Number 1...most likely Spygate 2007. McLaren forking over massive $100 million fine and being excluded from championship.
Lewis joined McLaren in 2007.

Funny how times goes on doesn’t it, that was a big witch hunt by Max Mosely who hated Ron. Also one of the reasons many including me can’t stand Alonso as he didn’t like getting beaten by Lewis and threatened to rat on the to the FIA to try and get preference. Ron didn’t even know this had gone on and when he did he called it out himself as he didn’t want Alonso having it over him.
But Renault I think it was did the same and it effectively got ignored, the contrast was with both punishment was as stark as it gets.
