Want to watch this documentary? Find it here! vimeo.com/ondemand/andreamoda We hope you like this video. As we say a few times, this is NOT AN AD - we are just supporting an independent project because we like what they've done and we think their film deserves to be seen by more people!
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.
I witnessed his 1st CART win in Cleveland as a 7 year old. We met him at mid ohio the year before and he chatted with us for a couple hours. Could not be more of a delight.
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.
@@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.
@@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'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
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.
Whoever reads this. Watch "The Silver War" by Floz if you havent already. Not quite a documentary but a very well put together compilation/highlights of the events in 2016 Rossberg v Hamilton. His other stuff is good as well.
Goes to show what an amazing driver Roberto Moreno was and what he could have done in a top of the line car. He could have been great. It was just luck of opportunity that worked against him, but respect for ever more for what he achieved with the little he had.
Moreno and Martin Brundle are brilliant reminders of how literal Senna-level drivers could - and very often _did_ - fall well short of winning it all without the right machinery, which is itself an important message given the derision with which most backmarking drivers tend to be treated.
Andrea Sassetti was also reminded of how he, as Team Principal of his team in Formula 1, Andrea Moda showed up with python shoes and a fur coat on the pit wall. His history in F1 is incredible.
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"
The documentary I loved when I was younger was Living The Fast Life, about Eddie Irvine's 1999 season challenge. Definitely gave me ambitions to ride a scooter around Italy and live on a boat. I instead worked in accounts doing lame admin for an average salary in London. I haven't had my boat 😭
As an impressionable Irish 15 year old, it gave me lofty expectations of demanding my breakfast from my girlfriend at a moments request......these expectations remain to be met
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.
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.
Thanks for the hint! I watched and came back to your video just to say it was amazing! Well produced and sometimes very comic! I really enjoyed and watched the 3 parts at once.
I've heard about this documentary before and heard great things about it, especially being produced by an Italian independent, but never got around to watching it. Guess I will now
Hopefully, the doc does well and encourages more of these type of deep cuts in F1. Enjoy watching the super low-budget fan-made versions of these stories on TH-cam just as much as the fancy Netflix F1 documentaries. There's still so much material to be covered
F1 was awesome when we had true backmarker teams run on a shoestring budgets by shady business men. We need a doco on that literal Nigerian prince that sponsored arrows for a season and dissapeared
As far as I know, the question in the video, where are the cars now, chassis 01 is in an Italian private collection, chassis 02 is still running and repainted into Senna's FW16 livery by its previous owner from Austria. You can even found a video on youtube of chassis 02.
When it comes to hopeless, we can still hope for the Simtek story, or a biography of the Brambilla brothers... so many "what if" teams and drivers graced the grid in 73 years. USF1 if you manage to talk to Peter Windsor would also be interesting.
I know we discussed that earlier. Edd Straw doesn't have any kids to sell, but if he did it works be for this documentary. Out maybe a Larousse documentary.
It's a beautiful car don't you think? I have to remind myself that it's stories like this one that is why F1 is where it is today, and I suppose why it's so difficult to have new entries. 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.
What do you mean I’ve never heard of it? The clickbait presumption of it all! Pupu is a legend and became a friendly figure in the Indycar world (yeah, we can talk to our drivers here). Pel was also deserving of a better career. Two great drivers who should have gotten more.
The fact this includes commentary from Sassetti himself does pique my interest. Most of what I understand about him made him sound like a jerk with little in the way of regard for anyone who wasn't doing things by his philosophy. Being able to actually hear from the man could help paint a better picture. I may rent this.
"We EVEN paid our own money to watch it" - oh how selfless of you :D. Seriously, people who have enough money getting even more stuff for free is a joke anyway.
Is that the one that says 'includes paid promotion' on screen through its entirety, and only the final 11 seconds of the 55-second video featured an ad? The first 44 seconds are exactly like many of our other historic F1 short stories. BAR's stupid claim was always on our list to do one day regardless!

Thanks for sharing this…I will watch over the holidays
Thanks for that I’m going to watch it
Saw your article on this a while ago. Definitely will be checking this out during the off season!

I made sure to download it a few years ago when TH-cam kept removing it / copyright striking it
Was to comment this.
Can confirm this is a banger!
It’s better than most docs
All of his ‘documentary’ style long form videos are the best season recap videos there is. You just reminded me of them, I need to rewatch them now
Love that you’re helping this project get the exposure it deserves with no fee. Thanks for sharing

When I saw the black car "Surely not Andrea Mod..."
When it was said out loud: "YES! ANDREA MODA!"
Andrea Sassetti was also reminded of how he, as Team Principal of his team in Formula 1, Andrea Moda showed up with python shoes and a fur coat on the pit wall. His history in F1 is incredible.
W rizz
We need more documentaries of the underdog teams like Jordan or Arrows
True. I particularly want one about BAR
Driving Ambition follows Jordan in 1998, which was a good watch. Should be available on TH-cam somewhere.
Agreed. I'd like a documentary on Minardi.
As a consequence of watching your video, I'm currently watching the Andrea Moda documentary and it is EXCELLENT. Thanks guys
Someone did a subject "les pires écuries" depicted every worst team of F1. Anyone, even with a few knowledge of Molière language, would love it

Perry McCarthy couldn't afford to get to some circuits so was a Tour Manager for leading Motor Racing holiday company in order to get there.
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"
RIP the days when F1 was the frontier and anything could happen. Now it's just a procession.

Morenos carrer by itself deserves a proper feature film in hollywood
Absolutely amazing. Keep up the good work.

Keep the content coming! The off season is made better because of this!
I seem to remember at BGP Silverstone when PM had to go out on wets (bone dry circuit) to try and qualify... I think it broke down anyway.
A masterpiece of a documentary. Huge respect for those who were involved in this project!
Thanks for informing on this doc. Definitely gotta watch this!
3:39
Is that F1 CEO’s office? 😂
Looks shabby
Excellent! Thanks for sharing!
Now if someone could do a Life Racing Engines documentary.......... THAT would be an amazing watch.
Bravo! I think it is really cool that you are promoting this film! 👍🏼
Hopefully, the doc does well and encourages more of these type of deep cuts in F1. Enjoy watching the super low-budget fan-made versions of these stories on TH-cam just as much as the fancy Netflix F1 documentaries. There's still so much material to be covered
Now I know what I'll be watching tonight. Thanks for the heads up!
If I get to the end of this and it says ‘Directed by Edd Straw’ there will be words…
We had similar suspicions too...
This may not be an ad but had me reaching for my credit card faster than an Andrea Moda F1 car!!!
Will watch over the Holidays thanks for sharing
Thanks, I hadn't heard of this but I will watch it for sure!!!
Worth every penny to watch it !!!!
Will definitely watch this over the Holiday.
Thanks for the recommendation. I love a good documentary, and I love motorsport...this seems right up my alley!
That’s now on the Christmas viewing list. Cheers. 😎
F1 was awesome when we had true backmarker teams run on a shoestring budgets by shady business men. We need a doco on that literal Nigerian prince that sponsored arrows for a season and dissapeared
They should make a Minardi Documentary next. That was a legendary team, not for wins, but for being around alot longer than anyone thought....
Sauber too, like at this point they're 4th oldest team in F1
Both good suggestions but these are well known teams. People need to see what they've missed not what they already know happened.
Now I’m more interested to see this film than the Hollywood one.
It might not have been fast, but in the black livery and with a sleek 'early 90's' F1 profile like the 91 Jordan, this remains a good looking F1 car.
As far as I know, the question in the video, where are the cars now, chassis 01 is in an Italian private collection, chassis 02 is still running and repainted into Senna's FW16 livery by its previous owner from Austria. You can even found a video on youtube of chassis 02.
Okay I have to watch this!
When it comes to hopeless, we can still hope for the Simtek story, or a biography of the Brambilla brothers... so many "what if" teams and drivers graced the grid in 73 years. USF1 if you manage to talk to Peter Windsor would also be interesting.
Just be aware it is mostly in Italian, so subtitles are required.
I know we discussed that earlier. Edd Straw doesn't have any kids to sell, but if he did it works be for this documentary. Out maybe a Larousse documentary.
In true Andrea Moda fashion. Fitting
For a second I though you guys just link to Josh Revells two videos on the matter. But this also seems good ;)
Or Aidan Millward's?
Dudes this looks epic 😲
It’s definitely worth a view!
Grandi! Amazing 👏
Thanks for the information; greatly appreciated. You’re doing the Lord’s work, and it’s not even Sunday.
Super Sub Bob adding to his legend.
this is going to be an interesting documentary and it's true it was the craziest team ☺️😊
Please support this F1 community
Oh crap, yesh, thanks for reminding me!
The this licensed and released on The Race. I would defo pay to watch it there
It's a beautiful car don't you think? I have to remind myself that it's stories like this one that is why F1 is where it is today, and I suppose why it's so difficult to have new entries.

They want to make sure the teams that enter are competitive.
That car was faster than the 2014 Caterham
Where can one find the Bring Back V10s Podcast?
Beautiful car
I expected an Edd Straw narration for this video.
What do you mean I’ve never heard of it? The clickbait presumption of it all! Pupu is a legend and became a friendly figure in the Indycar world (yeah, we can talk to our drivers here). Pel was also deserving of a better career. Two great drivers who should have gotten more.
I’m sold
Watch Crash & Burn [Crash & Byrne] about an irish F1 legend. Really good, its on Prime.
The one and only Tommy Byrne. The man that gave Ayrton Senna nightmares.
And stole the wheels off his private car xD@@Kartingheadcase02
Totally worth the money it cost
Ok but how happy was Edd when he saw the documentary?
I thought this was a pers video from the thumb. Rude for copying him.
Nice one gents.
Who will have the 1st expose doc on Bernie when he goes to that big Swiss Bank in the sky?
Say you want, that car was a black beauty!
The fact this includes commentary from Sassetti himself does pique my interest. Most of what I understand about him made him sound like a jerk with little in the way of regard for anyone who wasn't doing things by his philosophy. Being able to actually hear from the man could help paint a better picture.
I may rent this.
Everyone should watch Formula 1 The Quick and the Dead
ill have it up for free soon no worries
Andrea Moda>AlphaTauri
Be careful if you try drinking at every use of "shambolic" 🙃
Yeah, look out everyone - you'll need to take THREE sips!
Call the cops we've got a certified madlad here
But it was a very good looking car.
I mean, it IS an advert... Just not a paid one. It's a voluntary advert...
I don’t mind it as long as the documentary is good
@@butterxo3094it is trust me
Moda , long before the dts trash
Rip f1
Members only videos at the time of Christmas great marketing 👎
"We EVEN paid our own money to watch it" - oh how selfless of you :D. Seriously, people who have enough money getting even more stuff for free is a joke anyway.
APXGP is gonna be the best F1 documentary.
F1 documentary with a fake F1 team?
Mafia team. Remembered for all the wrong reasons.
Good to see you learned your lesson from that bullshit F1 Manager ad you made disguised as a short.
Is that the one that says 'includes paid promotion' on screen through its entirety, and only the final 11 seconds of the 55-second video featured an ad? The first 44 seconds are exactly like many of our other historic F1 short stories. BAR's stupid claim was always on our list to do one day regardless!
