Poor Luca. Even he himself was relieved that he didn't have to race for Ferrari anymore. The pressure on him was immense and the results were just embarrassing.
cant blame him, he hadnt driven for 10 years, he was past his prime and the testing ban that year didnt help. he should've been given the chance to fill in for Schumacher in 1999, he would've definitely matched Salo's results
poor Badoer, he's definitely the unluckiest of all drivers in the list. he wasnt a bad driver, he definitely had potential to atleast be a Kovalainen. he spent his entire career going from one backmarker team to another, driving some of the worst cars and lacking any opportunities. then 10 years later he returns, at an age near 40, past his prime, and in a completely new circuit; add to that, the testing ban made him even rustier, he had barely driven that year's Ferrari at that point. the result was bound to be what it was from the start, and i honestly think Ferrari just let him race as a way of thanking him for all the years of service. also, i still believe he shouldve been given the chance to fill in when Schumacher injured in Silverstone '99, he was definitely a driver who would've been capable of matching Mika Salo's results, and it would've been an important push forward to his career; but sadly, we'll never know. Badoer's story just shows the other side of the sport: the bad luck and the lack of opportunities
Look at how Badoer drove at the Nurburgring in 99 in a Minardi. Honestly believe with how that race went he’d have won in a Ferrari that day. Hate that he’s just become a punchline because of that 2009 cameo!
@@kevsxe Luca was running fourth about 13 laps from the end when his gearbox kicked the bucket, and to add insult to injury his teammate Gene finished sixth to take the title-deciding point from title contender Eddie Irvine (Mika Hakkinen had overtaken Gene for fifth (thanks in large part to a BAR failure ahead of them) and the Spaniard held Irvine at bay)
Was wondering by how much being a Ferrari test driver could've helped mitigate the impact of the ban on in-season testing on his ability to prepare for an F1 race, though I forgot exactly which vehicles he was testing beforehand
Funny thing is Magnussen finished P3 just a year before in McLaren in Australia in 2014. (got promoted to P2 after Ricciardos DSQ) on his first ever F1 race (his only podium to date) and a year later in 2015. he got a chance again in Mclaren on same track and it just showed how terrible that car was
Especially as his teammate Gene held off title contender Eddie Irvine's Ferrari for 6th; had Eddie jumped him there's a chance Schumi would've let Eddie past in the finale
Then, after missing two rounds, Caterham returned for Abu Dhabi and it was Will Stevens subbing for Marcus Ericsson (who had left early after signing a Sauber deal for 2015), after Andre turned down the offer
Badoer’s return will always remind me of the official 2009 season review when Ben Edwards savagely burned him. Badoer: “I’ve realised my dream. When I was a small child i said to my father ‘one day I want to race in F1 but, i wanna drive for Ferrari.” Edwards: “His dream quickly turned into a nightmare when he qualified 20th and last of all the runners.”
Button's 2017 stand in for Alonso was made right at the start when he drove out of the pits. His radio message to Alonso to pee in his seat made his weekend golden already. Nothing could go wrong from there.
Always felt bad for Badoer in Valencia, having Smedley scream down the radio at him about traffic clearly made the confusion that lead to him pulling aside for Grosjean.
Worst thing about Alliot standing in at McLaren was how he then moved to Larrousse and proceeded to openly complain about how their car didn't have an automatic gearbox like McLaren had. Which he was definitely NOT supposed to openly talk about.
As Racefans wrote in 2014: "Jean-Pierre Jabouille, the former grand prix winner who now headed their engine operation, had lobbied hard for fellow Frenchman Philippe Alliot to be given the Martin Brundle’s seat. This went to ridiculous lengths. In a side-by-side test involving the two drivers at the Paul Ricard circuit Alliot posted a faster time, but McLaren only discovered the means by which this had been achieved when Alliot’s telemetry revealed his steering wheel had been pointing straight as he drove through one of the chicanes."
Love the channel and have been subbed since before 100k. I love all the F1 stuff but I'd also like to see more on GT series like WEC, IMSA, DTM, and others as well as Indycar which you do have from time to time.
Those series all have their own UA-cam channels, as so SRO, but The Race was a GT channel initially, It was NISMO TV, covering Bathurst 12 hour, Nurburgring 24 hour and live coverage of Super GT and Super Taikyu.
J.J.Lehto and Jos Verstappen whenever having to stand in for a disqualified Schumacher, Benetton, 1994. No one still can explain how they usually barely touch the points (then assigned to the top 6 positions) while their team-mate eventually won the Championship. For sure, that team-mate was Schumacher, but that Season Benetton effectively ran with just one car...
Funnily enough in equal cars JJ was as least as fast Schumacher. JJ had a car with a cracked chassis for a few races (upto I think Canada), Imola ended in a grid crash (de la Rosa or someone rearended him), and in pre-season testing he suffered a fractured vertebra. He never really got a decent chance to show what he was capable of in a winning car.
@@samiraperi467 He suffered a broken neck in a testing shunt at Silverstones Stowe corner in January which set him back massively. There really are a lot of ignorant people on here!!
But Giovinazzi did put in a very respectable performace at the previous race in Australia. He might have binned the car in quali at China but overall his performace was mixed. Definately not bad enough to compete with the ones on this list.
I think Kovalainen gets more shit than he deserves, but his short Lotus run was bad, and i mean really bad. Driving in Kimis race winning car twice into a measly P14 finish while Grosjean took a P2 finish in the other car.
Dean Gibson Fairs. Another poor performance was Jerome D’Ambrosio at the 2012 Italian GP replacing grosjean. Finishing 15th-17th in a car capable of a podium on a circuit that favoured their car was generally quite poor indeed. Plus he’d been testing in the car earlier that season.
It happened after the video was made, but now I would add Jack Aitken's appearance for Williams to this list. I mean he practically used George Russell's own car to rob him of victory twice, first by causing the safety car and probably also with the wreckage to cause the puncture.
Good days, but not the channel's fault that Nissan pulled the plug on funding. Just pleased they have made a miracle comeback and recreated the best of what Autosport used to be via its site, before Zak Brown took over and they sacked all the good journalists in favour of illiterate reporters.
The Mclaren that year was awful, especially to start the season. The Mercedes, Ferrari and RB were obviously faster, but it was also in that period where Force India were solidified as an upper midtable team, and Williams had yet to become shit. That Mclaren was probably the 6th best car on the grid, maybe even 7th or 8th behind the Renault and Toro Rosso. I'd say it was 8th to start the year, 6th to end it
Kovalainen substituting for Räikkönen at the end of 2013 should have been on the list I guess. These two unconvincing drives proved the end of his career.
I thought Antonio Giovinazzi's stand in for Wehlien in 2017 might have featured. I'm glad it didn't though. Most people seem to remember his qualifying crash at China but nobody seems to remember he put in a very respectable performance at Australia.
some people underestimate how important the driver is in F1 saying "someone won because he had the fastest car" only shows the lack of respect some people have for the drivers who risk their lives in every corner to extract all the performance available out of their cars
Badoer wasn't a bad driver. We did well in Minardi, often outqualified Gene or Martini, both very talented and skilled drivers. Nearly finished 4th at Nurbürgring in 1999, but gearbox problem forced him into retirement. When he tested for Ferrari, his lap times very usually pretty competitive. In 2009, he was unfortunately past his prime, never got a chance to test the F60 prior to the European GP, plus the car was difficult to drive. Its a shame that he wasn't offered the Ferrari seat in 1999 after Schumi's accident...
Fisichella in the Ferrari should have made the list. He was always at the back of the grid with Kimi at the front. And so crazy that McLaren basically served as Honda's test bed for their return. As soon as Honda got dumped by McLaren and teamed up with Red Bull, Honda was reliable and competitive.
André Lotterer? Really? He outpaced his experienced team mate Ericsson in Quali by 1 second (!) That the car fucked up in the race you can't blame him for
@@KIN24-17 It didn't end that badly compared to some though, it was just fairly average - though really pretty decent for someone who just jumped straight out of the BTCC, in which he was a stand-in, into an F1 car, in which he hadn't driven since 1992!
Peugeot: McLaren,put our Alliot to drive! McLaren: NO, HE'S TERRIBLE! Peugeot: it's treason,then- *Häkkinen* *gets* *race* *ban* McLaren: might I stop you there? It's his chance! *Alliot* *drives* *terribly* Peugeot: now we see why you didn't want to put Alliot to drive,sorry...
There were some poor choices of stand ins during the early 1990s. Andrea Montermini at Simtek for the Spanish Grand Prix of 1994, any race that involved Jean-Denis Deletraz, and Philippe Adams at Lotus spring to mind.
@@peh2006 Not even making it to qualifying, I'd say yeah, that was a bad weekend! But since then, an incredible first few Indycar races in '94 and a later outstanding GT career for Andrea.
Yeah it seems like the Autosport's old guard were let go in a shake up to include Jess aka 'the girl that used to be in WTF1'. Pub quizzes, vacuous rants and some extreme fawning of Hamilton have made me jump ship.
I wish that Lotterer had continued in F1. He lost out on the chance of a seat in the early 2000’s and I always thought that he, like a lot of drivers, deserved a proper shot in F1.
I’d have put Mika Salo in there. Yes, he had a couple of decent outings on tracks which were mainly straight lines (but in both cases he was helped by incidents ahead of him), but his woeful performances at Austria, Hungary (2 seconds behind Irvine in qualifying, 2 laps behind Irvine in the race), Belgium, and Europe were abysmal and forced Michael Schumacher back far too quickly.
The number one should be Heikki Kovalainen at Lotus in 2013. The guy was racing for backmarker teams for 3 years before he got the Lotus drive for 2 races replacing Kimi. And Lotus was a top team at the time. And not only that Heikki built up a good reputation by destroying Jarno Trulli which even led to team principals voting him as a top 10 driver in 2011. Then at Lotus while Grosjean was getting podiums, Kovalainen only managed a couple of 14th places. This is just embarassing really.
Paul Di Resta was an embarrassing stand-in for Massa at Williams made even worse by Sky's commentary team deciding "aw, you know what, he's done an excellent job under the circumstances." No, he was shit and there's no way you can sugar coat it!
McLaren was to blame for the failed partnership. They wouldn't build their car around the Honda engine, so Honda was forced to try and jam their engine in that narrow chassis.. The opposite at Red Bull.. Case and point.
It really wasn't fair for Badoer... Not even Fisichella managed to do any better in that car! That's how cars worked back then. If you didn't spent countless hours testing them and in the simulator, you couldn't drive them properly.
Me watching this video: "Magnussen crashed in practice and broke down before even starting the race. Sheesh, it can't be worse than that... There are two more places on this list?!"
At least Jenson got the opportunity to pee in Alonso's seat

I'm surprised you didn't mention that Kimi won in Belgium while Badoer finished last.
and that Badoer's replacement Fisichella came 2nd in Belgium, with what were the first ever points for Force India
There has to be some sympathy for Badoer’s plight. 2009 was his only racing opportunity in ten years…
André Lotterer deserved a second chance in a better car, one of the better drivers in Motorsport.
Did well on his only F1 lap
He could've driven more races for Caterham if he had wanted to, but he didn't feel like being there just to fill up the grid. Good on him.
Lotterer is likeable but he's not setting the world on fire in fe, tbh
J M he is a multiple time Le Mans winner, tho
Lotterer was a great driver in Motorsport. Decent and Consistent. He just lacked the car and determination i think 👍👍👍
Don't even need to watch the end of this video to know #1 is Luca Badoer

He wasn’t even an awful driver, that’s the sad thing. He had a good start at Valencia but that was as good as it got with ten years out of racing.

Heikki Kovalainen when he stood in for Kimi Raikkonen at the end of 2013 for Lotus
Hard disagree on Lotterer being included. The only bad thing about it was how Ericsson continued to gain employment anywhere despite being shown up.
Stephan Sarrazan stood in for a race at Prost, and binned it in a huge crash in Brazil, I think it was 99 or 00, if I remember right.
He drove for Minardi at that occasion, and out-qualified team mate Marc Gené by 0,6 seconds. I'd say he deserved a second chance.
Missed a chance to make it a family episode by including Jan Magnussen's debut for McLaren in 1995.
The number one should be Heikki Kovalainen at Lotus in 2013. The guy was racing for backmarker teams for 3 years before he got the Lotus drive for 2 races replacing Kimi. And Lotus was a top team at the time. And not only that Heikki built up a good reputation by destroying Jarno Trulli which even led to team principals voting him as a top 10 driver in 2011. Then at Lotus while Grosjean was getting podiums, Kovalainen only managed a couple of 14th places. This is just embarassing really.
other candidates Verstappen at Stewart and De La Rosa at Mclaren, standing out would be Zanardi and Mike Andretti.
Heikki Kovalainen 2013. 2 races.

No one like the Williams walrus nose. I liked it. I wished they all went that way.
As much as I like him-Paul di resta , Williams 2017
Paul Di Resta was an embarrassing stand-in for Massa at Williams made even worse by Sky's commentary team deciding "aw, you know what, he's done an excellent job under the circumstances." No, he was shit and there's no way you can sugar coat it!
What about di resta in hungary 2017?
Im really happy for Nico.
why did you leave autosport?
Narayan Kartikeya, Indian GP?
Didn’t realise I’m a pioneer viewer of this video
I was just waiting for Paul diresta in hungary
Mario Andretti's stand in at Ferrari in '82?although i dont think it ended badly.
Pole position, podium. Not too bad. His Williams drive though, that should have made the list.
McLaren was to blame for the failed partnership. They wouldn't build their car around the Honda engine, so Honda was forced to try and jam their engine in that narrow chassis.. The opposite at Red Bull.. Case and point.
Who's there after De Vries' great stand-in drive for Williams?
Not like Alonso was having any more fun over at Indy with THEIR Honda engine.
Andre Lotterer, what a chad
It really wasn't fair for Badoer... Not even Fisichella managed to do any better in that car! That's how cars worked back then. If you didn't spent countless hours testing them and in the simulator, you couldn't drive them properly.
Me watching this video: "Magnussen crashed in practice and broke down before even starting the race. Sheesh, it can't be worse than that... There are two more places on this list?!"
I'll be a stand-in F1 driver if you want
K-Mag should have had more of a chance at McLaren
I don't think that Davidson actually was that bad. And Badoer was destined to fail.
I was worried Kovalainen would be in the list...
when you realise davidson raced for 3 teams and scored 0pts
Haven’t been this early since Ferrari booted Vettel before the season started
Nigel Mansell's hopeless drives with McLaren come to mind
He wasn't a "stand-in", he actually was in theory hired as a titular driver. He was eventually fired because he couldn't fit in the car...
Paul De Resta - Hungarian GP 2017
Did extremely well given the circtumstances
@@MrSniperfox29 Absolutely but, for the sake of this video it's an example they could have included.
@@TheAxe1606 Possible, but well, well down the list.
Now George Russel at Mercedes is one
