Silverstone 1998 was basically an official mistake, but it was galling to see him take a win he didn't deserve.
Austria this year, we've all said enough about, sauffice to say that it was the worst moment in motorsport since Senna died. Maybe even worse.
Speaking of Senna, the third was Japan 1989, when Senna was immediately disqualified by the Alain Prost Supporters Club (the FIA) after the collision they had, so Nannini lucked into his one win.

I wonder how many more were there? Monza '56 perhaps?
I would say Senna's death in Imola '94 was far worse than Ferrari's cock-up in Austria '02. I'd rather see a fix than a death.
