The best F1 documentary you've never heard of

When you think of classic F1 documentaries, names like Senna, Schumacher, Mansell, Villeneuve, Pironi and now Brawn GP come to mind.
Yet while Keanu Reeves was leading the Disney-backed Brawn tale into its glitzy existence, in the shadows another famous, or should that be infamous, story of a short-lived F1 team was getting a much lower-profile release without the help of a streaming giant.
That's right - there's a PROPER documentary all about the shambolic Andrea Moda team, that somehow qualified for the Monaco Grand Prix in 1992, before being kicked out of F1 before the end of the season when its team boss was arrested in the paddock.
This is the story of that film, how it came into existence, and why you should watch it.
And just to be clear - THIS IS NOT AN AD! We're just doing this because we liked it so much (having paid to watch it ourselves, no free copies here) and we want to support an independent project.

Roberto Moreno is a Formula One hero. His whole career is essentially him being stuck in absolutely woeful machinery and driving the shit out of them. But what’s really making me want to watch this documentary is that they managed to interview Sassetti himself. That in itself is just incredible.

Roberto Moreno got my attention in the early 1980s by winning Australia's premier GP race (pre-international GP series) 3 times, against highly rated opposition. I've always been flabbergasted by the way the top F1 teams did their best to ignore him.

@brianvogt8125 6 ай бұрын

@@simonkevnorris The only driver to get a full season with Benetton in 1991 was ex-champion Nelson Piquet who finished 6th in the WDC. Roberto Moreno got only the first 11 races before being displaced by the promising newbie Michael Schumacher who fared no better in the remaining 5 races.

@simonkevnorris 6 ай бұрын

@@brianvogt8125 I recall watching those races - Formula Pacific I believe. I think one year they had Lauda. Just checked - 1982 Prost, Laffite, Piquet, Moreno and Alan Jones, 1983 Moreno and Alan Jones, 1984 Keke Rosberg, Lauda, Andrea De Cesaris and Moreno. So, Roberto had some decent competition (even just based on the international racers). The local drivers included Alfredo DeCostanzo, John Bowe and Paul Radisich.

I rented it and watched it. It was not what I expected at all. I thought it would be a solemn technical analysis of the biggest disaster F1 had seen at that time. Instead, it was more like watching a bunch of friends fondly reminiscing about a silly time in their lives. It was a good watch and an important one for die hard F1 fans who want to understand what really goes on in the sport.

@CMK1097 6 ай бұрын

I'm from Italy, Marche. Sassetti was born 20km away from where I live, my father did actually know who he was even before he got into F1. Such a shame I found out about this project just now because they did an event two days ago in a cinema 15 minutes away from me! I'm definitely going to watch the documentary

One of the drivers not mentioned in this video, but is in Josh Revel's second video on Andrea Moda, is Enrico Bertaggia. He, like Alex Caffi was initially hired by Andrea Sessetti for 1992, but resigned as the team was nowhere near prepared (as they were trying to run Colonies that weren't their's and their Simtek designed cars weren't ready). However, after Mccarthy initially had his Super Licence confiscated, Bertaggia contacted Sessetti again, this time with significant financial backing to try and replace Mccarthy, but with the future Top Gear Stig secure in the seat due to an FIA ruling that said a team could only have 4 drivers over a season, the only way to replace Mccarthy would be if he was forced to resign, hence the almost comical lengths the team went to in order to try and get him to resign (like letting him oversleep at his hotel in Spain, not giving him a proper seat in Monaco, sending him out on wet tyres on a dry track at Silverstone, sending him out for qualifying with 45 seconds of qualifying remaining in Hungary and having a dangerously defective steering column fitted to his car in Spa)

Back when anyone who could bring something rules compliant could just show up and take a shot, unlike today where you can have everything ready for a competitive factory team and still have the teams spending months dragging their feet as they debate if the massive reputation hit and high risk of legal action is worth it to say "no"

@rafleggy2fast486 5 ай бұрын

The documentary is great, although, like Glenn said, it's a little weird how they didn't talk about the financial part at all. Why all the unpaid bills etc, and even what happened to Caffi, how McCarthy came along etc. One little content warning for folks heading over to Vimeo to watch is, well, that among all the amazing footage at Monaco, they also opted to include some "onboard footage" that is basically modded Assetto Corsa with lots of filters. I think a CW message would be good to help less knowledgeable folks identify that but it was a dip in the quality of the documentary. Don't get me wrong though, it's an amazing piece of video and I had tons of fun watching it, reliving early-90s F1 with tons of footage I never thought I'd see! Highly recommend it.

Thx for the heads up. One other that should be seen is F1’s Most Horrific Crashes here on YT, it’s hard to watch at times as they got access to some amazing old crash footage but it’s well done and presents a difficult subject in a respectful way. It’s also a great history lesson on F1. It’s 3 hours in total with the first 90 minute part crashes that didn’t kill the driver and second part that just landed dealing with crashes where driver died.

There was a time when anybody could enter F1 if they put a team together, because they didn't even have to qualify. That isn't very sporting though. They want to make sure the teams that enter are competitive.
