Worst Ever F1 driver.
There's been a few. Can anyone trump Al Pease or Gaston Mazzacane?

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

Piercarlo Ghinzani is probably one of the worst drivers to have ever scored World Championship points, and he only got them courtesy of Mansell collapsing whilst trying to push his car across the line at Dallas.

He got 5th though didn't he? So surely he'd have got 1 point if Mansell didn't collapse

Has to be that Lewis Hamilton guy. I've never seen someone so rubbish before. 
On serious note, I agree with Ide. Talented, but not enough for Formula One, and very dangerous. By far the worst Formula One driver I have ever seen.

I remember this guy from a season review video of '94 that I picked up at a car boot sale. Daletraz, Delatraz (something like that anyway) got lapped 10 times by the halfway point of a GP. He drove for Larrousse and replaced Comas.

Yeah, he did, good point. There were only 7 finishers anyway and one of them behind him was the useless Corrado Fabi - brother of (the much much better) Teo.

Alex Yoong managed to spin in the pitlane, now THAT is an achievement.

Re: Worst Ever F1 driver.
Badoer wasn't that bad, you just have to look at Fisi's form in the same car to realise that Badoer shouldn't really be judged on last season alone. He was solid at Minardi, nearly managing a 4th place in one race but was robbed - Minardi's were as relatively slow as the likes of Hispania back then!

But considering he's been test driving the Ferrari for many years, he could of at least finished better than he did when he did race for them!
