@@黃日恆-l1n You are underestimating Jos, he was a very talented driver. If he could have stayed a testdriver in 1994, instead of having to take JJ Lehto's seat. I really believe he would have had a very different career. Still, I personally loved every single race he was in, and going to Spa to see him race in 1994 was an absolute highlight.

[@davidmoore1253]

My conspiracy theory is that Bernie Ecclestone made them do it so Villeneuve could win the championship. Bernie brought Villeneuve to F1 to attract American viewers (who knew him from Indy) and it's obvious that having him win the championship would increase American attention. 1996 proved that Villeneuve wasn't good enough to beat Hill, so Hill had to go. But it's just a theory.

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

Yeah pretty Brutal story. Apparently Frank and Patrick pulled Damon into an office and said win or lose the Championship you won't be racing here next year. I remember Webber in his book saying that after his first year of a two year deal at Williams they pulled him in to have the same chat but said that seeing as they couldn't see a way out of releasing him from his (Flavio drafted) contract. They told him to the effect that they wanted him out but were stuck with him for another year. Not the the way to get the best out of people...

He went on to almost becoming CART champion in 2000, one of the most under-rated drivers ever.

Quallyfing the 92Andrea Moda in Monaco was almost impossible, he did it.

[@arthurcorassini]

Moreno deserved better, he proved to be a very good driver, just got the worst equipment and when he got into benetton, he got a podium. In CART he was really good also, i just think that he was at the wrong teams at the wrong time, after all, he qualified a Andrea Moda Car.

[@EmyrDerfel]

If you pay any attention to F1 feeder series, you may have heard of Arden International. That's Christian and Garry Horner's team. They raced in F3000/GP2/F2 until 2019, plus GP3, Formula Renault, F4 and their equivalents. Dan Tiktum, Jack Aitken, Anthoine Hubert (RIP), Maximillian Gunther, Edo Mortara, Da Costa, Mitch Evans, Sainz Jr, Kvyat, Buemi, Perez, Alexander Rossi (Indy 500 winner), Bruno Senna, Kovalainen, Liuzzi, all Arden alumni. Oh, and Jolyon Palmer.

[@DominikMaslyk]

Emyr Derfel It’s kind of a funny thing for Sainz Jr. and Kvyat considering they both ran in Red Bull’s sister team Scuderia Toro Rosso (Former name, now Scuderia AlphaTauri), although Kvyat did have a stint in RBR before he did get kicked down into STR.

@@meodreadgaming4084 Mazzacane wasn't even that bad, meaning what he lacked in pace (Qualifying in particular), got nullified by reliability,, his only dnf's were mechanical retirements. And for teams like Minardi saving on repairs was a relevant matter. For Prost too probably, but the French team knowed that they needed someone faster to capitalize occasions for points, so they fired him after 4 races for Burti, contract specifically stated that they had rights to do it if Mazzacane would not deliver results. The guy simply didn't have the talent, just an huge smile, and passion (I remember a race under rain when he had a scuffle with Hakkinen and was third in one moment of the race, and got a mechanical failure as a result of his efforts).

[@JohnSmith-mk5jt]

Scott Speed is fairly famous here in the states, but not for his Formula 1 career. He competed in 118 NASCAR races from 2008 to 2013, where he only managed one top 5 and four top 10s. Keep in mind that he spent 76 of those races from 2008-2010 with the Red Bull Racing team, which was by no means a top tier NASCAR team, but was relatively competitive and was able to garner a handful of wins in their short lifespan from 2007-2011. His one top 5 came at Richmond International Raceway in 2009, where he magically got a runner-up finish. From 2012-2013, he'd run 29 races with Leavine Family Racing and a couple other backmarker teams. In that timespan, his only statistic was a singular top 10 at Talladega in 2013. While he did find some success in NASCAR's lower series, including 4 wins in the ARCA Menards series and one win in the Gander Outdoors truck series, he was most known for being the worst driver on Red Bull's NASCAR team who had no trouble finding his way to the outside wall.

[@alexm9479]

The editing and animations on these is *on point* !!!

[@lukaku20wba]

There's a term in Horse Racing that can answer the last point about Rosset and Jan Magnussen, it's called collateral form. On the face of it, Magnussen's results look extraordinary until you realise the field he was competing against in that generation simply wasnt up to much. Many drivers have suffered this, Stoffel Vandoorne looked the world in GP2, until you realise the field he was competing against was fairly average. Leclerc, Norris, Russell, Albon all competed against the same F2 field more or less in back to back years and walked it, but we know how good they are because the field in those years was a very good marker.

[@NIKOLAP7]

He failed to qualify for the 1998 Monaco Grand Prix, he spun at Mirabeau but managed to keep going. He spun again before the Pit Lane entrance and miraculously didn't hit anything and kept the engine running. But when he attempted to recover, he got stuck on kerb. Aftet that incident, the team finally had enough of him and his antics, and reportedly one of the mechanics swapped the letters T and R on his scooter to spell the name "TOSSER".

[@meodreadgaming4084]

It is exceedingly weird to watch this videos (which is a highlight of my day) where drivers in the 90s got outqualified by unremarkable teammates by 2 seconds yet we still think current drivers are the worst to ever be on an F1 grid. It's insanity. I'd love one on Gaston Mazzacane, a ridiculous farce of an F1 seat that makes Ricardo Rosset at least before F1 look like a legit prospect.

[@boheyo]

If you get a lappin' from a Vershtappen it had better be Max.

True! There isn't a single driver on the grid that is more than a second slower than Max or Lewis. I'm not sure how much Mazepin would lose to them by but it wouldn't be 2 seconds.

In his defense he got one real season (2000) as 99 was a joke. He had some really solid performances, Q in Austria for example. And then just faded away. Not overly sure why given he was teaming with a world champion (even if JV is one of the more disrespected champs) and supposedly provided excellent data for the development of BAR. A bit of a missed gem perhaps.
