Formula One has always seen the best drivers in the world battle it out to be the very best... well most of the time... Every now and then someone slips through the net and becomes a menace to the rest of the sport for a year or two... here's my list for the top ten worst drivers to reach F1, focusing on the sports modern era from 2000 onwards...

Goatifi was bad in Formula 1 but really didn’t belong in this list. He did far better than the rest of the list and it’s not even close. Honestly I miss him on the grid because he was a nice dude and funny and when he spun or crashed he rarely took out other drivers - just caused a safety car and made the race bunch up and be more interesting. Goatifi we won’t forget what you did to make F1 fun again!

I kinda feel like he went for drivers that had something you could actually point to in order to say they earned a shot on the F1 grid. A notion that becomes suspect by the inclusion of Nikita Mazepin, but you can rightly point to the fact that he had to win multiple F2 races to earn enough SL points to be allowed onto the grid, which happens to be one of only two positive things you can accurately say in relation to him(the other being that he's mercifully gone from the grid), so my feeling does add up. The only one that actually breaks out of this is old man Nissany, who only seems to have been included because everyone in the world forgets he was ever in an official F1 session.

Maldonado was a fair bit better than a lot of people think. He was similar to groesjean in a lot of ways, inconsistent and crash prone, but still fast many times. I think he would have been better off as an honorable mention rather than on the list proper.

I think recency bias played a part here, because I don't think Latifi and De Vries deserve to be there and while it might been fair to say Maldonado was a bad driver, he was still a race winner, so he do not qualify to be called a "worst driver", there's been only 133 Race winner and he is one of them and being a race winner is not something that is easy to accomplish without merits.

Having Maldonado on the list basically making this video falls into the tier of "not a lot of critical thinking". Even in his worst scoring seasons at 2013 and 2014 season, he had a 11-8 record over teammate Bottas (2013) and 8-8 over Grosjean (2014). If it's a list of "annoying" drivers to drive against, I won't argue with that. But as it's a list of "worst" drivers, having Maldonado there is not "controversial", it's straight up "incorrect".

Whilst I agree, when he kept it out of the wall he was quick. And as I said in the video, he had pace. But when you balance that with how many times he threw it in the wall… at the end of the day it comes down I think to how to define “worst” be it from a pace perspective, crashing and consistency, or the level of disappointment given their junior career.

Luca Badoer was actually a fast talented racer.He was unlucky with the teams he raced with .

@tobbsnobb1366 10 ай бұрын

people gave a bit too much praise for Nycks point scoring in Williams It was at Monza, the track where top speed is key and through the entire season we knew that the Williams was only good in a straight line. It wouldve been a completely different story at lets say Hungary. Albon most likely wouldve picked up the points regardless if it wasnt for his medical condition. That and Nyck didnt help himself with the expectations before the season even began

11:47 if it werent for the past 23 year thing I think we would all agree that the worst driver was that guy in the 50’s who was only able to move 6ft off the starting grid

Badoer wasn’t that bad…he was tester for Ferrari and in 1999 when he clearly better then salo , Ferrari decided to not bring him in. In 2009 he was that bad cause he had no experience with that car !

Channoch Nissany is to Roy Nissany as a roasting-in-his-cockpit Jos Verstappen is to Max. 😄 EDIT: At least Lord Mahaveer was able to get out of his cockpit in his F1 test, that's a million negative points to Channoch.

"He's better at it than you" has never been, and never will be, a valid response to someone who is criticizing another. Not having a given capability/talent oneself does not mean one is incapable to looking at how a group of people stack up against each other and figuring out who is the most/least capable/talented among them. Criticizing such things on the basis of the person doing it not being as good as even the worst of the people being looked at might as well be saying, "I hate that you put someone on this list but I have no valid basis to disagree with it."

Wil, you should do a *Top 10 Worst F1 Drivers of All Time* video; and I'll give you one driver who deserves to be in that list: *Olivier Grouillard.* He was known for pissing off just about everyone he ever races against, by ignoring blue flags. He was a moving pylon, who failed to grasp the concept that when you're being lapped by the leaders, you need to let them pass you when you're shown blue flags. He was so bad, it was hilarious! One of the most ignoble F1 drivers I've ever seen.

@gemellimusic931 10 ай бұрын

Paul Belmondo should be in that list too

Oh good grief, anyone unfamiliar with Grouillard should listen to the comments the late, great Murray Walker issued about him during race commentary. Walker would certainly vouch for Grouillard as a candidate.

I don't think Latifi deserves to be on this list, he wasn't good by any means, but he wasn't that horrible either. I wouldn't have put him on there anyway, I never understood the unbridled hatred of the man, while he wasn't the quality of driver to be in F1 he wasn't that horrible or dangerous like some of the drivers on this list either.

Maldonado here is a bit harsh. I wouldn't even count Chanoch Nissany on this list, as he only tested and never attempted to qualify or race in a race weekend. That being said, some awful drivers who should be on this list or get dishonourable mentions should include: Ricardo Zonta, Pedro Diniz (one full season in 2000 before disappearing, got comfortably beaten by his team-mate Salo), Gaston Mazzacane, Luciano Burti, Tomas Enge, Enrique Bernoldi, Allan McNish (great sportscar driver, thrashed by Salo in his one F1 season), Anthony Davidson (good sportscar driver, horrid F1 career), Ralph Firman, Nicolas Kiesa (finished all 5 races he started at least, nowhere near the points and behind his team-mate Jos Verstappen in all of them), Giorgio Pantano. Gianmaria Bruni (decent sportscar driver, nowhere near F1 quality), Patrick Friesacher, Scott Speed, Sakon Yamamoto and Nelson Piquet Jr. (that 2nd in 2008 German GP was more the team than him).

No Nelson Piquet Jr? I think he earned it in Singapore 2008, even allowing for his lucky podium in Germany.

Maldonado was quick in quali, he just lacked awarenes in race conditions. Goatifi managed to get something out of really bad cars. He got more points than Gutiérrez in less races.

@jasonodlin8305 10 ай бұрын

For all his errors, doing a disservice to Maldonado as a grand prix winner to put him on the list when the likes of Gaston Mazzacane, Tarso Marques, Sakon Yamamoto, Lucas Di Grassi and more don't make the list. Pretty much anyone who has made it into the points has got themselves out of the bottom 10

@alejandrogil2208 2 ай бұрын

Di Grassi? Just cause he raced for Virgin? Are you actually dumb?

@GerritsRem 2 ай бұрын

Nyck de Vries only looked bad cause they compared everything he did with his point scoring finish. But the sad truth was: the car sucked harder then the year before and ricciardo DID NOT do better for quite a few races either. Also the comparison with Maldonado makes no sense i am suprised to this day that (because it happened in the Williams) NOBODY ever talks about the fact that of all cars Williams won that year. That of ALL people Madonado won that race. That before he was even done with the podium celebration his ENTIRE pitbox burned down. And NOBODY ever found that suspicious.

I think Nick De Vries problem is just lack of adaptation. He just didn't have the same DNA with the new car system which lead to him being not in a good form. The same lack of adaptation problem for example happened to Seb Vettel after 2013 season with the new regulations that turned out to be the limit that ended his brilliant career. It is like changing from Roland Garros to Wimbledon in tennis. Both are great tournaments in tennis but each one needs different skills and in each one there are special type of players that would flourish.

It's a good thing you took 2000 as the cutoff point, the 90's were atrocious, especially when the 107% rule wasn't in place. If your mechanics rearrange the letters of your name to spell 'tosser' (Riccardo Rosset), you know you must be bad.
