He didn't get his super licence revoked after causing just one crash, the crash was the final straw. He was actually lucky he wasn't driving the year before, as his qualifying times were more than 107% of P1 in a couple of races, that used to be an automatic "pack your bags and go home", unless you got special dispensation from the other teams, which I doubt he would have got.

Keep in mind that the car itself was a 4-year old Arrows A23, adapted for the 2006 regulations (which in and of itself made it uncompetitive right off the bat) - not the ideal situation for a rookie driver to be in. Also, the team was created at the behest of Honda, who was looking to keep Sato on the grid after signing Barrichello and a contract wrangling that saw Jenson Button staying with the Brackley-based team (Button had signed a deal with Williams for 2006 before changing his mind). Ide wasn't a spring chicken either - he was 31 by the time the season opened in Bahrain, which by F1 standarts is too old for a rookie (for compairsion, Nico Rosberg was 20, while Scott Speed was 23).

Although he did cost Dixon a win over Franchitti with some dirt diving on making Dixon brake to avoid him and off setting the drafting sequence that would have probably seen Dixon back in the lead for the final lap.

IMHO langauge barrier in such high tier of technical line of competition, is huge setback and there's no excuse for that in Ide's side. If he himself didn't recognize the need for English knowledge, that's a problem of its own kind, but what about FIA? Candidates may fail to recognize their pre-requisites to qualify but there must be banal barriers of entry. How could anyone earn a super license while not meeting the absolute bare minimum requirement for teamwork in an international environment? Hell, this one is something even children from around the world could pass with ease.

I just wrote this as a comment, copying here bc I see how it relates to yours (even if 3mo old): I want to think of F1 like other pilots: airplanes. No matter the country they are from or their first language it is commonplace to learn English and dictate all procedures in English (English is not my first language either, but I recognize you gotta do what you gotta do). They can have small chat with each other in their language, but never over technical stuff. I remember working in Spain with Spanish pilots (F18) and the clear for take off and landing we would only speak in English. Some would think F1 has less dangers than an airplane or a jet, but that's not the case. Year after year we get reminded of how many more deaths occur on the road than up in the air... so why an organization like the FIA doesn't regard as mandatory 1 language (English in this case, I wouldn't matter if they decide on a different one) to talk real time with engineers and technicians, why do racing pilots wear an audio system with mic and headphones for then? Embarrassing, not for the poor Ide whose mental health might have been a mess (and to top that, being Japanese... it's not easy to talk about it), but for the federation.

In 1967 he qualified 16th out of 19 and in 1968, 17th out of 20, however, he didn't start the '68 race due to engine problems. Now Tom Jones, another Canadian, also entered the 1967 Canadian GP, which was his only GP entry, he was the slowest qualifier, but wasn't allowed to start as he was too slow.

If you really want to find the worst ever? It is probably somewhere in F1's first 10-15 years of existence. There were no formal race schools at the time, or even published books that talked about the racing line or driving techniques that were used in competition. Further, the barrier to entry was quite low. There were certainly multiple worst drivers on each and every grid over this time period, and maybe even a bit longer.

8:17 Before he joined the Super GT team Kunimitsu, Ide raced for team Nismo for a short period of time in 2006 (right after he was kicked out of F1), he was a guest driver for the No.23 Xanavi Nismo Z, along side with Tsugio Matsuda and Satoshi Motoyama. During the 1000km of Suzuka, he hit a GT300 Ford GT(No.55) on his first lap out of the pit, he was given a drive-through penalty for the incident. However Ide ignored the penalty and skipped the pit lane to continue driving, this would later cause the No.23 car to be given a black flag, then he managed to ignore the black flag again for multiple laps, resulting the team to be disqualified for the round. Team Nismo would eventually fail to win the season championship with a gap of 11pts behind the leader, the black flag in Suzuka was a total destroy on their attempts on winning the championship. Ide received a 300,000 yen fine for the action and Nismo fired him shortly after this.

I see why, But 1 thing that wasnt touched upon in his stint for Minardi, was the fact since the team was so hard up for cash they didnt give him power steering...(Something which Alonso and later Webber would get) Not saying he was anything special..he wasnt...but trust me not having power steering is an enormous disadvantage. Easily a good 6-7 tenths alone.

Though his times may have looked dreadful you really have to take into account the skill level F1 drivers are participating at before you pass any judgements. His car was slow, his team communication was stiffled by the language barrier, his car often suffered mechanical failure. He also entered into the realm late at 30 years old. It looks as though it was a perfect storm of misfortune as much as any fault of his own. I hope he went on to regain his full confidence as what happened with him there must have been truly crushing.

I blame the team. They clearly didn't respect him and their solution to the language problem was to ignore him. He's not the first driver to enter F1 and have a language barrier between himself and the team, but the difference is most teams find ways of dealing with it, like maybe an interpreter, rather than what this team did and ignore him. The team set him up to fail.
@alloftheexperts21118 ай бұрын
They did him dirty though, they put him in the slowest car, against a household name, and expected him to perform miracles. It was always going to end badly. All the other details that put him behind such as not speaking English only add insult to injury. I know of more than a handful of drivers that if put in the same situation the same thing would have happened if it wasn't for their financial backing... Some of them still have a seat today. I only feel sorry for him even though he did almost force Albers into early retirement if not worse. But as you said there's been drivers way more destructive and even WC material and WC's that almost put their colleagues in the grave. Most notably in very recent years Hamilton almost killed Verstappen at Silverstone and Verstappen almost killed Hamilton at Monza (Halo saved him) though battles in earlier years were worse than that if not at the same level.

About the language barrier. That amazes me so much that japanese don't learn english in schools. I had to learn swedish, german and english during my school year and add one more language, which for me was french. (Only couple of courses.) I asked my japanese friend why it was so and understood that in school years there is so much to learning in their own language, in three-part writing system especially. But they still have huge focus in english, and its their main focus during the school and pre-school years. You know, I never speak german or swedish in my daily life, but I would eventually catch up if I was surrounded by english speaking people. And I do not mean to spread hate, I LOVE and respect japanese culture and have been studying the language and history, but something in their school system is odd for me.

This is what happens when you take someone not ready for the role, and force them into the role. He struggled to stay afloat, and was even a victim of circumstance and the people that put him in that situation are to blame but ultimately, the sword landed on Ide because it was easier to point fingers at the guy behind the wheel.
