History of Ferrari fuck ups and controversies (Including driver errors), in no chronological order. A thread.
Austria 2002: Controversial team order, that was so farcical, they got team orders as a whole banned until 2011
They also recieved a $1,000,000 fine for good measure

Monaco 2019 Qualifying: Not sending Charles Leclerc out for another lap in Q1, resulting in him starting 16th.
"Fernando is faster than you" resulted in the team being fined $100,000
Malaysia 2013: Kept Alonso out despite his front win quite literally hanging off the front of his car
Bahrain 2019:
Vettel half spun, flatspotting his tyres, the subsequent vibrations quite literally ended up shaking his front wing off
Also Leclerc& #39;s engine broke, costing the team a win

Baku 2018: Vettel went for an overly opportunistic divebomb for the lead into turn 1, flatspotted his tyres, and fell back to P4
Canada 2019: Say whatever you want about this one, it was Seb& #39;s fault and it cost him a win
Russia 2019: Poor handling of drivers, and bad strategy cost Ferrari a 1-2 finish
Also Seb& #39;s engine died.

Brazil 2019: Contact results in double DNF
The entire 1993 season: How the fuck does a top team such as Ferrari perform so poorly in a season, they score 1/6 of the leading constructors points?
Jerez 1997: "That didn& #39;t work Michael, you hit the wrong part of him my friend!"
Debatable as to whether Schumacher and Ferrari were really at fault for this one, but it& #39;s funny, so it& #39;s going on the thread
Most of Vettel& #39;s incidents in 2018: Not all of them were his fault to be fair, but there are too many that were, so I& #39;m using this one of him backwards to represent them
Vettel in Silverstone and Monza 2019: Less incidents than in 2018, so an improvement, but there were still a couple of incidents I believe were questionable
Leclerc& #39;s 2019 mishaps: It wasn& #39;t just Vettel who had a bad season, Leclerc& #39;s wasn& #39;t much better, despite some highlights
2014: This car. I don& #39;t need to say anymore
Hungary 2003: The car and driver that went on to win both championships ended up getting lapped by some Spanish bloke in his 2nd season, driving the 4th best car
Also Barrichello& #39;s suspension fucking died
Also Barrichello& #39;s suspension fucking died
2008 Silverstone, Hungary & Singapore: Massa spinning every lap in Silverstone, the car breaking down 6 laps from the end in Hungary, and a massive pitstop error that dropped Massa from 1st to last. Three major fuck ups that arguably cost Massa the drivers title. Poor Felipe
Australia 2002: Barrichello showing why moving under-braking is bad
Europe 1999: Pitstop error, poor driving and brake failure saw the team that went on to win the constructors title, score 0 points
Japan 1998: Stalled from pole, then punctured. The slim chance Michael had of winning the championship this season, gone.
Singapore 2017: To be honest, it& #39;s hard to say who was at fault for this incident, let alone if anyone was at fault. But it resulted in a double DNF on lap 1, so it& #39;s going here
Monaco 2006: Schumachers& #39; Rascasse antics result in him being sent to the back of the grid.
1992: Dropped the undisputed greatest F1 driver of all time, Ivan Capelli two rounds from the end of the season. Utterly disgraceful.
China 2010: Alonso jumps the start, and any chance he had of a race win, went before the lights even went out
Estoril 1993: Active suspension on Gerhard Bergher& #39;s car goes apeshit coming out of the pits, resulting in his car bottoming out, and getting launched across the main straight. This crash could& #39;ve been alot worse than it was
Russia 2015 "Last lap Kimi, last lap. All or nothing!"
Mexico 2015: A "rare" off day for Sebastian Vettel, according to the FORMULA 1 Youtube Channel
Multiple 2011 races: Hamilton and Massa getting bored during the races and playing bumper cars
(I& #39;ll be fair here, most of these were on Lewis, but it goes without saying that these incidents caused some controversy

Europe 2007: Contact between Alonso and Massa results in quite a funny argument between the two drivers
USA 2005: A farcical race, resulting in a farcical 1-2 finish for Ferrari, which gave them 3rd in the constructors, which would have gone to Toyota had they cancelled this race. Like they should& #39;ve done
Spa 2010: Alonso putting too much power down and yeeted himself into a wall, ending his race instantly. One could argue that this undoubtedly cost him the championship
Monaco 2013: Felipe Massa crashed in practice, preventing him from qualifying, and then crash in the exact same manner in the race.
Australia 2008: Massa launched David Coulthard& #39;s car into the air, and into instant retirement going into turn 1
Malaysia 2009: Pitted Kimi for wets way to early, which resulted in his race being ruined. At least he enjoyed an ice cream though
Monaco 2014: Kimi goes for an overtake in the Monaco hairpin, fucks it up and causes a pileup. God-dammit Kimi
Monza 2014: Alonso& #39;s engine decides to commit not work, and Kimi only manages 9th, meaning Ferrari scored a grand total of 2 points in front of the Tifosi. Amazing job guys!
Japan 2014: Similar to Monza, Alonso& #39;s engine packs in, only this time, Kimi was unable to score any points at all, only managing 12th.
Portugal 1989: Mansell gets disqualified for reversing in the pits. He decides to ignore the black flags, and then ended up taking himself and Senna out of the race
Abu Dhabi 2010: Ferrari strategy unsurprisingly backfires, and results in Alonso losing the title to Vettel. Alonso being a manchild, decides to blame Petrov, as he was stuck behind him pretty much all race
