Breaching 107% would almost always give you a DNQ, but anything under would almost guarantee you a grid spot. Nice burn on the Lettuce.

Nice video, i think that in fairness to Ide he was a victim of circumstance in that could not speak English and had next to no testing and delvlopment time, the fact that he has some pretty decent results in Japan shows that he is infact pretty good

Regarding super licences, wasn't Senna's also (temporarily) revoked some time after the 1989 Japanese GP? So, technically, Yuji Ide partly matched a three-time world champion.

Anytime I read old endurance or touring results I've always found names at the top that made me think "wait, didnt this guy suck?" because I've only known them from being in a back of the grid team in F1, the preparation and style adjustment required certainly isn't for everyone, as well as having sponsors rich enough to secure you a spot on a team that does not have a leafblower for an engine. I think you've done a video on this, but if you didht...

About Villeneuve in Japan 97; he raced under appeal and finished 5th after Ferrari outsmarted Williams, arguably JV's head wasn't in it. After the race, Williams dropped the appeal and Villeneuve was disqualified. Had JV been allowed to keep his points from Suzuka, Michael hitting him in the wrong place at Jerez wouldn't have happened, since Michael needed to finish ahead of JV. Maybe JV would have overshot the corner instead, who knows. Williams probably dropped the appeal out of fear for missing the last race. Ironically, speeding under yellow flags will only get you a three place grid drop nowadays. It's a good thing penalties aren't as harsh anymore. I remember Ralf getting a stop and go for crossing the pit lane exit line!

As a follow on to that vid, and to follow onto the current batch of US teams/drivers talks joining F1, it would be interesting to find out how many (if any) drivers have been refused a super licence by the FIA after meeting/almost the criteria points? I.e. Colton Herta last, a year or 2 I think.

11:58 - Assuming Ide had got as much (or more) testing than Sato, I still think he would have been the worst driver that year. The Super Aguri was just painfully slow. Sato, for all his F1 experience struggled to challenge even the Midlands rookies. He would have been the equivalent of someone like Mazepin in 2021. Slower than Mick and no one close to either of them to give a fair comparison. I could still see Suzuki dropping him at the end of the year for a (then untrialled) younger Yamamoto, or eventual signing Anthony Davidson.

He goes to Formula Dream (think wings and slicks Formula Fords) He finally wins Japanese F3 in a top Mugen ride in 2000, 7 years after his initial debut. He finishes 5th in 2001. He came 7th in French F3 in 2002, 6th in Euro F3 cup the same year. He then went to Formula Nippon from 2003-2005. 7th, 3rd, 2nd, but then falls off a cliff, never winning or finishing on the podium again. He last appeared there in 2010. Very strange career.
