin deleted the video from his Instagram page. Who posts that thinking that is a good idea, Mazepin does.
