## Resource

In a wild twist of F1 history, the sport was once under suspicion by British customs and Scotland Yard—codenamed Operation Equipment—after a driver’s wife claimed to have seen cocaine being loaded onto F1 team containers in Rio de Janeiro. Though the investigation considered planting an undercover cop and even searched Silverstone, no evidence was ever found. Bernie Ecclestone, alerted in 1997, denied any knowledge and pledged full cooperation. The whole saga, likely dating back to 1989, fizzled out—leaving fans wondering if F1’s glamour ever hid a darker underbelly.
