Some rumors about that McLaren have brought Cosworth. McLaren have denied there true.

Deletraz was really bad, but there were some other I can recall from the 90's that were very bad too, Lavaggi, Schiattarella, Belmondo, Adams, Lagorce, it's really hard to tell who was the worst of them all, but of course Deletraz performances were incredibly bad. Now, if we could place the friday testers there, nobody beats Chanoch Nissany in this competition

Uncle Jacques were a winner in CART. Don't be a big mouth.

I think you missed the point here, his CART career or his career in any other series is not what I'm talking about, its the F1 worst driver and his career in F1 was a total disaster. If we would consider the previous racing series the drivers has been before F1, many drivers we may consider bad would have to be considered as good.

Doesn't mean he was a bad driver.

Perry McCarthy for instance, who'd have done any better in that car? No one!

Of course, that's why it is Formula 1.

It's impossible to conceive a more ridiculous F1 career than Deletraz anyhow.

Doesn't mean he was a bad driver, but a bad F1 driver, the best example of that was Andretti, he was an excelent driver in the USA, but his performances in F1 were horrible. About McCarthy, he didn't really had a chance in that car, it was indeed terrible, but Moreno was able to qualify once for the Monaco GP. Anyway it's too tough to judge, different eras, different cars, it's like telling who was the better, there will be always different opinions and different ways to analyze that.

Why that distinction? F1 is racing, Indycar is racing, Le Mans is racing, DTM racing, all that matters is whether you are a good racing driver or not.

If you think about how slow he was in comparison to the teammate and the other drivers, for sure! If I remember correctly, in Estoril in 1995 he was around 11, 12s slower than the pole position in a short track. He only got qualified back there cause there were no other teams and drivers to get him out of the starting grid.

I made that distinction about Villeneuve uncle, like I did with the Andretti example, because I'm talking not about his overall driving skills, but the performance he showed in a F1 car. Zanardi was a fantastic driver, his performances in CART were amazing, but in his comeback to F1 in 1999 he was terrible, not a single point in the whole season, a total frustration to his fans, that means he was a bad driver? No, he was a great driver, but he was bad in his F1 performance.

Well, yeah. But at least he have the coolest name ever in racing : Jean-Denis Delétraz(if you know how it sounds in French, obviously)

phil, agree with you. C32 is gorgeous and, to me, best looking car since regulation change, by quite a margin

I didn't know about it...
big there was a difference?

There was the time Perry didn't have an engine allegedly, even sent out on wet tyres. And of course the steering at Spa. It was basically only a car for the sake of having two.

IIRC, Andrea Moda only took their second car because it was mandatory to have two cars. But Perry's car broke down even before he could leave the pits for the first time, at Barcelona during the pre-qualification session.

Funny thing is according to Moreno, McCarthy was, let's say, quite an overconfident driver.

According to Inoue's twitter, he won that "worst driver competition" lol ... here's a quote from him "Big celebration is going on. Now I'm a official worst F1 driver of last 20 years. I beat very strong contenders with big sweat!"
