At the 1958 Portugese Grand Prix,Mike Hawthorn slid off the track,he pushed his car back on the track and finished the race in a position to score 1 point.The stewards excluded him for pushing his car back on to the track but his great rival Stirling Moss (who won the race) argued with the stewards in favour of Hawthorn and they re-instated him in the results.
The 1958 world championship was won by Mike Hawthorn,he beat Stirling Moss by 1 point.Did Moss regret arguing in Hawthorns favour ? no,honour was a very important concept in those days,and if you didnt win fair and square it wasnt worth winning.
This was well before it stopped being a sport and became a global business,run by philistines and cigarette salesmen. :(
