[@MetalHeadReacts]

@@starspangledhiker Lance has, in an 8 year career in F1, been outperformed by EVERY team mate. Sergei Sirotkin? Does anyone remember him? His first teammate at williams? Out performed him by miles, yet he's not in F1 any more because spoiled little rich kid and the threat of daddy stroll withdrawing funding if they didn't keep him. In F3 he only won a championship because of team orders to appease daddy stroll so they could keep their funding. If any other driver, over an 8 year career had the same lack of results Lance has, they'd have been kicked out of F1 LONG ago. The ONLY reason Lance is in F1 is because of Daddy buying him his own team. His podium finishes and poles have come entirely from luck not skill. He is an awful driver.

Hello to anyone reading, i just want to remind you that God loves you. No matter your past. He’s ready and willing to forgive you, whether you don’t know him, believe in him, or even hate him. His love for you stretches far beyond human knowledge. He loves you hence why he gave up his only son on that cross so that you may recieve grace and mercy (as said in John 3:16!). We love you, and so does God. Stay safe and Stay Blessed. Have a blessed year everyone! I pray this year will only be the beginning of your bright future!❤️❤️

[@food223]

honestly respect the guy a lot because of how he doesnt take himself too seriously, even if he wasnt very good at the racing part which is the main part

[@turdle837]

Id say he was simply an idiot. Not taking yourself seriously is one thing, but being danger to yourself and others on track while being borderline incompetent, over and over again, over the span of years, for that youd have to be delusional or simply a complete moron.

[@blacklotus561]

Morbidelli getting a Podium with that ... "car" is outstanding

Not really outstanding considering roughly cars 7 cars finished that race. Such was the attrition rate, that Lamy in the Minardi finished 6th. With that said, Morbidelli did comfortably beat Blundell's McLaren.

Slowest racer has to be Al Pease, the only driver to be disqualified for being too slow

[@gilbokhan]

To be *slightly* fair to Al Pease, though: he was driving a car three years out of date, that (if F1Rejects are to be believed) had literally been dragged out of a museum to take part in the race. Didn't justify him interfering with cars dozens of laps ahead of him, but the lack of pace wasn't all down to him.

This is exactly what I came here to say, after I saw Mazepin listed BELOW Inoue. Mazepin was definitely really bad, but Inoue is objectively worse. The only way Inoue has Mazepin beat is in his attitude/sense of humor.

[@Kualinar]

So... 5 crashes. Pilot failure. 2 gear box failure that where probably from miss shifting and staying in the wrong gear for to long. Pilot failure. 2 engine blowout, probably from staying in lower gear to much. Pilot failure. 1 transmission failure... Well... See above.

[@Flying_fisher]

I don't really understand, I saw they said that in the video but wtf is the difference of a gearbox and transmission? A gearbox is like 95% of the transmission.

[@Kualinar]

@@Flying_fisher The transmission is everything between the engine and the wheels : Clutch, gear box, differential and half shafts.

[@PsychoStreak]

Honestly, can't fault him for using his negotiating skills and money to chase the dream. But for all the negotiating prowess, he managed to land with some of the worst teams in F1 History at their lowest points. For as bad as he was driving, that 1995 season was just cursed. And at least he freely acknowledges he wasn't very good, and has a sense of humor about it. Still, he was never wasting a seat in a good car, and he never had to have his dad buy the team to retain his seat.

[@guypainter]

At least he wasn't a danger to anyone but himself, unlike Grosjean who spent his entire F1 career trying to kill people.

This highlights society in general. Money makes things happen. Personality gets you money. Skill gets you a little money, but mostly affects how fast you loose it.

Didn't make much impact in F1 but I think he could have been a fairly good sports car racer had he continued.

He switched to becoming a Japanese driver manager, which I think is hard for anyone to argue he definitely has a genuine talent for.
