...couldn't have come at a worse time for the sport. In the wake of a threatened walkout by teams fuming at new cost-cutting rules, public squabbling over Formula One's leadership and an episode of spying, the latest revelation could tar the image of motor sport's blue-ribbon event irreparably. The collision by Renault's Nelson Piquet Jr. during the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix - enabling his teammate to snatch an unlikely victory - endangered the driver, his rivals, race marshals and even the spectators.

Anyway, McDonagh is a good lieutenant: during Hurricane Katrina, he dove into the floodwaters to save a drowning prisoner; and for his efforts got severe back pains and an addiction to prescription drugs.
