The ultimate “I’m not touching you” moment

The 1997 season finale at Jerez remains one of the most polarizing moments in Formula 1 history, where the championship was decided by a single, desperate collision.

As Jacques Villeneuve attempted a clean overtake for the lead, Michael Schumacher steered his Ferrari directly into the side of the Williams in a clear attempt to knock his rival out of the race.

The plan backfired spectacularly: Schumacher ended up stuck in the gravel trap while Villeneuve limped home to claim the world title.

The FIA took the unprecedented step of stripping Schumacher of his entire second-place standing in the 1997 championship as a formal condemnation of his driving.

If Schumacher had successfully disabled Villeneuve’s car without getting stuck himself, do you think the stewards would have been bold enough to take the title away from him?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
