Was Alessio Deledda really THAT bad?

Alessio Deledda gained a reputation over the last few years and...it wasn't great. People have slammed for ages - including myself. But was he really THAT bad a driver? Or were we too harsh on the dude?

I took a couple of things out of this video. First that I can't begrudge someone trying to follow a childhood dream that was denied to then, especially if that someone is well aware they'll never make it to the top. And second, that the FIA should probably introduce a points licensing system for F2 to filter out those that shouldn't really be anywhere near those cars. Actually they should probably revamp the license points system in its entirety. The fact that drivers like Pato O'Ward or Colton Herta don't have enough points for F1, yet drivers like Deledda or Lord Mahaveer can just waltz into the tier immediately below is a 'yoke'.

Looking at Deledda’s performance, it just puts into perspective how bloody brilliant Damon Hill was to even be a “weak” WDC with a similarly late start to racing

[@redcoatgaming4141]

Wait Damon "Got a shit box of an arrows to a p2 finish in Hungary which was one lap away from being one of the greatest wins in f1 history" Hill is considered a weak WDC

[@Cabarkin]

@@redcoatgaming4141 Yeah, Hill was considered to be immensely inferior to Michael Schumacher and therefore weak. What didn't help was an abysmal year at Jordan when Frentzen was a title outsider. 1998 was decent, but Ralf Schumacher looked pretty good against Hill as well. The whole "it's the car, not the driver"-thing. Hungary 1997 was seen as a great drive, also made possible by the Bridgestones, as Trulli also nearly won in a Prost that year on the A1-Ring, which was very much a Bridgestone-track. However, Hill didn't deserve this disrespect. Being inferior to Michael Schumacher is okay, that's literally one of the best, if not the best driver to have ever lived. Also, Hill started racing so late that it's insane that he was still as good as he ended up being. He debuted in his 30s in F1. That hints at his innate talent being insanely high. If he had a conventional racing career, who knows how good he would've been. In terms of pure talent, he might've been one of the most talented racing drivers of all time without too many people actually knowing about it.

Deledda was just slow, and that’s kinda the whole story. On a side note, I think Codemasters had some fun with his AI in the F1 game.

[@theodentherenewed4785]

Somebody has to pay the bills. I understand why it happens even in F1 (Mazepin) or WRC (Greensmith). There need to be underperforming pay drivers for motorsport to survive in its current shape. In a lot of motorsport series, there are teams just existing to get by and they need rich drivers, who can't have a seat on merit. For example, Lando Norris comes from an affluent family, but he makes money instead of spending them to race. Drivers like Deledda are an essential part of the existing motorsport organization. It's a surprise that he went as far up as F2, but it's just comes down to him being delusional about his possibilities to have a career in single seaters. Most pay drivers are more reasonable and pick an environment, in which they have some chances for success.

What a lovely way to sum up the end of the video.

[@hinglemccringleberry8193]

I think alessio is a perfect example of the story of most motor sports fans. The desire to race without the means to do so. The big difference, is he didn’t give up

[@thedonsz9186]

Josh saying "I'm starting to see a pattern here" while showing the same clip for the 3rd time is so funny to me

[@jamesorourke21]

Great video again Will we get a WTF happened to Eddie Irvine? As an Irishman i'd love to see it

[@jorisfries7595]

Man will race in DTM this year, a shame to see him here in germany because DTM is actually good but now...

[@Narmatonia]

If you're doing it for the love of it that's fine, but that fact that he kept promoting himself again and again, despite being the worst performing driver each year screams of an overactive ego. As for the video debacle, even if he weren't driving, the fact that he uploaded it shows that at minimum he thinks that kind of behaviour is admirable, which is worthy of criticism on its own.

[@Ponch_ITK]

I haven't seen Josh this mad over someone since the DTM video

[@Da_Osta]

On the DTM Race last Saturday (Norisring 2022 Race 1) he again had a massive Deledda moment...

[@ashokathegreat4534]

Alessio Deledda 2021 F2 season: 0 points Mahaver Ragunathan 2019 F2 season: 1 point Mahaveer> Alessio lol

[@anthonymcmillen7518]

What an excellence video. All perspectives shown respectively.👍

[@kianolner3818]

And we’re still stuck with Roy Nissany who’s pretty much the love child of Deledda and Raghunathan.

[@jackkeithley4934]

Loving the Terrance and Phillip look at 2:50! 😁

[@llamaking6397]

I love the Goodfellas reference at the end lol

[@BDeLuca4444]

“Heya, Ima the besta drivera in the worlda, ima gonna make you eata a ball haira pizza-a. muncha muncha” - Alessio (Dom Deluise) Deledda

[@charllegler]

Yes. Thanks for watching

[@LightsOutLow]

loved the call out to Goodfellas at the end!

[@michaelhughes6583]

just a guy living his dream. to only be a couple of seconds of drivers racing their whole life and this guy started in his twenties is pretty good to be fair

[@andrewwinslow9315]

after watching the video, I hope the dude can be good in GT. Or maybe, NASCAR.

[@anthonymolina7416]

IN Nascar he may have a chance at trucks or xfinty but not cup

[@Evarakeus]

He'd be ass in NASCAR lol, he'd find himself in the wall every qualy I guarantee

[@anthonymolina7416]

@@Evarakeus He wouldn’t qualify lol

[@StuffAndMore]

he did a round of Lamborghini GT Cup series so hopefully he moves across to there seems more his speed

[@sagastim]

Can you make a video about Marino Sato? Or Amaury Cordeel?

[@ToxicFrostbite]

🤣🤣 this might be your funniest video yet. That was awesome

[@Daniel-qy4di]

I really respect him. He amassed wealth, chased his dreams, and achieved them. Goat Fr

[@krzysztofzwolinski956]

10:42 which went well (You've read it with Clarkson voice)

[@jayd2517]

If I had his money I would 100% go racing but I know my place and go racing in a domestic GT series. They have classes to cater for guys like him!! I'd love to know your views on Sophia Floersch.

[@mikeymike1792]

I see your point about him just realising his dream, but there are other ways of doing that. Stepping up to F2 isn't the way. Go into touring cars, or GT racing. Try your hand at privateer rallying, or stay in a national level feeder series. It'll be cheaper, and you'll probably have a much better time, because you'll be able to compete a bit more.

[@Bladdabad]

This guy drives like i do in f1 2021

[@Dagelijksauto]

2:03 is the perfect song for Italy, good choice! And not only because I used the exacte same one for a Fiat 500E video😬...

[@3jeno14]

This guy basically started racing with one foot out the door

[@maxadler98]

Damn, really had to hit me with that Bills reference did you?

[@MrMagicalManatee]

4:08 legitimately made me spit my coffee, you **** 😂

[@danort17]

As an autograph collector, I'm quite proud to have a card with his autograph on it, ngl :D

[@averagerallyenjoyer9927]

i recognise that karting track in the footage went there a couple weeks ago

[@DGARedRaven]

Deladda might just be a perfect candidate for GT PRO-AM. Make out of that what you will.

[@evetoyoumwah]

I feel like I've never heard Josh this animated.

[@warzoneruinedcodforever8704]

Josh what song was that in the second half of the video?

[@sekaniserieux8934]

That burn was so sick I rewatched the video

[@thelittleowl1]

Josh you gotta make one for cordeel at the end of the year.
