Formula-1 is considered one of the most dangerous, risky, and aggressive sports. As the legendary Brazilian Ayrton Senna stated, ‘‘there are no small accidents on this circuit’’. It is a sport which by itself lies on the edge of continuous physical and mental human limits. Besides, it is (one of) the most expensive and globally commercialised human activities. With this
in mind, it is relevant to ascertain how marginal practices, resembling manipulation of sports competitions anifest themselves in that sport, and how the winningat- all-cost strategy reveals itself. Accordingly, it is important to analyse how certain (usually commercially oriented) manipulative practices occur and, second, what should be done to identify such practices. Besides axiological issues, certain legal ambiguities are analysed in this article.
