What are some Ignominious moments in F1 History. If you're struggling i'll give some examples
Jacques Villeneuve Europe 2003: In 1997 he took his last F1 Win at the Nurburgring. Fast Foward to 2003 and he was battling the Minardi's for 18th place. Summed up his time at BAR.
Ferrari Italy 2005: As Jamie and Enoch said in their review of this race the 10th and 12th place result was symbolic of Ferrari's fall from grace that season. Michael started his last lap while Montoya was taking the win and Barrichello was lapped continuing a pointless run he was enduring. It was a far cry from the title winning parties of 02 and 04.
Are there any others?

The 2004 Hungarian Grand Prix. Michelin went from hero to zero in one full year..

He's got it all wrong. When I see Ericsson and Chilton's hairdos, the only signal going to my brain is 1049.

Michele Alboreto: Was runner-up in the championship in 1985 with Ferrari with 2 wins, and 6 podiums. By 1991, he was a back-of-the-grid no-hoper at Footwork. Failing to qualify 7 times, and only finished twice in the whole season. With a best result of 13th. 1993 was also pretty bad for him. Outclassed by Luca Badoer, DNQing 5 times, and finishing no higher than 11th.

The whole 2000 season for Prost. Horrible car, desperated drivers, angry personnel and all the melodrama sorrounding the team.

The entirety of the Singapore 2008 imbroglio, from start to finish. The entire affair represented human avarice and amorality at its apogee, and at the height of the crisis, very nearly destroyed whatever semblance of integrity the FIA had remaining. I recall being so disgusted by the whole episode at the time that I felt sorely tempted to turn my back on F1 altogether.

Almost exactly sums up USA 2005 too...
