Formula 1's worst drivers EVER!

[alonso 4ever]

This is from history but i liked it so much! very funny (this is taken from F1 racing magazine)

One of these men once finished a grand prix 43 laps behind the winner (i really wonder what he was doing, lol)

another could barely get within 30 seconds of pole position.

then there was the chap who managed to have a shunt with the safety car (amazing, lol)

1. Al Pease: he finished one of his GPs 43 laps down and was black-flagged in his other start becoz he was very slow (great driver!)

2. Otto Stuppacher: his best lap at the Glen was 27.448 secs (just over 126%) of the pole time.. In Canada, he was extra slow and stewards advised him it might be wise not to continue!!

3.Giovanni Lavaggi: of the 10 F1 races he started, only once was he anything other than last. over the first 4 races in 1995, his total aggregate gap to pole was 39.85 secs.. then he came back in 1996 but there was a 107% rule, he faild to qualify 3 times (out of 6 races)

4. Taki Inoue: he was hit by the course car in Monaco, then wiped out by a marshal's car in Hungray which he failed to spot the car stopping on the grass next to his retired car!!

5. Yuji Ide: at Imola, he tagged Christijan Albers' Spyker and pitched him into a barrel roll. the team dropped him "following advice received from the FIA"

who's your best (worst) of the list??!!

On saying that at least he didnt hit the safety car unlike a certain driver

[icegirljenni]

Nothing worse than Alex yoong.

That list has a terrible flaw it didnt include the worst possible of them all, Pig shamilton.

[icegirljenni]

We dont talk about list of pig, pig is worse we all know in another term. But the worse this topic were having a different meaning. Alex were too slow and he dont even qualified for qualifying remember? thats call worse.

I think Nick Heidfeld actually showed great sikll and car controll that in that clip. He came into the corner fast dont know if he was on race speed, but he was fast in there and medical car was sitting on the race line.
Nick still got got the car over and only hit the door. A driver with less car control could have slamed right into the side of the medical car.

In terms of the worst "driver" ever no way should Schumacher or Hamilton for that matter be in consideration.

No need to let personal feelings affect your decisions

[maranellored]

Christijian Albers was awful, and Jos Verstappen.

Anyone remember Estaban Tuero??? Now HE was DANGEROUS!!!!!

Shoelicker yes, but shamilton? There are so many level headed reasons why the fart is technical;y and skill wise totally useless against real good drivers.

Remember it is not impossible for a common man with practice to lap within 1-2 seconds of these guys its that final 1 second that comes after years of experience, talent and most importantly team support with the right equipment that makes the difference. And team support when the car is good can make even the most average F1 driver win titles. This is after all a technology driven sport. Driver skill is very limited in input if you don't have the right machinery.

Any title winning team has always had both of their drivers win races, why is that? Its simple they have the car to do it, it is not directly related to how good they are against each other or over the rest of the drivers. And if somebody never won anything that year when their teammates did more regularly then it points to mattera out of their control. Such as lack of reliability, New rookie to F1 or the most standard realities like team bias al la Mclaren Ferrari etc.

Add Tiago Monteiro to the list. He drove like somebody picked up from the random crowd after being given 200 laps of practice to qualify into F1.

[alonso 4ever]

hahaha...

that is funny...

i have to see some vids about all that

[Jam_Van_Dam]

Monteiro has a podium finish to his name

Sadly he was pretty proud of himself

Wimps who cant earn it by real effort will always be shamelessly proud of small deeds.

Very true..........

Tiago is actually a much better commentator than driver.......which brings me to Mark Blundell, Martin Brundle and Johnny Herbert. Now, I know one of them won a GP (by default) but saying you raced with Senna does NOT make you a good F1 driver.

You are posting this news on worst ever driver thread? I am surprise.

You can post non F1 related to General Chit Chat thread. Your news are not related to the topic unless you mean Kimi is the worst driver.

[Tension_36th]

These idiots writing the crap talk wont be so glee, when they find their beloved color pimping monkey drink sweat for water having Kimi as teammate.
