- No F1 team signs a bad driver on purpose. But sometimes a variety of factors get in the way and deals that were signed with high expectations fail to work out. For this video we've gone back through the history of each of the 10 teams on the current F1 grid - tracing some back through various previous guises - to work out who has been their worst driver of all time. Let us know who we missed!

"He's going to be around for a while" - To Nikita Mazepin.. Yea that isn't aging well.
He’s gone now
@@SMNRacer that's the point.
I don't know what I was thinking when commenting that lol
Aged like fine milk
Wonder how well the car has gone since he left........never mind
Are you telling me Ricardo Rosset’s stint at Tyrell was better than Zonta’s at BAR?
Rosset was certainly the worst F1 driver in my memory (I started watching in 1996). Just look at the first lap crash in Spa '98 :D
@@PieterFret I am guessing you never saw Yuji Ide ...
@@PieterFret i think you never heard of Yuji Ide then? He was so bad that he lost his super licence after just 4 races.
I'm from Brazil and i can tell that a good driver in Junior Formula Categories doesn't mean that you'll gonna be a good F1 driver, it's hard to understand why Ricardo was so bad in F1.
Well there was a reason why they call him "Tosser" Rosset!
Toyota - Benjamin Daly
He thought he was driving a Ferrari
Actually he thought he wasn't. Hence why he went there lol. 😆
I think this is a little unfair to Mansell and Mazepin, as they only did two, respectively five races for their teams.
I'd rather put Michael Andretti ('93) for McLaren and Esteban Gutierrez ('16) for Haas, as they did more races than Mansell and Mazepin and were totally dominated by their teammates.
I would've expected Alonso named as worst driver for McLaren. I love the guy and he is an amazing talent but his 4 years with McLaren (especially the 2015 and 2017 seasons) were garbage, where he had a poor car, poor form, poor relationship with the team (which had a ton of other internal struggles). All of which went on to put him 17th in the WDC in 2015 which was definitely one of the biggest lowlights in his career and McLaren's history.
Its hard to see if mazepin really that bad, the car was underperforming this year. Gutierrez is my pick for Haas.
@@MrZebeda not really, in 2015 Jenson had 16 points while Fernando had 11. In 2016 Fernando had 54 while Jenson had 21. And in 2017 and 2018, Fernando beat Stoffel, while whitewashing him in 2018.
Not defending Mazepin but I think Schumacher has made similar errors in some cases. But fans are calling Mscs mistakes as rookie errors. But call for Mazepins head
@@MrZebeda i get what your saying but i think because Alonso had a very successful stint with Mclaren in the past, he cant really be named the worst

Considering you are looking into the historical forms of the current teams then it's a huge surprise that you haven't included Ricardo tosseR for Mercedes (Tyrell)
You have a point!
I thought the direct lineage of Mercedes went back to BAR definitely, but not all that definitely to Tyrrell and may also involve Minardi?
@@digitaldeathsquid3448 BAR bought Tyrell to get into F1 without needing the entry fee
@@digitaldeathsquid3448 Minardi's lineage is with AlphaTauri
BAR bought out Tyrell so yes that is a direct connection. Minard has nothing to do with it as they are Alpha Tauris original form.
I would of chosen Gutteirez for Haas. He scored nothing while Grosjean got all the points.
Same, Gutierrez was terrible in the Haas, and usually blamed the team for it.
I remember he had a very, put very lightly by Brundle, "unorthodox" driving style which in no way made him quick.
Basically what Brundle wanted to say that he was shit.
@@aayushkarnik7166 reminds me of what he said about ricardo rosset
As far as I can remember he was much more professional than Mazepin
Yeah I would pick him too… , (but maybe they forgot him (he was a bit of an invisible driver… (except Bahrain 2014) , I can inderstand Mazepin, but it is a bit early I guess
Saying Nikita Mazepin "is going to be around for a while" might have been calling that shot a little early looking at this video in March of 2022.
Yes, that comment about Mazepin aged as well as Kevin Magnussen's comparison of the Hass VF-22 to Herbie the Love Bug. Respect to K-Mag though, he was the first to admit it. Gotta like a person who can laugh at himself.
Still, I wouldn't call Mazespin the worst. He was terrible but Gutierrez was at least as bad and IMO worse.
well to be honest nobody was expecting a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine a year ago
Edd Straw has some really weird ideas at the best of times (had to get a dig in at Badoer yet again, huh?), but hilariously choosing Zonta over Rosset simply because he agreed to do an Autosport podcast interview a couple of years back? Goddamn.
Yeah for Ferrari I would have picked Capelli. Merc should have been Rosset or you could even say ABBA's drummer who only lasted 3 races. For Racing Point they could have picked Hill considering how awful his 99 season was in comparison to Frenzen.
How did Ricardo Rosset escape the ignominy for 'Mercedes'?
I guess maybe because his teammate Tora Takagi was just almost as bad as Rosset. I'm kinda surprised Tyrrel survived 1998.
To be the worst driver I guess he needed to be a driver first...
@@KayDizzelVids Its an interesting one, despite all the hate, Rossett did indeed "beat" Takagi in the non-classified standings (nowadays he would have finished ahead of him in the championship outright) and lets be fair, Tyrrell treated him like garbage and threw what little resources they had purely behind Takagi. I do feel a bit sorry for Rosset, since his two attempts at F1 saw him land very poorly managed teams who clearly only cared about one driver (at least at Arrows Verstappen was known to be fast)
If you count Tyrrell in the lineage of Mercedes. Julian Bailey 1988 is the worst full time driver for the team.
@@MrSniperfox29 actual was Rossett also treat his mechanics badly and complain a lot time and his never get well together with team but Monaco 1998 was terrible thing Rossett ever done
I honestly thought Ricardo Rosset, not Zonta, was instead chosen as worst Mercedes-continuity driver.
The problem is that he actually "beat" (by one result) his teammate that season, so by the metric used you can't call driver X the worst driver if he beats driver Y in the same team.
Surprised you didn’t pick Ricardo Rosset for Mercedes
Oh shit. You're right. So horrible, Ken Tyrrell quit his own team.
Ah yes, the Tosser.
Ha yeah I remember him failing to qualify for races 🤣
you forget he still beat his teammate in 1998 at Tyrell
Rosset was overall not a good driver (and I have no idea, white Tyrrell picked him and not his teammate Sospiri), while Zonta got his seat at BAR as the defending FIA GT world champion…
McLaren: I'd have thought Michael Andretti would be in with a shout
For Mclaren, I'd pick Heikki Kovalainen as well
@@EESHANDACH Kovalainen won a race for McLaren (even if it was a very lucky win).
Or keke rosberg in 1986
Checo as well
@@dalejohnston3688 Rosberg retired 8/16 races in 1986, and none of them were his own mistake. Didn't get to show his true potential in that MP4/2C.
This also works well to remind some younger fans of some teams and their past guises.
Strange that whilst you mentioned that Jan Magnussen drove sportscars, you ignored Nelson Piquet Jr's Formula E title!
Haven’t watched the video but Mazepin
2022 edit: I support Mazepin now, he’s just trying his best on the grid and we’re judging him too hard at times (despite the scandals and lack of pace)
2022 Part 2: Kevin wiped the floor on Schumi Jr, truly showed how far Mazepin was behind from the average F1 driver. His departure wasn't the best but truly the only way forward for Haas
Not Gutierrez?
Haven't watched the video either, but... What about Gutierrez?
Mazepin is certainly not the worst. You dislike him but that does not make him the worst.
Yes he's in the video too
Honestly just give the guy a break. Yes he's done some shitty things but he doesn't deserve to be endlessly shit on by thousands of people every single day nobody does
Next from The Race: Which driver from every current F1 team uses the toilet the most.
Kimi - mwoah, i was taking a shit
Which Ed Straw breaks the toilet the most
The teams are being really slow at getting back to our request for that info
@@WeAreTheRace They are possibly still on the toilet?
I can assure you Mazepin is the one that uses it the least, given that he's always shiting himself
I think Andrea De Cesaris should have been the pick for Mclaren, since he only scored one point the whole season
Him or maybe stoffel vandoorne
@@isaacdavenport407 Andretti easily.
"De Crasheris"...
@@adampetten5349 Andretti atleast scored a podium. Otherwise though, quite an unremarkable season
@@adampetten5349 Andretti was on the podium so no...
I was rather surprised to see that someone beat Michael Andretti to the McLaren slot here, but I suppose it makes sense that Andretti did do more races and scored a podium in the process.
I am struggling to understand how Ricardo Zonta is worse than Ricardo Rosset.
How did his crew rearrange Rossets name?😂
@@adampetten5349 from Rosset to Tosser😂
This is quite funny to be honest!
Yeah some of these Driver choices are pretty hilarious
Certainly better than WTF1
@@RhythmAndFlo WTF1 is your problem?
@@ballaking1000 they just steal a metric ton of content and don’t give the original creators any credit, not to mention that Matt annoys the living hell out of me with his overly loud and incredibly over-the-top reactions
@@RhythmAndFlo Can’t argue with any of that lol
You really cant judge a driver to all the other teammates after completing just 6 rounds.
I know not a lot of people like mazepin but it's a bit unfair to put him on this list when it's not even halfway through the season yet
My thoughts exactly! I would have put Gutierrez on this list for know and after full 2021 you can say maybe Mazepin
And Schumacher literally has had more crashes I think, Im not a mazepin fan but this isn't quite right.
That and the Haas cars this year are almost Zakspeed-level bad.
I mean zonta is part of one of the most iconic f1 overtakes of all time surely he gets some points there
Zonta, aka "The Backmarker" wo witnessed The Mika overtook The Michael
I think McLaren had worse drivers than Mansell.
Yeah Vandoorne
This list consists of the statistics that a driver achieved solely during his or her tenure on that team. While Mansell was a legendary driver elsewhere, he scored zero points for McLaren. Stoffel Vandoorne managed 26 points, which puts him ahead of a few other McLaren drivers such as Andrea de Cesaris.
Honorable mention: Alan Jones when he did a comeback to F1 with the original HAAS team
Maz probably won't get a chance to improve now.
3:01 yeah he sure will be in f1 for awhile…
It's good that they took the teams old origins also, otherwise Mercedes worst driver would have been Michael Schumacher who was indeed still great at his age.
Thank god 😬
Actually, they didn't for mercedes. It was originally Tyrrel, and they had Ricardo Rosset. finished only 25% of his races in it collecting 0 points in 16 races. While Zonta got 3 point in the BAR, was previously the Tyrrel team
@@C0DW1TH5ANDEL5 That tyrell was a joke of a car though. I dont think Rosset is a good driver but he still beat his teammate. Zonta barely scraped some points and got much less than Villeneurve who was already on the way down and couldnt care less.
@@C0DW1TH5ANDEL5 Tyrrell also had Julian Bailey who had an even worse record than Rosset
@@MrSniperfox29 Thank you. It's amazing how many people don't even know of the older guys.
I like these kind of drivers, it’s fun to cheer on drivers that appear to not be the greatest or struggling as 1. They might actually really appreciate your support as a fan as compared to being a fan of someone who wins all the time 2. If there is a shock good result for them, it’s one of the best feelings ever and your there before everyone else starts taking notice of them if they potentially improve over time! example: Supporting Gasly after he was dropped from red bull and then being a fan of his when he went on to win the 2020 Italian Grand Prix!
I’m not saying there’s something wrong with being a fan of a driver who wins all the time, just that in F1 I think it needs the fact that for every Lewis Hamilton there is also an occasional Yuji Ide.
I was (And still am) a fan of Pastor Maldonado and Williams; I don't think I've ever shouted louder than I did watching the final lap of Spain 2012...
What about Jolyon for Alpine?
Had a gut feeling it shouldn't have been Petrov and then I ran results for Renault teams. Palmer hands down.
Even if you consider 'all teams that ran Renault engines', I would have picked Palmer, Kovalainen (at caterham) or Hesnault (at ligier) over Petrov.
Palmer didn't crash on purpose in order to keep a drive
Palmer has retired*
@@pietvanvliet1987 Palmer outperformed Magnussen in their year together, it seemed like the obvious choice to keep him but he was utterly destroyed by Hulkenburg.
@@andrewcarter1747 rose tinted spectacles mate
I would say that Luciano Burti was a worse driver than Magnussen.
I feel like this video was created PURELY to drag Mazespin
You didn't watch the whole thing then. And anyway, what wrong with a bit a Mazepin bashing? Worst rookie I've seen in ages and he deserves it.
@@mftraw1099 nobody deserves thousands of people to shit on them everyday day after day after day but ok
@@Grunge_covers Hitler?
@@mftraw1099 I didn’t watch anything after Mazepin - did I miss much?
Not just to bash him, but they didn't miss the opportunity. I saw some reasonable comments with better takes than in the video. The worst driver in the history of the team is a 5-race rookie? Gimme a break.
We're really going to say Zonta at BAR was worse than the Tosser at Tyrrell?
That's what I put in an earlier comment
@@SiVlog1989 lots of others have too. Hopefully to get the message across.
BAR only bought the team and F1 entry from Tyrrell. They used a completely different factory, a different chassis builder, and a different engine supplier from Tyrrell, whose cars and equipment were mostly sold to Paul Stoddart, the eventual owner of Minardi during the final seasons.
If this is just an excuse to find ways to call Mazespin the worst driver in as many categories as possible, I fully support this.
Nikita mazepin shouldn’t be on the list being a rookie and not having a full season yet
Especially when haas had Esteban Gutierrez
Karthikeyan & Chandhok
Haas: *nervous sweating*
Mazepins dad : delete this
"He will be around for a while..." that didnt age well...
Zonta worse than Rosset, really?!
Both were better than Julian Bailey though

@@SkodaYetiFan alpha tauri should be 2008
I feel bad for Mazepin being on this list. BUT he has been a damn menace on the track and annoyed most of the drivers.
The title of this video should be "Good drivers who underperformed in an F1 team"
Alex Yoong?
Mazepin lol?
Yes
@@dacoconutnut9503 overall there were more good drivers than bad ones so *shrug*. I'd rather be fair to Mansell than worry about shitting on Alex Yoong.
@@aayushkhare656 same as above and further for Mazepin he's a rookie driving around in an embarrassment of a car. He can have the best performance of his life in that car and he'll still finish second last at max so I don't even think he can be properly judged.
"We will not use Fill-in drivers or drivers that didn't race-enough." (paraphrasing)
Includes:
- Mansell (though I can see this, 5 races in a car that didn't fit him and a team he didn't get along with, should disqualify). The car was bad too. For Mclaren, the aforementioned (below) Andretti fits the bill much more.
- Capelli. 1 race, 1 DNQ. Completely goes against the rules. Why not pick Boutsen, who was outpaced consistently by Barrichello? Or how about Giorgio Pantano?
- Rosset at Tyrrell, as mentioned or even Brian Henton, Julian Bailey, Olivier Grouillard or the Japanese boys; I loved Katayama, but he did nothing, same with Takagi. Really dropped the ball on this one.
- Larini at Sauber? Again, 5 races, 3 finishes, one in the points and another 7th. You mention Fontana and Morbidelli, who were both considerably worse (again), Diniz did nothing and then the disastrous 2014, with Sutil and Gutierrez both doing jack-all. Larini is a true underdog of the sport and had at least some success, regardless of where he drove.
- Lastly, worst of all, Baghetti? Are you for real? At least pick guys that did absolutely nothing and there's a list:
- Alfonso De Portago
- Cliff Allison
- Jean Behra (since the, "not many races," rule doesn't apply after all)
- Umberto Maglioli
- Fisichella
There's subjective and then there is just plain off and this list could've been MUCH better (I can also nitpick Renault, but not going to bother).
And lastly, there is a laundry list of Minardi failures that were worse than Yoong (who at least scored a point), but also not going to bother.
This, lovely nitpicking! But Andretti wasn't that bad at McLaren, Andrea de Adamich almost fulltimer in 1971 or Andrea de Cesaris 1981.
Of all the Minardi drivers, their worst almost fulltimer is Paolo Barilla 1990. (Or Andrea de Cesaris, again, in 1986 or Allesandro Nannini 1986-87)
This Alpine Renault team started as Toleman, so you get Brian Henton, Teo Fabi and Derek Warwick. With the worst stats for Teo Fabi. (Warwick and Henton both had a P10. Fabi only P12).
@@BeautevilDeath Fabi set a pole though.
Although I'm not a big fan of Mazepin, I would've chosen Esteban Gutierrez for Haas instead.
Not even close
I find that Esteban actual did decent 2016 just he Finnish 11 three time still not good neither and I see why HAAS drop Esteban for kevin but maybe because Esteban Ferrari Junior mind be reason he have seat
I see Alex Yoong in the pic.
He makes multiple appearances

"But he's going to be around for a while" ... ahh poor Mazepin
What about when Tyrell signed Tora Takagi and Riccardo Rosset.
"He will be around for a while" 3:00 didn't age well at all 😭
Sorry again if I've mentioned this once already. The team that was Jordan ended when Force India was bought by Lawrence Stroll and became Racing Point. He didn't manage to buy the entry so this resulted in Force India losing all its points and Racing Point entering the table. The presence of both team names on the classification indicates that Racing Point was a new team
I really don't get why Mazepin was included on the list, he's had 5 races in F1. o_O, just piling on for the sake of it?
Haas only has had 5 drivers so far so not much choices. But I would pick Gutierrez over Mazepin. Grosjean carried Haas in 2016
No idea how Michael Andretti or Andrea de Cesaris weren’t the McLaren pick, maybe Mansell was more of a let down because of his name but the other 2 were far far worse in race winning cars
Nigel Mansell was clearly the best F1 driver out of the three, but his stint at McLaren was the worst out of the three, because he scored zero points for the team before retirement. Michael Andretti managed to achieve a podium and 7 points, while Andrea de Cesaris, albeit without a podium, was able to achieve 1 point. Although Mansell probably could have achieved some points had he remained, the fact that he quit means he forfeited a higher classification among the McLaren driver rankings.
@@alctheblade8124 But do you not have to take teammate performances into account? Nobody won in the 95 McLaren and it wasn't until much later in the season that Blundell and Hakkinen were able to get podiums. John Watson won a race in 81 and had 4 podiums, and while it is unfair to compare Michael Andretti to Ayrton Senna, Mika Hakkinen was able to match his haul of 1 podium in just his second race.
Mansell only had 2 races compared to a huge bulk of the season for the other 2, also this meant we didn't get to see many race results. In qualifying Mansell was able to qualify within 2 tenths of Hakkinen in his second race meanwhile Andretti rarely got within 1 seconds of Senna. Idk it feels a cop out putting in a dude who only had 2 races with the team and was at the tail end of his career
@@KC1996LFC remember though that neither Mika Häkkinen nor Mark Blundell were rookies like Michael Andretti was, and 1993 restricted free practice. Also, this list was already stated to not always directly correlate with total driving ability and went more towards individual statistics and numbers solely for the tenure on the team in question, ignoring hypotheticals. It does suck that the F1 champion made it onto this list, but because it was by choice that he left as supposed to just being dropped, a choice Mansell later admitted was shortsighted, he cost himself the ability to surpass Andrea de Cesaris. It just goes to show that a wholehearted effort and some perseverance, even when underwhelming, can still produce more than an effort that is swiftly abandoned.
So your saying that Ricardo Tosser didn’t get mentioned for Tyrrell
If they used the same metric as they do today, Rossett would have actually finished ahead of Takagi in the championship table. Pretty hard to label him the worst driver when he "beat" his teammate.
2:27 everyone's favorite!
Didn't expected it, but it's satisfying 😆🤣
"This Guy!"
Daddy's money can buy u a place in F1 but it can't buy u F1 skills
The content I didn't ask for but love 💕
The Race: "He's going to be around for a while"
Putin: I don't think so
Genuinely thought we'd see Ivan Capelli twice on this list for Jordan/Aston Martin and Ferrari! Possibly Lehto for the Enstone team as when he signed it was supposed to be a permanent signing when he arrived in 94....
Lehto was injured in a pre season testing crash early in 1994
Can't agree with a few - surely Rosset for Tyrell (Mercedes), Andretti for Mclaren and I would even pick Pizzonia for Jaguar (RedBull) over Magnussen.
0:33 Luca Badoer had nothing to prove at Ferrari. He was a highly respected test driver in Maranello, with no ambition to return to F1 in a racing seat
true, but it still was terrible. althoutg Fisichella as the actual replacement for Massa, who had the intention to good results wasnt really better either
Next I'd like to see an in-depth report on what each driver does when he needs to take a leak while driving in the race.
Zanardi's stint at Williams was incredibly shocking for someone who absolutely dominated CART. His replacement at Chip Ganassi, Montoya, did much better on his own eventual F1 debut.
Yoong was pretty good in Asian F3, but the series was in no way adequate preparation for F1.
I was wondering if it would be between Yoong and Scott Speed for the worst at Minardi/STR/AT. Yoong was definitely woefully underprepared but Speed has a horrible, arrogant attitude and didn't perform well at all. When you make your bosses hate you, you've screwed up spectacularly.
@@alexpeak16 Yeah, Yoong, at least, was a nice, likeable guy. Just terribly unprepared due to where he came from .
The people that disliked this are the drivers you said
I think my selection would be a quite different, but you did a great job!
My selection:
Williams - Alex Zanardi
Haas - Nikita Mazepin (*)
Alfa Romeo (Sauber) - Nicola Larini
Alpha Tauri (Minardi) - Gianmaria Bruni
Ferrari - Eddie Irvine
Alpine (Renault) - Nelson Piquet Jr
Aston Martin (Jordan) - Narain Karthikeyan
Mclaren - Nigel Mansell
Red Bull (Stewart) - Jan Magnussen
Mercedes (Tyrrell) - Ricardo Rosset
(*) - Nikita has margin to increase, in the future, if it will confirm, the place will be of Esteban Gutierrez
Benetton (Alpine): JJ Letho.
On paper, 1994 should have been Letho's big chance, after years of outperforming lower midfield and back of the field cars, he was signed to the rising Benetton team alongside Michael Schumacher for 1994. But it was not to be.
While trying to match the German's testing times at Silverstone, he had a nasty accident that left him unconscious and being transferred to hospital with fractured vertebrae in his neck. It could be argued that he never really recovered.
He missed the first 2 races of the season to help his neck recover, made his first appearance for the team at the ultimately tragic San Marino Grand Prix, where he qualified 5th on the grid, but stalled the engine at the start and was collected by the unsighted Lotus of Pedro Lamy. From Monaco onwards, he really struggled. While Schumacher was recording frequent race wins and pole positions, Letho only qualified in the top ten one more time (4th in Spain) and only scored one point, after Christian Fittipaldi was excluded from the Canadian result for being underweight, before being dropped in favour of Jos Verstappen. He had one final chance with the team, filling in for the banned Schumacher in Monza and Estoril, but didn't fare very well even against Verstappen (at Monza Verstappen qualified 10th and Letho 20th, in Estoril Verstappen was again 10th and Letho 14th. In the races, only Verstappen could score any points while Benetton's star driver was away, Letho failed even to record a top 10 in Monza and crashed out of the race in Estoril). After Estoril, he was dropped by Benetton and after missing Jerez, he raced in Japan and Australia for Sauber, replacing Andrea De Cesaris. These would turn out to be the final times we'd see JJ in F1 machinery, from 1995, he embarked on a very successful career on Endurance racing, including winning the Le Mans 24 Hours at the first attempt in 1995
“Mazepin will be around for a while.”
Narrator:
“He wasn’t.”
OK to be fair that wasn't really Mansel's fault.
Agreed, the award should go for "Worse car", not the unfortunate driver!
"Nikita mazapin will be around for a while" That didnt age well
Would've put Andrea De Crasharis as the worst Mclaren driver, in 1981 significantly outpaced by John Watson in what was a race winning car and only scored one point. Unfair to Mansell who only did 2 races in a car that couldn't even fit the guy
How about (if you haven't done it already) a video on how many F1 teams evolved over the years, metamorphosed and changed names, such as BAR to Mercedes?
MIKE ANDRETTI!!! How many times did he finish on the same lap as Senna?
His crashing was worse than his speed.
Andretti's podium and points saved him from this list, and the only reason Mansell appears here is because he chose to retire early. Had Mansell stayed and finished the season, Andrea de Cesaris, with his single point, would have been the one on this list for McLaren.
2:30 he only just started it when this video was made, now it's over.
well, the bit about Nikita Mazepin aged well......
I imagine the pitch for this video was "How can we produce a video which announces that Mazepine is a bad driver without it looking like we are just targeting him?"
Not that I think they're wrong. We all know paid drivers always have been and always will be a thing in F1, it's just a shame that so many of them have to be so bad behind the wheel.
Both in the car and out of the car.
It should've been Gutierrez, 5 races isn't enough to say he is they're just pandering
@Scom Tott firstly, being able to pick out a couple of good drivers doesn't change my statement "It's a shame that so many of them have to be so bad behind the wheel." Over the history of F1, there have been many cases of teams taking on pay drivers that were shockingly bad.
I am curious about why you think Lewis Hamilton began as a pay driver in F1? Unless you are trying to shoehorn that in, by taking about his time in a different race series (which is irrelevant to a discussion about F1 pay drivers).
As for it all being a media thing. The media don't make a driver objectively bad on the track.
Gutierrez for Haas imo
I was really annoyed when they brought Gutierrez in to replace Kobayashi at Sauber, I get he brought sponsorship money with him... But he never showed any signs that he deserved to be in F1.
Baghetti for Ferrari? I would have said Capelli. I also agree with what others said about Rosset for Mercedes (Tyrrell) and Andretti for McLaren (Mansell did for sure a bad performance with the team, but it only consisted of two races)
Piquet was worse than Palmer?
Because of crashgate?
I think it’ll be because Piquet had a race winning car in 2008 and yet still rarely scored points
Interesting how in terms of livery aston got back to were they started as Jordan.. Kind of lol
Unfair to judge Mazepin after 6 races. Especially when you had Esteban Guttierez who was so bad in 2016.
I'm kinda getting sick of the endless hate for him. I mean yeah he's done some shitty things but give the man a break it's been half a year of endless hate towards him
3:00 this aged like milk in the summer sun, i'm not gonna lie
Badoers stand in was so funny. In the 2009 valencian gp, the guy hit the back of another car in parce ferme and then took the steering wheel of the car without turning it off.
I loved the Stewart team, and Minardi,
Don't agree puting Nigel Mansell in this category of your title thread posted, specially when he's regarded as a legend in F1 history.
Yes it's unfair to say he's the WORST but Nigel Mansell is very much over rated. He had 4 years in undoubtedly the best car on the grid and only got 1 championship out of those. He was convincingly beaten by Elio de Angelis and closely matched with Keke Rosberg, both of whom are typically ranked much lower. Over his 15 year career Mansell was outscored 482-491, out raced 72-75 and out qualified 92-97 by his teammates.
He's generally liked by fans because of his fearless and quite spectacular driving.
De Cesaris was a true Braddock
Mazepin going to be around for a while 🤣🤣🤣 that aged horribly well.
The sauber livery car is very fitting with the close your eyes meme
please do a video ranking mcclarens drivers, id be very interested to see the list, although i suspect number 1 would be obvious 2-10 could be very interesting...
1 is debatable too
The top 3 are Prost, Senna and Hamilton. The order will never be settled.
@@AlonsoRules I'd say mid-2000's Raikkonen should absolutely be in that conversation, as well, if the discussion is about what the driver did with the team. He didn't achieve what others might have for McLaren, but he was arguably the fastest man in F1 (Michael a shade slower in pure pace but definitely the more complete package) all throughout his tenure with the team and was more often than not let down by mechanical failure rather than his own shortcomings or mistakes.
@@AlonsoRules if Hamilton is brought to the conversation despite his peak wasn't with McLaren then Lauda should enter the conversation as well. Which mean there is no way the number 1 is clear and settled.
@@AlonsoRules oh i disagree about hamilton
For Mercedes it should be Ricardo Rosset.
The problem is that he actually "beat" (by one result) his teammate that season, so by the metric used you can't call driver X the worst driver if he beats driver Y in the same team.
Considering mazepin ONLY JUST started that's harsh, I'd have said Gutierrez
Yeah they're just pandering to people, Gutierrez was shit
Great great video
It always amazes me that Williams went with Coulthard instead of Mansell for 1995. I honestly think that Mansell could of given Schumacher a better run for his money than Hill that year (who's head was in the clouds in 1995) despite his age. He, almost certainly, would have done better than Coulthard that year who was a waste of a good seat. From what I've read, the Williams FW17 was the fastest car on the grid that season however the drivers totally let the team down. Especially Hill who made some truly awful mistakes that year.
The car was made of tissue paper and Head was made to look foolish by Brawn. There were bonehead mistakes but Coulthard beat Hakkinen twice. For a disabled Herbert to finish only 4 points behind DC means the Benetton was better. DC was 3rd in WDC that year. Hill outperformed Mansell in 1994 so they went with him.
Piquet??? What about palmer?
3:01 "he is going to be around for a while and will improve" that aged like sour milk 🤣
3:00 Narrator: He will be around and will improve.
Everyone after 24th February: Do I smell spoiled milk here? Or is it just my sweaty armpits?
Romain Grosjean did MUCH (MUCH!!!) worse when Piquet Jr. was replaced. I can't agree with this choice because it was clear that Renault was undermining NP Jr. him since day 1. A part from the 2nd place in Hockenhein, he did at least 2 or 3 great races that year (of course, using outdated cars and without pit preference). I remember Fuji and Hungaroring (and/or Magny Cours?). His incident weren't planned out of nowhere: Briatore made his life in F1 extremely miserable with constant blackmail. This guy should be in jail. Also his race in Hockenhein was helped by a great strategy, it's true, but his pace was better than Massa's Ferrari by the end of the race, and that was a wet race. He made it happen.
Well... aside from this, you forgot to mention Ricardo Rosset.
Maybe Alonso didn't like Piquet Jr?
@@Limegreenedragon guess who was Alonso's manager?
@@conandrade who?
@@Limegreenedragon Flavio Briatore himself =)
Alonso is an amazing driver. I really don't think he had anything to do with the crash (even though he was benefited from it).
Jos Verstappen was also far slower than Nelson Piquet Jr at Benetton/Renault. Piquet hadn't a gap of 1-2s from Alonso.
TF? Jos scored 10 points in just over half a season, in his first year.
The current Aston Martin team is not the same entity as the old Jordan team. The Racing Point consortium only bought Force India's assets and championship entry, folding the old team and founding a new one with the same name and probably most of the original staff.
I suppose the same driver couldn't appear twice which was why Ivan Capelli wasn't the entry for Ferrari
Why not Rosset for Mercedes (Tyrrell)?
he still finished ahead of his team mate that season
@@Jwm367t And Julian Bailey in 1988 had an even worse season
Imagine, it's 2001 and your mate turns to you and says "in 20 years time, Stewart & BAR will be battling it out for the title and have won every constructors title since 2010 and Jos Verstappen's son will be leading the drivers championship."
You can add 2009 in to the streak as well :)
As soon as he mentioned not counting stand-ins my first thought was "Luca Badoer will be happy" - and then he says basically exactly that! 😆
he was good when he was young and a great test driver, he got those ferrari drives too late
@@JohnSmith-rw8uh Absolutely, he should be given more of the credit for Ferrari's successes during the Schumacher years - imagine how many laps of Fiorano he's done over his career.
