Worst F1 Driver

Who In your mind is the worst F1 driver ever?

I'm up for some Jean Denis Delatraz

He was dire

TGF????
only joking {no i'm not}

**ghinzani** · 28 Apr 2002, 11:08 (Ref:272240)

yeah Jean Denis in the modern era, but there were some real turkeys in the 50's and 60's as well

f1manoz · 28 Apr 2002, 11:41 (Ref:272258)

Deletraz certainly takes the cake. Paul Belmondo wasn't particularly good either.

Lee Janotta · 28 Apr 2002, 13:11 (Ref:272301)

Deletraz still stands head and shoulders above the others. A pay driver who never paid, criticized in all corners, and dismally slow in everything he's ever driven!

BootsOntheSide · 28 Apr 2002, 16:02 (Ref:272517)

Yeah the F1 rejects profile of Deletraz is one of the funniest things on the web (I know I keep bigging up this iste, but it really is fantastic)

"And what IS Deletraz doing?"

Or Ricardo Rosset- I loved that wisecrack Brundle make, when Murray said that a lot of people were debating whether Ricardo belongs in F1, and Brundle noted that it was a short debate.

Mygale · 28 Apr 2002, 16:08 (Ref:272524)

What about Perry McCarthy ? He had a couple of bad attempts at F1 in 1992 didnt he .

steve nielsen · 28 Apr 2002, 16:20 (Ref:272530)

don't forget Taki Inoe and Giovanni Lavaggi.

Um Michael Andretti springs to my mind as a bad F1 driver......

El_Gibleto · 29 Apr 2002, 06:35 (Ref:272948)

Several Dutch drivers come to mind Haje, Blekemolen and ?????????

The classic one!

Yoong Montoya · 29 Apr 2002, 19:11 (Ref:273536)

What about Andrea de Cesaris? The amount of mistakes and crashes he made in his career was unbelievable. Just like Takuma Sato really. Or should that be Sato de Crasheris?

nameless · 29 Apr 2002, 19:22 (Ref:273550)

i think its a bit harsh having a go at perry mccarthy, he was driving an andrea moda, michael andretti on the other hand was nothing short of shocking, surely gaston has to be considered, as does tarso marques

OVERSTEER · 29 Apr 2002, 19:31 (Ref:273558)

ALEX YOONG!!!!

Speedworx · 29 Apr 2002, 19:31 (Ref:273560)

Deletraz
Marques
Lavaggi
Moreno
Mazzacane
Diniz
Salo
Inoue
Noda

Speedworx · 29 Apr 2002, 19:33 (Ref:273561)

There is nothing wrong with Alex Yoong.

OVERSTEER · 29 Apr 2002, 19:54 (Ref:273578)

I wonder how long it'll take for Sato to be added to that site

Yoong
Mazzacane
Rosset
Belmondo
Micheal Andretti
Amati (But she is quite cute

Atrocious luck and one Podium doesn't strike me as bad-disappointing, maybe, but not in league with Taki Inoue, Delatraz or Ricky von Opel.

EERO · 29 Apr 2002, 20:03 (Ref:273593)

And as for Diniz, he was no Fangio, but he fared pretty well against his teamates, Salo and Hill.

Speedworx · 29 Apr 2002, 20:05 (Ref:273597)

Rosset was never given a chance by teams

Yoong is a decent driver and only missed Imola cos of the stupid officials, NOT cos he was too slow.

OVERSTEER · 29 Apr 2002, 20:08 (Ref:273605)

Rosset and Yoong=mobile chicane

Lee Janotta · 29 Apr 2002, 20:09 (Ref:273608)

Indeed, McCarthy's performance can be blamed entirely on that unforgivable excuse for a team that was Andrea Moda. Perry's a really nice, but woefully unlucky guy who has managed to drive with distinction in GT and sports cars.

Michael Andretti _did_ have an honest points-scoring finish, though!

De Cesaris scored significant points, had a pole, and a fast lap.

Andrea Chiesa would be on my list right behind Deletraz. He had no excuses for not making the grid in 7 of his 10 entries in the at least adequate '92 Fondmetal. Never finished any of the 3 races he did qualify for. Hasn't done anything remotely impressive outside of karts since he left F1.

Speedworx · 29 Apr 2002, 20:12 (Ref:273614)

Michael Andretti wasn't that bad. He was killed by the Senna dominated McLaren team.
