AndreaModagate would be fitting. They wasted everybody time and appear only once (Monaco 92) before persistent DNPQs and other time-wasting events, subsequently being disqualified and banned for disrepute.

Also, when the Larrousse team mislead FIA about chassis being made by themsleves (actually made by Lola), I can describe it as Chassis-Liegate.

This whole thread reminds me of Mitchell and Webb!

In Monaco. Klien crashed, the diamond became dislodged and was never seen again...

Senna was the one who hit the dog. He wasn't very pleased about it afterwards.

Don't forget "Podium-gate"; the "podium debacle" at that race.

And "Orders-gate", for the McLaren team orders at the finish line.
