  • ''Drivers outside 107% - Rosset''

  • horrible driver, a shame to brazilians that had piquet and senna

  • sorry but rossett by far the worse driver EVER in F1. pay drivers are common and always have been, but some of them did have an iota of talent that would explain why they have jumped a 100 or so places in the pecking order for a grid spot. rossett showed nothing in Lola and even less in Tyrell. the guy was a disaster and failed to qualify for about three races that year and routinely got spanked by the minardis in the others!

  • @mercsmania

    The Australian Dave Walker must have been the worst. Whereas Emerson Fittipaldi won 5 races in 1972 and was world champion, and Lotus were constructors' champions as well with their very competitive Lotus 72 (won 20 races in 5 seasons and 2 drivers' and 3 constructors' titles) , Dave Walker didn't even manage to score a single point with the same very good Lotus in 1972 as Fittipaldi's team mate.

    In Austria Fittipaldi was on pole, Walker qualified 19'th, and 3 seconds slower!

  • @McLarenMercedes thanks! that's the guy i can never remember. apparently the car was a shoe in for every race as it was that good, yet this bloke failed to qualify the thing half the time and when he did it was always waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the field!

  • @mercsmania

    Although Rosset was one of the worst drivers to drive in F1, I believe he would have at least scored points if he was sitting in the 1996 Williams or the 1998 McLaren and I doubt he would be 3 seconds slower than Hill or Hakkinen in every single race.

  • @McLarenMercedes sorry mate have to disagree. remember when sato, fisichella or badoer got their little run out in the ferraris for various reasons. they took world class cars and did very little with them in real terms. those drivers were spanking rossett in WORSE cars. the tyrell wasn't a bad car and even takagi got that high up the grid. the lola was a mess in the end but not the worse...

  • @mercsmania

    Yes, I read on Stats F1 that Rosset usually was 1,5 to 2 seconds slower than his team-mate Takagi when qualifying the Tyrrell. In the races he was also almost 2 seconds slower for his best lap, compared to Takagi's when they both finished the race.

    He was over a second slower than Sospiri when trying to qualify the Lola in '97.

    Verstappen outqualified him 16-0 in '96.

    Rosset must have the record of qualifying last in a race (and many times he didn't qualify at all).

  • @mercsmania

    Takuma Sato never drove for Ferrari, but Mika Salo did and he did pretty well. He was leading the German GP in 1999 and would no doubt have won it, if not ordered by Ferrari to let Irvine past to win the race (Irvine was in the title hunt). Salo also outqualified Irvine for the German GP (his 2nd race for Ferrari) and also in the Italian GP where he finished 3'rd and Irvine 6'th.

    Thanks to Salo's 10 points for Ferrari they were Constructors' Champions in 1999 (4 pts above McLaren)

  • @McLarenMercedes i did mean salo, weird i wrote the wrong one! wasn't that impressed by him as when he went for pitstops, he was unable to fight up through the field. he did however do better than the other two mentioned who were out of their depth. and the scary thing is i'd pick badoer over rosset everyday of the week!

  • Comment removed

  • @mercsmania

    The 1999 European GP pretty much gutted Badoer and he accepted his role as a Ferrari test driver. In 2009 he was supposed to show his "worth" after a 10 year break and naturally the pressure on him proved too much. Italians driving for Ferrari are either made saints or brutally slaughtered by the Italian media as being "unworthy to drive for their team". The same applies to any Italian football player who has done a minor mistake.

    Badoer wouldn't make my top 10 worst driver list.

  • @mercsmania Badoer isn't so bad as his unenviable record (most races without scoring a point) tells he is. He was F3000 champion in 1992, beating guys like Barrichello, Coulthard and Panis. I think he did well in the bad cars he was given and he mostly did better than Pierluigi Martini, who actually once led a race with Minardi and was regarded as a stable and reliable driver.

    In the European GP 1999 he was a strong 4'th in a bad Minardi, but 10 laps from the end the car broke down. Bad luck.

  • In my opinion,was the worst of F1'story.

  • @Deltarally92: nope thats jean deniz deletraz, and a lot of private drivers in the 50's and 60's. Yuji Ide and alex yoong are worse too.

  • This was still his quickest lap in quali

  • Now thats what you call a flat spot.

  • My granma drive better...

  • Ricardo Rosset completely lost any confidence in early 1998. He'd been okay in the Footwork in '96 considering he was a rookie. Anybody who saw Jean Denis Deletraz drive a Formula 1 car will testify that Rosset was definitely not the worst of the lot. The funny thing is, at certain tracks such as Monza and Magny Cours, he was brilliant - he outqualified Takagi and at least four other cars, which was no mean feat in that awful Tyrrell. However, there is no excuse for not making the 107% time.

  • BEST DRIVER EVER! look at that speed he maintains constantly... WOW!

  • bad....... i think verstappen was better than rosset..... bad....

  • If I remember correctly, legend has it that at this race the Tyrrell mechanics swapped the R and T of Rossets' name-tag on his car so it spelt "R. Tosser". And I honestly did not make this up. Aside from this idiot move, he also crashed the car during the weekend.

  • @thestaggie LoL I actually heard that too no joke! xD

  • @puddingpants7

    But, I'd be the first to admit that I would have gladly driven in F1 if I was a pay driver that could afford it. Even if I sucked hard, at least I could say I got to drive an F1 car.

  • @thestaggie absolutely! : D

  • Well, Rosset wasn't the most spectacular person ever to grace F1, but lets face it, you can be a champion in any motorsport category, but still suck at F1. F1 is a totally different thing. In most other categories, the teams are pretty much equal, and everybody pretty much knows how to get the most out of the car. Not so in F1. Let me remind you, Allen Berg mixed it with Senna and Brundle in F3, and Tarso Marques was a talent as well. And they both had stints in F1 they would rather forget.

  • Why is he going back

  • He was quicker in reverse!

  • i don't think he actually realizes that he's reversing onto the racing line

  • damn.. look the size of the tyre. what difference

  • russsian tv?

  • @uudrakgvens94 Clip is from a big russian F1 site. So I guess so. ;)

  • @StunkyXP Oh, thanks :) It's my capture and my F1 site :) Nice to find it after 4 years

  • @uudrakgvens94 yeap it is russian tv

  • Just a gentle lock-up!

  • haha and after this the engineers of Rosset changed his name in tosser:P

  • tuero was a good driver, but got scared out of f1 after a leg break. i'd be spooked too but could've gotten a drive in 2000, because he didn't do too badly.

  • Rosset was so bad driver....

  • LOL now his gearbox, later spin off the race.

  • rosset was one of 2 stand out worst drivers in f1 of yesteryear Deleatraz was the other (7 secs slower in the same Pacific gp car as team mate andrea montermini @ portugal 1995)

  • lol is he stuck in reverse??! hmmm maybe it wasnt his fault?? : /

    even though this does look really stupid, i do have some sympathy for him lol

  • na i thinnk he was just such a bad driver and also i heard something he said 'the 1998 tyrell was so technicly inferoir that it blighted my carrier' he never scored a point the other 2 years as well

  • Rosset claims the gearbox was not working very well and made him look like a complete cock.

  • Well maybe the fact that he didn't relize that it wasn't the gearbox that was making him look like a cock and missing the fact that driving like c0ck was why he looked liked a cock was why he didn't last long in F1

  • Its strange, but Rosset had a good track record in lower formulae, but can't just step up.

    Maybe he just hit a wall on his ability or he failed to go above it.

  • @mauownage

    There have been many dozens of drivers who have dominated lower open wheel formulae, sports cars and touring cars that simply couldn't handle an F1 car.

    Those few tenths of a second you don't get to use to mull things over between corners is just too fast for even some of the best drivers.

  • @PulletSurprise  Jan Magnussen.

  • Ricardo decides he might be faster if he drove backwards...

  • Ricardo Rosset was a bad racer. Not qualifying sometimes...

  • ok who was worse in 1998 rosset or tuero i think tuero

  • Tuero was in an inferior car. The Tyrrell chassis wasn't bad, it was the engine, and drivers that let it down.

  • tuero was a very good driver, but he didn't have a lot of experience in 1998.

  • rosset .tuero drive a minardi and qualifyng 14 in her first gp.

  • Don't be silly. Tuero was only 20 by the time he got to Minardi with small experience. Rosset was 30 with one full season in Footwork & one GP weekend with Lola-Ford. What's more, he couldn't match Verstappen's pace, he lost about 1 sec to Sospiri in Lola & couldn't outpace rookie Tora Takagi.

  • haha, but he can't help this I think. Good driver, but he wasn't good enough for F1

  • oh guys you make me laugh. rosset is the worst driver ever been in formula 1 . hey do not forget alex yoong

  • No....Yuji Ide

  • hahahha xD youre right :D

  • Even the marshals are walking faster than Rosset..

  • Ken Tyrrell wanted Jos Verstappen, but Craig Pollock, who had bought a majority stake in the team, took Rosset for sponsorship (financial) reasons.

    He had 5 DNQ's that season. The only driver not to qualify for a race. After F1 he had limited success in sports cars, but nothing major.

    After this fiasco at Monaco (which was Rosset's fault btw), his mechanics changed the name on his paddock scooter from "Rosset" to "Tosser". You can read about it on Wiki.

    Needless to say, he sucked.

  • He sucks!

  • Erm... No, he didn't!

  • Wasted talent! Put him in a Ferrari and I'm sure he would of been just inside the 107% rule...possibly.

    I hear he won multiple Indy Car, Nascar, Le Mans titles after his exploits in 1998.

  • No. No he didn't.

  • It was a joke!

  • F1 winning a NASCAR title LOL that's seriously a joke

  • Seriously he gave up racing after 1998 and concentrated on his fathers successful fashion business back in Brazil. This is probably the reason why he made it to F1 in the first place, money!

  • ^^^ drivers outside 107% rosset ! HAHAHAAAA

    Wat a dickhead

  • Thank god there's no pay drivers in F1 these days... They were all terrible!!

  • No pay drivers, but there are drivers there for sponsorship reasons, which amounts to the same thing, more money-I think the last of these was Yuji Ide.

  • no men . roland ratzenberger was great just look at his career

  • tasteful

  • tasteful

  • Rosset was an embarasment to F1, inoue was in the same region as him aswell........ what ashame Ken Tyrrell didnt have the right to who to choose, he wanted verstapen.......

    Anyone who rates my comment down is obviusly a rosset fan who's indenial.

  • You could count all the Rosset fans in this world on one hand. You get thumbs up.

  • Do you even need fingers???

    If there are any rosset fans please Pm me and slag me off lol.... will be funny... i'll probs be waiting for at least a year before anyone remembers him =]

  • I liked Rosset. Saying that, I like most of the drivers except Ferrari drivers.

    AKA The communists of Formula 1.

    Takagi was a much better driver than Rosset, but if you recall, he did have some decent success in previous Formula. Probably as much as Raikkonen had, which was limited anyway xD

  • I liked Rosset! but, my name is Simeon Rosset... but i could prob beat him in a race lol

  • I think Ken Tyrrell actually wanted Norberto Fontana but because he had already sold the team to BAR by then he didn't get the final word

  • Naaaa it was Verstappen.

  • @JJMonty91 Arent we all Rosset fans?

  • @JJMonty91

    Yeah, when Rosset was Verstappen's team mate in Arrows in 1996, Verstappen easily outqualified him 16-0 in the races and outdrove him thoroughly. That was Verstappen, hardly the best driver in the field even back in 1996 (when was still fast and talented).

    No wonder Ken Tyrrell abandoned his team before the 1998 season when he heard BAR had signed Rosset to partner Takagi in Tyrrell's final season before it became BAR in 1999.

  • @JJMonty91 Rosset has fans?

  • @JJMonty91 He was outqualified 16-0 against Verstappen in 1996, and Jos the Boss was notoriously a pathetic qualifier.

  • @jbutton113 Wouldn't say Jos was pathetic in Quali, just rubbish!

  • @ComradeOblivious Either way, being whitewashed him in quali is embarrassing.

  • @jbutton113 Same as being whitewashed by any team mate though. At least Jos was in the sport on merit though, Rosset was in because of his bank balance.

  • HAHA!

  • O cambio quebrou e não engatava nenhuma marcha depois que ele engatou a ré

  • Not much of a shock that he did not qualilfy for this race only Inoue is worse than Rosset.

  • r o $ $ e t

  • porra, o que esse cara fez?

    huauhauha

    Rosset MITO

  • Rosset é o cara.

  • rossett wasn't a bad driver, just never had the car to do anything in. he did well in lower formulas including f 3000

  • Humm ....may be you're right ...not worse than

    many other$ =

  • It was amazing he nearly won the F3000 title in 1995. He won two races at Silverstone and Pergusa. Mind you only him, Allan McNish and Tarso Marques made it to F1 from that season.

  • Well, Marques wasn't better than Rosset and McNish had time to improve during his sportscars-years. But his success in 02 also wasn't very outstandig. Same in the DTM.

    I think the most talented driver of that 1995 F3000-season was Kenny Bräck.

  • The F3000 field of the mid-90s were hardly world beaters. Only 3 F3000 champions ever won a race, and two of those only won one race.

  • this is priceless

  • Rosset = under zero rating driver.

  • Rosset was always an idiot in 1998, later that season he tries to drive thru a wall

  • I think under F1 rules he should have been blacked flagged for this because traveling backwards is a disqualification, and he was clearly traveling backwards way longer than he should have been. That was really dangerous.

  • You would get blackflagged for that but only if you do that in the pitlane.

  • It was amazing he nearly won the F3000 title in 1995. He won two races at Silverstone and Pergusa.

  • What the hell was he doing?!

  • What the hell was wrong with this gay.
