WTF Happened to Yuji Ide (Worst Formula One Driver Ever?)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ต.ค. 2024
- Whenever you see a list of the worst Formula One drivers of all time, you almost always see Yuji Ide somewhere in there. His stint in Formula One was short-lived, yet chaotic. But, how did it all go so wrong, after a relatively successful junior career?

Yuji Ide is a god! He was my teammate on F1 Championship Edition and I managed to score a podium in it because Ide caused a huge pileup! What a man he is!
Yup 👍
Ideista!!
Hahaha!
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Laughed my f***ing ass off😂
Imagine being a better driver than 99.9% of earths population, and still being called "the worst driver ever".
that's probably being generous
i'd say he's safely better than 95% of the earth's population
although i think Ide was hard done by. nobody remembers chanoch nissany? who was 13 seconds slower in free practice. although by chanoch's own admission he wasn't an F1 driver, just somebody with a lot of money who wanted to drive once in F1
his son is roy nissany. william's new er... test? development driver?
@@punkypink83 5% is about 330 million people, thats about the population of the US. I highly doubt there are that many race car drivers more capable than him.
There are only 20 seats give or take on the grid of F1 there's no place for the .1% only for the .000001%
SaunaSankari Worse F1 driver is the distinction.
@@saunasankari5917 Consistently having the worst lap times and getting theracing licence revoked is probably the definition of worst F1 driver.
Little did you know that he was actually trying to drift
DEJA VU
From the footage it looked like the gamu tape death match.
*Eurobeat intensifies*
the japanese blood flows within him..
I KNEW IT! He was the Drift King this whole time.
This guy would probably excel in drifting competitions
Doorifto
Drifting requires excellent car control, this guy would do better in nascar where he can hit drivers for lols.
@@PYITE314 as a nascar fan, definitely yes
haha
That's racist lol
Yuji did not learn the first rule in racing: "If you want to finish first, first you have to finish".
I thought the first rule was "do not crash your teammate."
@@supersasukemaniac "Kimi Räikkönen is always Finish"
i thought it was "learn to wreck someone without wrecking yourself"
the last line should have said: you *first* have to finish. Would have made it a way better quote.
"If you want to finish first, you first have to finish".
If you ain't first, you're last
“Which wasn’t the only thing he was sniffing back in the day”
I chuckled
Out of 1,500 people that liked, nobody replied. Pretty cool eh?
patty yeah weird funny comment tho lol
patty no one cares
patty omg i didnt even know how many likes this comment got
I was expecting him to be sniffing worse things than drugs to be fair

I kinda feel bad for him. I mean, he's competing with the best drivers in the world. He'd still kick all of our asses on the grid.
Ya but when youre talking about getting a japanese driver on the grid hes a terrible choice. Any amateur kart driver could beat us cause many of us dont spend the same amount of time racing
Not really, Nicholas. On most tracks I may be slower than the real drivers (Legendary Difficulty, codemaster F1 series) But I'm never 3 seconds slower than my team mate, much less 8 seconds slower than the Pole Setter!
@@tzeffsmainchannel Hahahah, I'm not going to talk about simulated driving vs real driving. Good for you though!
Not mine 😜
@@nicholasspinicelli2911 Just sayin! To show how bad he really is! :P
I only know who Ide is because of one thing: F1 2006 (PS2)😂
Damnit, I posted the exact same thing! Ah, well, at least we *both* had the same experience.
I have the championship edition f1 2006 on ps3
Same thing for me dude!
same, but i know him from the PSP version
I was a fan of the underdogs and always took his seat in the carrer mode
I did to Sato what Sato did to Ide lmao
he actually had his f1 licence revoked. he is the worst ever.
Bonswally true, and he was slow af
Steven Tsakiris he also destroyed albers at imola 2006.
aleks gamer i mean even if he was “slow” he still did drive in F1 which is huge achievement
OtoSeli i mean he was slow in f1. his junior career was actually decent in some parts. he just had no test time with the car and couldnt speak english at all
In other word a discount reskless driver used to fill a budget...
the difficulty curve from f2 to f1 is just insane though, the power difference is staggering
Josh's pronunciation of Japanese names sounds like he's pronouncing them in the most exotic way possible that sounds nothing like Japanese.
@crummy yeah I don't get it when people that, I don't say taco in a Mexican accent or Pizza in Italian, same with names
as a japanese i can say he did a pretty good job. it sounds more japanese than the majoritiy of people trying to pronounce japanese names.
@@TomMathesonColes huh. I always make an effort to get pronunciations of names right. After all, it's just a sound you're used to hearing associated with yourself. Kinda loses its purpose if people pronounce it differently.
I always find it weird to say non English words because on one hand using an accent feels wrong but also saying it flatly in English sounds like I don't care enough about the other languages
Took me a while to realize he spelled "sake" as a syllable instead of "sa-ke"
Yuji Ide makes Lance Stroll look like the greatest F1 driver ever.
Uzair Syed Ide makes Stroll looks like Schumacher
@@saifulaimran8022 Ide makes Stroll look like Schumacher, Senna, Prost, Hamilton and Vettel combined
Stroll isn't that bad
Uzair Syed Ide makes Maldonado look like a safe driver
Better yet - he makes GROSJEAN look good
Yuji Ide aka the only driver in history to have his superlicence revoked
He should be proud of his achievement!
Damn.. what an achievement
No shit? What a guy
Not quite true. He's the only to have had it revoked through dangerous driving. A few drivers, including both Schumacher brothers and Jenson Button, have had their licence revoked mid season due to medical protocol. However in all cases it was merely a formality as none of the drivers were intending to drive against medical advice, and then had their license reinstated when able to pass fitness.
@Meyaka Brown super ultra rare achivement
He was reincarnated into a Frenchman by the name of Romain Grosjean
hahaha
Good one haha

2:58 I've noticed 2 things here:
1. Allegedly great FE driver Andre Lotterer barely beat Yuji Ide
2. They were driving with a Lola car which would have been the perfect fit for Ide's F1 career
Over before it began?
Shoutout to Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson for transcending their time at Super Auguri and going on to win the Indy 500 and the World Endurance Championship respectively.
0:25 when you dim the screen like that it makes me think my phone's battery went to 5 percent and it gives me a little heart attack each time ☹
SAME!!!
I mean at least he didn’t get into his position through his dad
That's what I want to know. How much $ it took to buy his seat. Where the family money came from, would it have been cheaper for him to just chase women and snort coke?
Who might you be referring to?
@@RichardASK Maldonado
@@davidlafranchise4782 is chasing women and snorting coke the standard among rich kids?
@@ntl9974 is it not?

I haven’t seen Initial D in a long time, but that reference gave me… *Déjà Vu.*
I’ll start packing my bags.
Also, imagine a team with Takuma and Takumi. How great would that be?

Now, just imagine Takumi Fujiwara just swinging it around every corner, whilst everyone’s reaction is “N-NANI!!!, KANSEI DORIFTO!?!?” That...that will be proper true F1 racing
pretty sure his tyres would die and his license would get provoked for intentionally skidding too much
SHIIIINNGGG
scuttle06 That would especially happen in 2005
He wouldnt last long at all, F1's are not built for that kinda driving
@@amarionm5675 plot armor
The only reason I knew Yuji Ide existed before watching this video is because I used to play F1 Championship Edition all the time. I don’t recall him starting any higher than last in any of the races I played in that game, no word of an exaggeration.
Sounds like a very accurate game.
I want to get that game and try and help him get a win
Never forget that the Aguri car was a 2003 Arrows that was massaged to meet the 2006/7 regs
TheD2JBug Which didn’t explain why he was so far off Sato.
Can you make a video about Wtf happened to Christian Albers. He was arrested a few weeks ago.
Also a video about Haas before they came into F1 might be interesting
Why was he arrested?
The Haas video would just be a summary of their NASCAR stats. Wouldn’t be a bad video, but it doesn’t really work if it’s their *entire* story before getting into F1.
Satanizr, he wasn’t arrested
shmet doesn’t sound like he was actually arrested
You may be thinking of Carl Haas. The NASCAR and F1 teams are both owned by Gene Haas.
**heavy Australian accent**: So surprisingly, Yuji became the driver instead of
**Kawaii sugoi Nippon accentu**: Satoshi Yatoama
pretty sure this blokes from NZ and I know coz im aussie
@@Goose21 yeah definitely Kiwi accent

Hes a Kiwi... 😅
@@Goose21 im kiwi and he sounds Aussie to me.
@@_Zekken i'm kiwi and he sounds kiwi to me, i know it when i hear it because we pretty much all talk the same
with the exception being southland
they're basically scottish
I don't understand the dig at Stroll at all. I'm not saying he's great or anything but he's a decent driver who doesn't belong anywhere near a "Worst F1 drivers ever" list
I agree
You must be new here
@@Schpit its 2020 and hes peforming great
He’s only there cause his dad is a billionaire
@@jonathansmith3818 Yeah, but he is still a decent driver who isn’t bad and can compete against the other in the F1
I guess it’s like the same when lord Mahaveer Raghunatan joins F1 in the Williams
Lord is always capitalized!
My FantasyF1 team was called Yuji Ides School of Overtaking this year 😂
I assume that no crashes were had.
Couple of things:
- Ide came within a race of being GT300 Champion in 1999 for NISMO, though spun in his closing stint which didn’t help.
- After the 2006 Suzuka 1000km, he did extract a great measure of redemption by winning the race in 2010 - driving for Aguri’s team- alongside Ralph Firman and Takashi Kobayashi, who took pole as a one-off third driver entrant then never did a stint in the race.
Motoyama was already in his early 30s by the time he last pursued an F1 drive in 2003-04 and, given his accolades, I agree that it’d have been interesting to see if he’d achieve any kind of success with such a late start and no backing from Toyota or Honda.
Looks like me playing F1 2020 without TC.
Honestly, I've seen some of his laps, and although I'm no expert it looks like it's just a combination of things. Breaking a bit early, clunky gear shifts, biting into the turns a bit too aggressive then having to correct etc. No doubt the car had issues as well so it's not all on him, but it just seems like he was a little bit bad at the finer details driving the car. I wonder if his GT driving impacted the way he drove an f1 car as well? It would explain the early breaking, clunky shifts etc.
Another good video! You should do one featuring Esteban Tuerro, the guy who retired after 1 season of F1
Just discovered this channel. Loving your content! Keep it up! 💪
Nice profile picture
It's weird how Ide struggled so much when he beat guys like Lotterer and Treluyer in Japan
Maybe F1 isn't the sport for the Japanese? I know that seems racist, but look at every other sports dominated by certain races.
@@gp7066 Maybe that's not about "being Japanese" but rather that there are a lot of accessible racing classes there that the average Japanese driver never feels the need to make it into F1?
I guess, the language-barrier in fact does a lot. I mean, the English many Japanese drivers speak is a nightmare… His F1 time was the only time, he had been racing outside of Japan.
Now compare that to his teammate Takuma Sato, who's easily the most successful Japanese openwheel-driver ever: Sato did one race in the Japanese F3 in 1998, went to Britain for 1999 and almost never came back. In 2012/13 Sato made a few races in the Fomula Nippon. The only race he even finished? A last place when half the field dropped out.
F1 is dominated by a handful of nations. Most of the teams are based within a few miles of Silverstone.
i think its obvious he didn't get that much time to get used to the car. Plus the first super aguri cars were pretty terrible too
Your pronunciation of the Japanese names is like when a weeb tries to impress you after watching subbed anime

*takumi fujiwara*
Damn I laughed to hard at that.
Right I was like ??? Who???
@@jamescaban7710 is the protagonist of the initial D anime, is the anime where the eurobeat come from
@@succmybaiiz572 I doubt all the eurobeat made is from Initial D
Aaron Vang no, but Initial D put Eurobeat on the map, since the show first came out in ~1997 (some year around there) and most eurobeat that we know either came from the show or was made after it.
@@jamescaban7710 He was the protagonist of the anime Initial D. I think the joke is that he was way too OP in a almost completely stock Corolla.
how do you manage to be 8 seconds off the pace
by not knowing what any of the steering wheel buttons really do. he probably tried to drive the F1 Aguri like an older F3 car -just pedals and the wheel.
Back then backmarkers were even further back. Also im sure ide wasnt given a lot of seat time
Thats raghunathan
superrowen I heard from a few comments that he was driving a repainted 2003 Arrows taken from an airport.
To be fair the car Super Augri were using in 2006 was a 2002 Arrows with anew paint job and a Honda 2.4 litre V8 shoved in the back so their chassis was 4 years behind everyone else's effectively.
Normal F1 fans: Hamilton, Shumacher, Vettel, Alonso
Me: Yuji Ide, Maldonado, Takuma Sato, Raghunatan
Sato isn't bad is he? I believe he is an indycar driver. And also you should look up Nisany. I don't know his first name but he tested once and was truly terrible. He spun and didnt know how to remove the steering wheel so he stayed in the car while it was towed back to the pits
Normal F1 Fans: Schumacher, Raikkonen, Alonso, Hakkinen. Maybe Lewis. Not Vettel.
Sato won Indy 500.
Taki Inoue, not podium scorer and Indy 500 winner Takuma Sato.
@@robertr7923 I just like Sato's style of driving, it's not that he's a bad driver like Raghunatan, Maldonado and Yuji Ide
Anyway when I see or hear this name, I laugh terribly.
By the way I’m Japanese.
Watching this back, your content has come so far Josh. Even the way your voice comes across nowadays, it’s incredible. Keep it up
my guy i've been waiting for anyone to make this exact video for about a year. thanks so much))
I remember cracking up every time Steve Matchett or David Hobbs called the team the “Super Best Friends” lol
Me too, man I miss them...
@@Benisreallycool Sorry to be late throwing my two cents in, but I always got a kick out how they called Jarno Trulli "Trulli Scrumptious", finally degenerating to "The Scrumptious One." Hobbs always cracked me up, but when he and Matchett got started...
@@Benisreallycool I miss our Speedvision. Like really really miss it. Would have to spend a small fortune to get 1/4 of their former coverage now☹️🏁
OK your channel is literally exploding congrats m8 👍
Thanks man!
WAIT!
He was on an "all Japanese" team, and the problem was that he couldn't speak ENGLISH?!?
I also wondered about this. I know most of the F1 teams are based in the UK and most of their engineers etc. are either British or have spent so much time there they have to speak English. But I thought Suzuki’s whole point with Super Aguri was to give Japanese engineers etc. a chance and to base the team in Japan. Did that just end up being completely not cost effective? Gods now I have to look this up!
Teams have to talk in English during the race through the radio. It's a FIA thing.
@@Maartwo But I slightly remember that Ferrari always talked in italian
Forget about Ide, now Japan has Yuki Tsunoda.
and hes now in F1
I'm hoping we'll finally have the first great Japanese F1 driver. There's been decent ones like Kobayashi, but never a great one.
@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN There's ongoing hype around this man. He is quick and confident driver.
This aged well. Just another mid driver lmao
i love how you pronounce the japanese names in a japanese accent 😂😂😂😂😂
I spent a fair amount of time in Japan, recently. I'm used to that whole pronunciation thing. 😂
Tf? Its a Japanese name. Whst do you expect? French?
And "Fairrrnando Alonso!"
Why would you?
TH-camrs always get angry comments if they pronounce things less than perfectly. When I finally get my channel kicked off again I'm adopting a position of aggressive anglicisation. If it's not from southern England, I'm getting it wrong.
You've grown this channel! Still remember the first video I saw where you had a bad mic. And now you have lots of subscribers. ❤❤

Yuji Ide: Worst F1 driver ever
Mazepin: Hold my vodka
I swear a few weeks ago you were about 5K sub's and that instantly quadrupled
Telling Yuji Ide is the worst driver in Formula 1 doesn't mean it's a bad driver. It's the same than telling that 1000th world best player in chess is a bad player because he lost against all players above him.
Since 2014 to the end of 2019, he raced in a Korean stock car racing series called SuperRace(슈퍼레이스). He was a decent driver tho
It cool when you realize Sato has a successful Indycar career
Idk man Mazepin might top this guy
Man, he spins more than Vettel.
and he still sucked in Super GT

Vettel also locks up at least once per lap if there's anyone in a 50meter radius

Worst driver ever?
Mazepin: Hold my vodka
After watching Mazepin I think I own Ide an apology
Ide apparently also raced in the Korean Superrace Championship from 2017-2019 and is currently racing in the Super Taikyu series
I was sad to see him go. A would-be future Formula 1 champ for sure.
Can you do a video on some dutchmen? Doornbos, Albers, Jos Verstappen?
That Imola crash is what I remember of him. :D
3:34 So, was I the only person who noticed that the team he was on was meant to be ALL JAPANESE, yet somehow him not knowing ENGLISH was why they couldn't get the car sorted? I know that there's a lot of differences between local dialects in Japanese but shouldn't be that hard to work out.
Yeah, Honda engines; Suzuki-owned, but based in Oxford, and run from England. That team was as 'Japanese' as Mercedes is 'German'.
I would have thought you had over a million subs, great quality videos!!!
Wooooo you have now has over 1 million views!!!! Congrats. On wards and upwards Josh
He surely was the worst F1 driver ever... until Nikita Maze(s)pin got the torch.
How can you say this?! This is outragious, it's unfair!! Yuji Ide is the best F1 driver ever...
9:10 Thanks for adding that definition there lmao
Yuji ide: I'm one of the worst f1 drivers
Nikita mazepin: hold my beer
If I may request, can you also do a video about Rio Haryanto? Especially about the whole sponsorship stuff behind him and the Manor team. It might be an interesting story to discuss.
How can you hire an F1 driver who cannot communicate with his team?
I imagine you will have to make another one after Mazepin retires
That F1 clips of him... I got the feeling that we found Vettels idol :))))
Just Kidding :) Maybe the problem was his team. I think if he would have driven for williams he maybe would won the Spanish GP lulul :D
Just gotta say this... Kudos for pronouncing the names properly. Most people don't bother but it makes a difference. Cheers.
"Deja Vu!

yuji ide is called the worst f1 driver: pastor Maldonado "hold my beer"
Maldonado won a race, so he can't be standed as "worst" driver in F1 history
How can Maldonado be the worst driver ever when he won a race!? A least he achieved more in F1 than the massivly overrated Hulkenberg.
@@FCB001 you are absolutely correct, but you cant say the shunts Maldonado would get into weren't ridiculous

Probably with the Toyota Gazoo Racing or some other Toyota program....
