@rikpatra4578 alonso, 58, stroll 14. Now, for comparison, Franco Colapinto 4 points, in only his second of 9 races. And let's be honest here, A) he drives a williams car that he has only driven once before actually taking part in an f1 race. B) he didn't LUCK into getting those 4 points. He raced like (well, I was going to say lewis, but maybe that's a bit far-fetched). But you get the point. And C) he was driving a williams, one of the most under funded teams on the grid. Stroll, on the other hand, drives a car for a team that has just agreed to pay newey 30 million dollars [a year]. So clearly, they don't have a problem with funding. Junior, if you can believe this, has finished outside of the points no less than 11 times this season alone. Junior doesn't deserve the drive he has and the ONLY reason he's there is because of who his dad is. The biggest reason otmar szafnauer was replaced was because he suggested that junior should be replaced once too often! Or at least that's the rumour. Junior is taking up a seat that a far better driver would do better in. Perhaps even Colapinto himself should be offered the seat for next year!
Yeah, her seat was finally taken over by Damon Hill, who went on becoming a World Champion only four years later. And surprise surprise, he.did not qualify the car in his first three attempts either.
I remember reading Autosport at the time she was in F1 and thinking "how on earth is this allowed?"

I thought "and when exactly did that happen?"
@@jameshogan6142 She got nothing. She tried to qualify for the first three races of the 1992 season and failed in all of these attempts. So she didn't even start a race in the first place. And these three attepmts were the only three times she drove a car during the race weekend.
@@AlejjSi She certainly was not a frontrunner for sure although I have seen race venues down the years where even established drivers were precluded from starting because their cars were not competitive enough in qualifying. She was undoubtedly talented in a modest way but did not have the determination or ingenuity of someone like Lauda who knew how to get the best out of his equipment.
Even though she was pretty bad, she was in no way the worst driver to ever drive (since she never got to race) in F1. The worst driver to ever drive a F1 was Chanoch Nissany, an Israeli millionaire who bought a seat to test drive a Minardi in 2005. He spun after a few laps, and couldn't even unlock his seat belt, so when the car was picked by a crane to return it to the pits Chanoch was still inside. And the worst to actually race in F1 was Al Pease, who contested the Canadian GP in 1967, 68 and 69. In 1967 he finished 43 laps (yes, no typo) behind winner Jack Brabham. In 1968 his engine failed before the start. But in 1969 he got to race... being as slow as he had been in 1967 he decided to go out with a bang, and bang! he did -he fought back like crazy every time he was lapped, which was every couple laps, and when he almost took out race leader Jackie Stewart, race officials had seen enough and disqualified him for being too slow, something no other bad driver (Amati, Mazepin, Ide, anyone else) ever achieved.
Didn't battery die on Al's car in 67'? He walked all the way to the pits, grabbed a new battery, walked with it all the way back to the car, and installed himself. I remember reading about him on the old F1 Rejects site. Guy had no quit in him. That's for sure. 😅

I can only assume she was talking about her experience in Formula Abarth and Italian F3 where she did have a little bit of success and a few wins. See, looking at her at that point in her career, coming straight into single seaters and winning races despite skipping karting (ironically one of the few other F1 drivers with no karting pedigree was Damon Hill!) you can see why some F3000 team owners might have thought she had some potential. Unfortunately she was completely found out in F3000, blatantly nowhere near the standard she needed to be and whoever was running Brabham must have needed their heads examined for hiring her.

Wow, what a pain in the bum SHE turned out to be. I'm a woman who's done some driving, but I had no money, no connections, and was never wildly ambitious - I just wanted to drive. I had a fantastic time because I knew my limitations. Frankly, I don't care who's the best in the world at anything. Not bothered. I'm more interested in having fun. I was a rally driver before, during and after the Group-B era (only amateur); I competed mainly in the UK. I drove once in Finland and lived in Kenya for several years. I enjoyed mucking about preparing cars and was a keen mechanic. The rallying fraternity didn't give me a hard time for being a girlie-girl. I'm single and straight but once the guys saw that I was as mad about the sport as they were, that I was ready to crawl around in the slush or the mud at midnight and fix stuff without whingeing, I was accepted as one of them. No problems. Club rallying was my goal [maximum fun, minimum funds], and that's what I did. The highlight of my so-called career was providing support and driving service barges for privateers in the old 5-day East African Safari, and eventually getting to enter and complete the event twice myself - once in a wet year, and once in the dry. [A 'wet' Safari is indescribably soggy. You wouldn't BELIEVE how soggy. On one section the roads had been washed away; we had bright orange flood water at windscreen level and hippos pushing past us. There was a crocodile. We lost our maps. We locked the doors and slept in the car.] Of course we didn't win anything. Don't be daft. We were a hilarious 11 hours behind the works teams, but that was fine. I drove, nobody died. Result! In my low-key, unremarkable, utterly insignificant driving years I didn't upset anyone. I wasn't an a*sehole. I wasn't a prima donna. When I wasn't competing I volunteered as a marshal. I helped rivals get their cars sorted out and back on the road. The idea of actually winning anything never occurred to me. Formula One seems to attract a very different kind of person. There's a lot of ego, for a start. And money. And ruthless ambition. Climbing the career ladder to the top takes a special kind of, er... 'focus' that I'm delighted I don't have. Nobody on TH-cam will ever make videos about me. I'm no Michèle Mouton or Sabine Schmitz; they're genuine stars, I'm not. That's fine by me. I'm content with my memories. As this video shows, winning's for losers. As the end draws near and you lie on your deathbed, reviewing your life, the important thing is to have had a d*mn good giraffe.(🤣) Or maybe a hippo.
Best comment I've read in a very, very long time 💯 Nothing but respect for the above, including your time as a marshall I may not be a racing driver, but I do have one of the coolest (and more underrated) jobs in Motorsport: I create Liveries for a living :)
imagine only picking that up from the whole video an not having anything logical to say, go lay down you idiot, i have a saying, its better to be seen of an thought of as an asshole, then to open your mouth an remove all doubt.
This story is very poorly told and seeks nothing more than sensationalism. In fact, she was unable to qualify this car 3 times, but curiously, a newcomer called Damon Hill who replaces her also failed to do so.
Good point. It would be great if a potential formula one driver were given a test drive in the best car available. Like a trial run. That would soon determine if it were the car or the driver that lacked ability.
They pointed out that the team couldn't afford any testing/practice sessions at all, so those would've been her first times in the car (one assumes her teammate had more F1 experience) - she'd only been in an F1 car (a different one) once before for testing- she essentially had 5 shots, and stayed consistent with them. I don't think she's some huge missed talent, but I think with proper induction and practice she could've been average/low average, rather than truly embarrassing.
5:40 - "elio dangelis" - er, i think you mean "elio de angelis" 12:00 - galicia entered 3 gp but didn't qualify for any, wilson entered 1 gp and failed to qualify for it. 15:30 - you should at least mention how adrian newey made such a difference with damon hill. 17:00 - the 107% rule was actually as a result of deletraz in 1994 not amati in 1992? (probably senna's accident in 1994 too).
The 107% rule was more the result of a shrinking entry list meaning that, for the first time in years, there were more cars than there were grid slots - something which is strangely acknowledged in the video but credits its introduction to the performances of drivers like Amati, when it was more to do with the fact that the Fortis and Pacifics of the day were dangerously slow even in the hands of reasonably competent drivers like Roberto Moreno or Bertrand Gachot. Either way you're closer to the truth than this regurgitated Wikipedia article of a video...
@@domformula1 Not only does he mispronounce Desiré Wilson's name (the "é" is not some sort of decoration!) but he also mixes up her photo with Galica's!
The Brabham, was way past its sell by date and even HIll struggled to qualify it. Hill had massive F1 test miles with Williams. Amati, probably had minimal time in the Brabham. At the start of the '92 season there were pictures in the press of Amati, topless on the beach with Niki Lauda. As a teenager, I took note. She was a good looker, I will give her that.
i worked in international f3000 in 1990 and meet her a many time`s she was a nice lady if she talked to you ! but not a racing driver , you could hear the tone of the engine was not at full rev`s at most corner`s and her time`s proved it NOT GOOD
So when she gets close to the front she gets treated like a man. Which, by any woman’s standards, is always going to be sexism. Good god that’s pathetic.
I have heard of her and she was on a three race contract, so she wasn't really fired or anything. They just employed her as a pay driver, because Brabham was almost bankrupt.
I wouldn't compare Stroll to Amati though. Stroll isn't great, but he's not 4 seconds slower than a mid-field driver. Amati is so bad that I'm confident almost anyone picked on random could do better than her - especially with the amount of time she got to race in lower categories.
I quite liked the AI images it breaks up recycling the limited actual footage that you can source. Also I loved the little Hill tribute near the end makes you realise how different the tails of drivers can be. 9.5/10 bravo
In 1992 at the Mexican F1 Grand Prix, I actually met and talked with Amati. I still have a video I took of a press conference she gave after failing to qualify. The real story is that her sponsors promised Brabham $5 million USD if they gave her the seat. This is also the year that Gordon Murray came up with the idea to place the BMW turbo engine at a slanted angle to reduce the drag coefficient of the car. This design ended up being a complete disaster, making the car very uncompetitive. At the time, Bernie had stepped away from Brabham, concentrating on running the business of F1 instead and was trying to sell the team. Unable to find any buyers, he then decided to lease the team to an alleged group of British gangsters. They quickly discovered they needed money to properly run the team and is the reason Brabham accepted the $5 million USD offer to let Amati drive. When the money failed to materialize, she was then given the axe.
The video left out that even when Damon replaced her he failed to qualify for five races.... He then just made it into the British Grand Prix, knowledge of the track probably helping, before finishing last of the cars that finished. Now Damon is clearly a very talented driver, so it shows just how bad that car was and how a newbie to F1 would struggle.
"They accept you when you are way behind them. When you start to get closer, to a pole position, or be in 1st or be in 2nd row.. They don't even talk to you anymore in the boxes." From someone who managed 3rd at best in her whole career, which was paid for by daddy.
5:18 "she used her dad's money and connections to set an example to future stars like Mazespin, Mahaveer, and Lance" oh God the Mount Rushmore of abject failures 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gee whiz... I did 3 years in Formula Ford, many years ago. So, can I have a seat with Ferrari, Red Bull, or Mercedes ??? Maybe, Aston Martin (since Adrian Newey is going there) ?? With the paychecks to match ? Why not ?? They seem to hire anybody...
I feel sad for her. The mental issues from the kidnapping are unimaginable. Clearly she was not suitable, but I give her credit for not quitting and finding what worked for her.
There are thousands of sim racers with more talent and dedication, of which probably half have the balls and skill transferring over to real cars. They just don't have rich dads. Some have the talent to race in F1, but never will.
Even in a regular car, using the reverse gear 247 times in a row will destroy your gear box... Ai ai ai... the FIA really needs to stop taking bribes and start vetting its drivers.
F3000 driver Italian Giovanna Amati who was signed to Brabham at the beginning of the 1992 season. She failed to qualify for three races in which she was entered. She was replaced by Damon Hill, who also failed to qualify the same car in 6 out of the 8 following races he entered. Brabham lead driver that season was Eric Van De Poele who only managed to qualify once and after 11 races the team folded. (Wiki) I think she was/is amazing.
@@widjojohuang7854 They Honda the same engine as Red Bull Racing. Daniel Riccardo finished higher than Yuki in every race this year. Why are you making excuses for Yuki poor driving???
I always feel kind of bad for these pay drivers. Cause they'll never know how it feels to actually achieve something, they have so much wealth and opportunity yet it just never amounts to anything really beautiful and I think they know that. Its why so many of them act shallow and defensive in interviews. Always dodging the blame because they've never built anything to *actually* be proud of so when they have to take flack for something (no matter how small) it must be incredibly painful.
Well, if one see Damon first races with Brabham the gaps were the same. In Spain he was 7.5 slower than pole and in San Marino 6.5 seconds. Perry McCarthy was 15.6 seconds slower in that qualy.
I don't know why I watch videos about terrible racers because it keeps giving me pause about people who want something but are also FUCKING TERRIBLE at it and just stink up the joint in their attempt at "chasing their dream" when, really, they need to accept that they are not adequate for that and know when to gracefully bow out. It's also just...really depressing. The realization that there are things that, no matter how bad you want to do them and how great you'd feel doing them, you also shouldn't because people with more talent deserve to be there more than you. I say this because I question when my own dreams could be encroaching on someone else's shot at an opportunity they deserve more than me.
the 107% rule was decomissioned in 2002. After that it was reintroduced in 2011 but i believe everybody who ever was outside of the 107% after 2011 always was allowed to get on the grid anyways. The 2011-now 107% rule must be the most useless rule in the book of F1 rules... There even was a team (minardi i think) who was SO late getting their cars completed that it was AFTER qually for the first race of the season. This car didn't drive a meter in testing, didn't do free practice, didn't do qually and nobody knew if it was capable of doing 107%. Yet still.... allowed to start the race.
"no one wants to go back from a woman, first or 2nd or pole position" ya right! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 she really say "pole position"!? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
WTF was she talking about in that interview that people wouldn't talk to her if she qualified well when she failed to qualify in all F1 attempts? Too many dollars not enough sense.

I was a rally driver before, during and after the Group-B era (only amateur); I competed mainly in the UK. I drove once in Finland and lived in Kenya for several years. I enjoyed mucking about preparing cars and was a keen mechanic.
The rallying fraternity didn't give me a hard time for being a girlie-girl. I'm single and straight but once the guys saw that I was as mad about the sport as they were, that I was ready to crawl around in the slush or the mud at midnight and fix stuff without whingeing, I was accepted as one of them. No problems.
Club rallying was my goal [maximum fun, minimum funds], and that's what I did. The highlight of my so-called career was providing support and driving service barges for privateers in the old 5-day East African Safari, and eventually getting to enter and complete the event twice myself - once in a wet year, and once in the dry.
[A 'wet' Safari is indescribably soggy. You wouldn't BELIEVE how soggy. On one section the roads had been washed away; we had bright orange flood water at windscreen level and hippos pushing past us. There was a crocodile. We lost our maps. We locked the doors and slept in the car.]
Of course we didn't win anything. Don't be daft. We were a hilarious 11 hours behind the works teams, but that was fine. I drove, nobody died. Result!
In my low-key, unremarkable, utterly insignificant driving years I didn't upset anyone. I wasn't an a*sehole. I wasn't a prima donna. When I wasn't competing I volunteered as a marshal. I helped rivals get their cars sorted out and back on the road. The idea of actually winning anything never occurred to me.
Formula One seems to attract a very different kind of person. There's a lot of ego, for a start. And money. And ruthless ambition. Climbing the career ladder to the top takes a special kind of, er... 'focus' that I'm delighted I don't have.
Nobody on TH-cam will ever make videos about me. I'm no Michèle Mouton or Sabine Schmitz; they're genuine stars, I'm not. That's fine by me. I'm content with my memories.
As this video shows, winning's for losers. As the end draws near and you lie on your deathbed, reviewing your life, the important thing is to have had a d*mn good giraffe.(🤣)
Or maybe a hippo.
What a fascinating story of your racing career. I 'liked' your video and subscribed to your channel.
Best comment I've read in a very, very long time 💯 Nothing but respect for the above, including your time as a marshall
I may not be a racing driver, but I do have one of the coolest (and more underrated) jobs in Motorsport: I create Liveries for a living :)
someone make a video about her just to prove her wrong
TL;DR - nobody asked
I can confirm that Italy Is still like that. Connections matters,skills don't.
So is every country
That's capitalism for ya!
Communism is the same shit but with less money
Imagine pronouncing "Desiré Wilson" as Desire.
imagine only picking that up from the whole video an not having anything logical to say,
go lay down you idiot,
i have a saying,
its better to be seen of
an thought of as an asshole,
then to open your mouth an remove all doubt.
It was certainly an obvious gaffe! Desiré is pronounced _"Des-a-ray"._
Tells you something about how 'informed' (not) the rest of the video is.
That's her working girl name
@@BigDavoNorriwong she could still beat you a car, guaranteed.
This story is very poorly told and seeks nothing more than sensationalism. In fact, she was unable to qualify this car 3 times, but curiously, a newcomer called Damon Hill who replaces her also failed to do so.
The comparison is with her teammate, of course the car was bad.
Good point. It would be great if a potential formula one driver were given a test drive in the best car available. Like a trial run. That would soon determine if it were the car or the driver that lacked ability.
She was 3 seconds(!) behind her teammate.
They pointed out that the team couldn't afford any testing/practice sessions at all, so those would've been her first times in the car (one assumes her teammate had more F1 experience) - she'd only been in an F1 car (a different one) once before for testing- she essentially had 5 shots, and stayed consistent with them. I don't think she's some huge missed talent, but I think with proper induction and practice she could've been average/low average, rather than truly embarrassing.
why simpin?
STOP USING AI VOICES!!!! Just narrate his quote or if there isn't one dont make it up using voices like that. Its so unethical and gross
Calm down Internet Saviour GTFO
this
Real
Its really not that bad
@@wolfbloodplayz1590 its just weird and disrespectful as hell
Italians and not being able to keep their emotions in check, name a more iconic duo.
You don't need the AI images, just use free stock photography
Tbh they weren't that bad.
Doesn't need the ai voices either.
Karun should be on this list. A terrible driver that couldn’t even manage a full season.
Well tbh she was a threat to the tracks and traffic for other drivers lol
5:40 - "elio dangelis" - er, i think you mean "elio de angelis"
12:00 - galicia entered 3 gp but didn't qualify for any, wilson entered 1 gp and failed to qualify for it.
15:30 - you should at least mention how adrian newey made such a difference with damon hill.
17:00 - the 107% rule was actually as a result of deletraz in 1994 not amati in 1992? (probably senna's accident in 1994 too).
‘Desire’ Wilson had me in stitches 😂. A whiff of watchmojo about this one
Too many errors and omissions for the sake of sensationalism
The 107% rule was more the result of a shrinking entry list meaning that, for the first time in years, there were more cars than there were grid slots - something which is strangely acknowledged in the video but credits its introduction to the performances of drivers like Amati, when it was more to do with the fact that the Fortis and Pacifics of the day were dangerously slow even in the hands of reasonably competent drivers like Roberto Moreno or Bertrand Gachot. Either way you're closer to the truth than this regurgitated Wikipedia article of a video...
@@domformula1 Not only does he mispronounce Desiré Wilson's name (the "é" is not some sort of decoration!) but he also mixes up her photo with Galica's!
The sensationalist bullshit, the made up newspaper clips and the mispronounced names at least gave me a few laughs
I do remember her. She was dating Briatore.
What really? No way
And Niki Lauda
Wouldn't surprise me if Flavio's shady deals cheated her into an F1 seat.
Who didn't? I saw him with then wife Elisabeta Gregoraci and son Falco Nathan at the Nice airport on the way to The Monaco GP.
Briatore will date anything with a hallow cavity.
The Brabham, was way past its sell by date and even HIll struggled to qualify it. Hill had massive F1 test miles with Williams. Amati, probably had minimal time in the Brabham. At the start of the '92 season there were pictures in the press of Amati, topless on the beach with Niki Lauda. As a teenager, I took note. She was a good looker, I will give her that.
LMAO at that thumbnail. Had to cross those eyes 😂
When she already didn't look bad enough 😂😂
@@TheRussianRoulettte it was pretty unprofessional of them to do that
Irony = the amount of affluence being relative to the amount of delusional grandeur...
i worked in international f3000 in 1990 and meet her a many time`s she was a nice lady if she talked to you ! but not a racing driver , you could hear the tone of the engine was not at full rev`s at most corner`s and her time`s proved it NOT GOOD
this is a good video keep up the good work
Those clips for the Motorbike were not the “ Valeunga Track “ but Ballaugh Bridge on the Isle Of Man TT Circuit.
"Lord Mahaveer" killed me, absolute peak.
I remember her in Mexico, she was visibly slower than the rest of drivers.
Heard about Amati b4, Nakaya is a gud, well mannered,soft spoken racing driver. Its a shame we never get to see him in F1.
So when she gets close to the front she gets treated like a man. Which, by any woman’s standards, is always going to be sexism. Good god that’s pathetic.
Good video, she set women in motorsport back a long way for a long time
Hmmm... Turns out that lad Hill was quite quick....
I have heard of her and she was on a three race contract, so she wasn't really fired or anything. They just employed her as a pay driver, because Brabham was almost bankrupt.
I wouldn't compare Stroll to Amati though.
Stroll isn't great, but he's not 4 seconds slower than a mid-field driver.
Amati is so bad that I'm confident almost anyone picked on random could do better than her - especially with the amount of time she got to race in lower categories.
What’s with Giovanna Amati photos with the cross eyes 😂
Also to include Alex Yoong as one of the worst-ever F1 drivers ffs🤬🤬
imagine she made it to Monaco, Amati vs S921 fighting in Pre-Quali will be a great feat
I quite liked the AI images it breaks up recycling the limited actual footage that you can source. Also I loved the little Hill tribute near the end makes you realise how different the tails of drivers can be. 9.5/10 bravo
In 1992 at the Mexican F1 Grand Prix, I actually met and talked with Amati. I still have a video I took of a press conference she gave after failing to qualify. The real story is that her sponsors promised Brabham $5 million USD if they gave her the seat. This is also the year that Gordon Murray came up with the idea to place the BMW turbo engine at a slanted angle to reduce the drag coefficient of the car. This design ended up being a complete disaster, making the car very uncompetitive.
At the time, Bernie had stepped away from Brabham, concentrating on running the business of F1 instead and was trying to sell the team. Unable to find any buyers, he then decided to lease the team to an alleged group of British gangsters. They quickly discovered they needed money to properly run the team and is the reason Brabham accepted the $5 million USD offer to let Amati drive. When the money failed to materialize, she was then given the axe.
Gordon Murray had long left to McLaren at the atime
@@jpq6257 You are right. Sergio Rinland designed the car. Memory tends to fade after so many years.
I'm confused, didn't they outlaw turbo engines starting in the 1989 season?
The video left out that even when Damon replaced her he failed to qualify for five races.... He then just made it into the British Grand Prix, knowledge of the track probably helping, before finishing last of the cars that finished. Now Damon is clearly a very talented driver, so it shows just how bad that car was and how a newbie to F1 would struggle.
The Benneton BMW was slanted over as well.
"I wasn't given a fair shot", she said.
Well she wasn't wrong, just not in the way she thinks it was.
If Amati was a bit younger and racing today... how would she fair up with the f1 academy racers? 😅😅😅
Miserably.
Did you forget Andretti when he came in from Indy and could not complete a race?
Nope never heard of him but This upload does make my day 🔥
Hope you enjoy the vid mate ❤️
"They accept you when you are way behind them.
When you start to get closer, to a pole position, or be in 1st or be in 2nd row..
They don't even talk to you anymore in the boxes."
From someone who managed 3rd at best in her whole career, which was paid for by daddy.
5:18 "she used her dad's money and connections to set an example to future stars like Mazespin, Mahaveer, and Lance"
oh God the Mount Rushmore of abject failures 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gee whiz... I did 3 years in Formula Ford, many years ago. So, can I have a seat with Ferrari, Red Bull, or Mercedes ??? Maybe, Aston Martin (since Adrian Newey is going there) ?? With the paychecks to match ?
Why not ?? They seem to hire anybody...
I've definitely heard of her but that's a sign of my age remembering her for failing to qualify.
Replaced with hill 🤣, watching hill becoming a world champion is probably a bigger wound
The first DEI experiment paved the way for every single one since....
I didn’t know Martina Navratilova was in Formula 1
Can you make a ayrton senna documentary
I already did mate 💪🏻
he made one 2 weeks ago, i recommend watching it, its great
@@Eli5idk I didn’t knew dailyFuelUp has a hype man
Who is Ayrton Senna? Never hear of her.
Her? Ayrton Senna was a man, one of the greatest f1 racers in history
I don’t watch follow or care about F1 but these videos are just so damn entertaining I can’t help but binge them
Great Video
Ah yes, Danica Patrick of F1
I feel sad for her. The mental issues from the kidnapping are unimaginable. Clearly she was not suitable, but I give her credit for not quitting and finding what worked for her.
There are thousands of sim racers with more talent and dedication, of which probably half have the balls and skill transferring over to real cars. They just don't have rich dads. Some have the talent to race in F1, but never will.
Even in a regular car, using the reverse gear 247 times in a row will destroy your gear box... Ai ai ai... the FIA really needs to stop taking bribes and start vetting its drivers.
moral. money talks. she enjoyed racing cars even if she wasn't world class..
F3000 driver Italian Giovanna Amati who was signed to Brabham at the beginning of the 1992 season. She failed to qualify for three races in which she was entered. She was replaced by Damon Hill, who also failed to qualify the same car in 6 out of the 8 following races he entered. Brabham lead driver that season was Eric Van De Poele who only managed to qualify once and after 11 races the team folded. (Wiki)
I think she was/is amazing.
I wonder how many talented drivers were if everyone on the planet got a chance.
You assume that I wasn't on the F1 scene in 1992, wrong! Not only do I remember Giovanna, I've known who she was since way back then!
These days she’d be given a Sky F1 contract and touted as an “expert” to fulfil some vapid diversity quota.
Apparently women can produce semen !!! if they want.
Yuki is the worst Japanese driver ever.
Well, ok. But, What happened?
@@widjojohuang7854 Yuki never won a Grid Prix and pole position in his F1 Career.
@@David1991. Yeah. But, Why is this?
@@widjojohuang7854 They Honda the same engine as Red Bull Racing. Daniel Riccardo finished higher than Yuki in every race this year. Why are you making excuses for Yuki poor driving???
@@widjojohuang7854 No F1 teams use Toyota engine since 2009. Why are you making things up in the comments Yuki fanboy???
Can’t buy talent
Judging by the thumbnail I'd say it was Gary Sinise 🤣
I'm old enough to remember police shooting at feet so there would be a criminal to interrogate.
I always feel kind of bad for these pay drivers.
Cause they'll never know how it feels to actually achieve something, they have so much wealth and opportunity yet it just never amounts to anything really beautiful and I think they know that. Its why so many of them act shallow and defensive in interviews. Always dodging the blame because they've never built anything to *actually* be proud of so when they have to take flack for something (no matter how small) it must be incredibly painful.
Well, if one see Damon first races with Brabham the gaps were the same. In Spain he was 7.5 slower than pole and in San Marino 6.5 seconds. Perry McCarthy was 15.6 seconds slower in that qualy.
This should be made into a movie
Can't make movies about women in a negative light
@@Nightdare True
You didn't do your homework, there was an Italian woman who raced in formula1 in the 50's and 60's .
Her name was Maria Teresa de Fillipis.
12:00
It is literally in the video, you nitwit 😂
@@davkrod yeah I know but he talked about her as though she and the others didn't exist
Oh i love this whole story, feninists gon lick this plate clean.
What plate?
I don't know why I watch videos about terrible racers because it keeps giving me pause about people who want something but are also FUCKING TERRIBLE at it and just stink up the joint in their attempt at "chasing their dream" when, really, they need to accept that they are not adequate for that and know when to gracefully bow out. It's also just...really depressing. The realization that there are things that, no matter how bad you want to do them and how great you'd feel doing them, you also shouldn't because people with more talent deserve to be there more than you.
I say this because I question when my own dreams could be encroaching on someone else's shot at an opportunity they deserve more than me.
Bro! Can you make a video of W series and F1 Academy? Because in modern times today, people trying to avoid another Giovanna Amati.
Too much AI.
tf you mean AI it’s his real voice
"Elio Danelis" ? 5:41
His name was Elio de Angelis
She had too weak neck. She did tilt head to inside of corner. In braking it`s worse. I have experience of blurry vision and neck pain in braking.
Grosjean has to be up there, I mean he took out whole teams when he crashed. I just guess he had more money.
Grosjean had speed though. He was too quick and had too many good results to be considered anywhere near the worst. Basically Maldonado without a win.
"She sped off to the Valalunga..."
Then footage of Braddon Bridge on the Isle of Man TT course 🤔
She wasn't there was she. Cmon, admit it 😂😂😂
the 107% rule was decomissioned in 2002. After that it was reintroduced in 2011 but i believe everybody who ever was outside of the 107% after 2011 always was allowed to get on the grid anyways. The 2011-now 107% rule must be the most useless rule in the book of F1 rules... There even was a team (minardi i think) who was SO late getting their cars completed that it was AFTER qually for the first race of the season. This car didn't drive a meter in testing, didn't do free practice, didn't do qually and nobody knew if it was capable of doing 107%. Yet still.... allowed to start the race.
Is she worse than Chanoch "I have too much grip" Nissany though 💀
What a depressing story! I feel *sad* for her. Money can't (always) buy happiness! At least she ended her career with a "high note"!
Ha ha ha, that's not what mirrors are for. 😄
You've got the photos of Davina Galica & Desire Wilson mixed up.
"no one wants to go back from a woman, first or 2nd or pole position" ya right! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 she really say "pole position"!? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Its a shame you use a.i. because up until i realized it i really kinda enjoyed your videos. But i cant support that type of laziness.
WTF was she talking about in that interview that people wouldn't talk to her if she qualified well when she failed to qualify in all F1 attempts? Too many dollars not enough sense.
Why didnt she just stick with bikes once she realized she couldn't drive
Goatifi, we will never forget.
I’ve heard of her. I even watched her try to pre qualify. She’s well known to any self respecting F1 fan!
The title is a lie, I have heard of her. Her story is wild though.
8:43 Is this another episode of "If it's Russian is wrong". The guy he's about to overtake made a move to push him into the wall, and he's the one criticized? What am I missing here?
Then, next, you go on to portray the same move by Amati as the cause of a serious incident!! Come on man, that's like calling everyone stupid!
