Senna was curious about why Michael Andretti performed so poorly and talked his friend Emerson Fittipaldi into letting him test drive his IndyCar. He said Michael DID have the talent but just needed to compete in as many races as possible. The timing couldn't have been worse for Michael as this was when the FIA started imposing severe restrictions on practice time. One way this hurt him was Michael had trouble finding the McLaren's best braking points as it could literally stop in HALF the distance of his IndyCar! To further add salt to the wound, Nigel Mansell vacated the 92 title and won the IndyCar title, the first rookie to do so.

Yeah, for example Kovalainen was continuously sabotaged in qualifying by his team, when refueling was still a thing. They always fueled him up for a long stint, so he rarely got a chance to try for pole. His Silverstone pole was one of the only occasions he managed to negotiate a lighter car. It was almost ludicrous how Whitmarsh would often declare Kovalainen would've been on pole, if you account for the fuel load. On top of that, he had some amazing bad luck and team mistakes/car issues that cost him points and even race wins. Not saying he didn't make mistakes himself, he did, but if he had equal chances as Hamilton, he would've gotten a lot more points in the end.

Some of these drivers got less than a season in the car and had little to no testing time, so it's a bit unfair to say they "wasted their big chance". Gasly has proven to be a good driver for Alpha Tauri, with his race win last year. Frentzen showed what he was capable of in that 1999 Jordan. Andretti and Daly likely just needed more time.

Briatore put him to the track while he was still injured and kicked him from the team, although his results were'nt bad when thinking about his condition. That kind of stuff would not happen today. Lehto went on to win both Le Mans Series championship and Le Mans 24h race and also racing in CART. I doubt Verstappen won anything. Lehto didn't miss his chance, Briatore missed Lehto.

I would also mention ALESSANDRO ZANARDI, racing Williams in 1999. His teammate Ralf Schumacher scored 35 points during the season, with best finish as 2nd at Italian GP, while Zanardi scored nothing. What a shame that even Arrows driver Pedro de la Rosa managed to take a single point in Australia or Marc Gene at Nurburgring for Mindardi!

Schumacher got all the team's support and best resources, while the 2nd driver was only...... well, 2nd driver. None of Michael's teammates at Benetton got the same support and material that he got and after Benetton dropped Verstappen; he never got a fair shot at a front running team. He tried to compensate for that by trying to outperform his material, resulting in many retirements but on several occasions he showed his qualities by even outperforming faster cars (e.g. Malaysia 2001). The fact that he knows his stuff about F1 racing can drawn from how he passed on his skills and knowledge to his son Max, the fact that he is able to challenge Lewis Hamilton for the championship speaks for itself.

Think you missed out Gerhard Berger. Driving from 1990-92 in the fastest car in F1, and still managing never to be better then 4th in the championship. Sure he was paired with Ayrton Senna, but many at that time thought he had similar level of talent. So being 2nd in the championships should have been the minimum to be expected from him. That he could drive he showed as an example at the Canadian GP 1990. While starting from 2nd, overtaking Senna, and then getting hit with a 1 Minute time penalty for a jumpstart, he managed to finish only 14 seconds behind the winner Senna. So over the race he was 45 seconds faster then Senna. The rest of his career was lined with some bad decision in choosing a team. Going back to Ferrari in 92, and then taking over the Benetton cockpit after Michael Schuhmacher went to Ferrari.

From what was seen and has been said about Pierre he struggled with the exact same thing, which is further shown by his character and success at alpha tauri. Albon was visibly shook all year last year. If it were one driver then yeah they may be the problem, but all three, No. I firmly believe that Red Bull is set up to benefit Max, and Max alone. This was obvious when Horner said to Netflix they were pushing to make MAX the youngest world champion, even though Riccardo was with him in the standings at that point. I do not dislike Red Bull or Max Verstappen. I sincerely hope Perez continues his success. It is my belief(and a widely held one at that) that Red Bull is a one driver team built around Verstappen. Perez's Job is not to win a WCT but to be a buffer between Max and the Mercs when needed, everyone knows that. EVERYONE KNOWS the car is built around Max and suits his driving style and it seems that the team is built the same way. That's completely fine, that's their prerogative, I just think knowing that, is strong evidence of why Albon and Gasly struggled. Personally I think it was not the right move to put Albon there, I don't think he's good enough to start with, and I think Gasly given time could have figured it out. You cannot build a Car and Team around 1 driver and 1 driver alone and then be surprised when the others struggle, and struggle they did.

I would include the only driver to truly win their first Grand Prix, Giancarlo Baghetti. By winning first time out in France, 1961, in a privately run Ferrari, he seemed an obvious pick for the works outfit. However, he only started 4 races with the Scuderia in 1962 and had a best finish of 4th and was classified 11th in the standings. By the following year, with disgruntled Ferrari employees and 1961 World Champion Phil Hill, Baghetti faded onto obscurity by joining the Automobili Tourismo e Sport (ATS) team in 1963 with his F1 career lasting until 1967, when he made a one off appearance in his home Grand Prix with Lotus, but retired 18 laps from the end with an engine failure

Ironic that Head didn't like Frentzen, given that it was Frank Williams and Head making the decision to drop Hill without consulting Newey that was the last straw for Newey

Bit unfair on Dumfries. He mentioned on the beyond the grid podcast that he was very much no 2 and didn't get the same spec as Senna half the time.

Yeah that's something that gets sorely underreported in F1, the fact that in so many cases the number 1 and 2 cars are not identical, which often leads to the belief that the second driver is just worse overall. I thought even Horner mentioned that about Albon's car at one point.

Honestly I think the same applies to the 1994 Benetton boys. Lehto, Verstappen (a rookie) nor the reliable Johnny Herbert could get much out of the 2nd car, whilst Schumacher couldn't stop winning in his. Verstappen claims Michael's car had a host of illegal driver aids, and given the FIA found some of them (fuel flow and launch start), it might not be too far from the truth...

What about Frentzen in the all-conquering Williams in 1997? He won 1 race compared to Villenueve's 7 and the title.

Maybe Coulthard in 1998-2000. After he did very well in 1996 and 97 against Hakkinen but however in 1998-2000 where McLaren could easily fight for the titel he stood very much in the shadow of Hakkinen. I would claim a combination of beeing unlucky with reliability and not quite reaching the constancy in terms of race craft like Hakkinen did

Good collection of info! WRT US drivers being successful in F1 as a driver, they really needed to run the Euro feeder series in Europe to be successful in F1. It is different. I applaud Michael Andretti for being realistic and returning back to the US. Just look at his success now as a driver and team owner.

There's been a video concept stuck in my head for quite a while (of which I don't know whether such a video was made): 10 wasted championship (drivers' or constructors', or even both) opportunities. A perfect example would be 2008 when BMW Sauber, after securing a 1-2 in Canada, completely dropped the development of their 2008 car in favor of the 2009 regulations (and we all know how that turned out 😠), effectively putting Kubica out of championship contention in China.

J. Verstappen's 1994 season also included the fireball incident during a pit stop in the German GP, while Eddie Irvine would spend four years as Michael's teammate in the German 7-time champion's first four years with Ferrari (and missing out on the 1999 title himself following Michael's broken leg in Silverstone thanks largely to the efforts of Marc Gene in the European GP)

Kovalainen was a genuinely lovely guy, much liked by his mechanics etc. Maybe his downfall was being too nice.

I'm glad Rubens wasn't on this list, as it is clear neither team (Ferrari or Brawn) wanted him to fight for the championship.

What most people forget is hat Williams had given up on Hill at the end of 95 so they signed Frentzen for 97 already at the start of 96. At that time it seemed to make sense because driving a Sauber Frentzen looked like a future world champion. Even today in a vacuum I would consider Frentzen to be a more talented driver than Hill who entered F1 in his 30s driving motorcycles before. When they were teammates at Jordan Frentzen was clearly superior. I would say that Hill was a better driver for Williams because of his professionalism and willingness to listen given his lack of racing experience. Frentzen was a better driver for a small team like Jordan (or Sauber) because his pure talent could get more out of a slower car.

I don't really understand how Gasly/Albon "wasted" their opportunities. They were never going to beat or even match Max, didn't get the support they needed (at least emotionally), and we're definitely trying hard. It hurts to see the start of this same machine now with Perez. It takes awhile to get used to cars. Look at how much Ricciardo is struggling at the start with McLaren. He did finally beat Lando last race, but it wasn't an instant thing. I do believe Perez will get better with the car, I just hope he has the chance before all the Max worshippers start calling for his head.

Great list. But i think its slightly unfair with the gasly/albon thing. The redbull 2nd seat drivers endure far more team management pressure and insecurity than the other drivers, even with Verstappen turning into an impossibly quick number 1. Gasly has shown how important being in the right fit in a team can make a huge difference, in his truly impressive win at alphatauri last year and impressive start to this year. While albon is proving to be a key sim/ developement driver role. The biggest one you did miss out on the list has to be Kviat, who has blown repeated oportunities at both redbull and torrorosso/alphatauri, even with the leverage of the massive cash injection he brought with him.
