Huh? No... I bristle at the suggestion that Alex Yoong is a better driver than I am!!!

| I don't think I would have described Jan Magnussen as the worst driver ever, but he was certainly the most disappointing. Heralded as 'the next Senna', he was incredible in F3, but inexplicably bad in F1. Having said that, his development wasn't helped by the fact that his Stewart-Ford had one of the most unreliable engines ever seen in the sport. Ironically, his form had improved massively, just before he was sacked in '98 (replaced by another under-achiever, Jos Verstappen). I often wonder, how would he have performed in the incredibly fast 1999 Stewart-Ford. We'll never know... |

Well, de Cesaris did make pole once and did set fastest lap once so he can't possibly be the worst ever

And as I used to say - Gaston Mazzacane makes Andrea de Cesaris look like Juan Manuel Fangio.

Whoa, leave off the Gaston bashing. He simply cannot be the worst ever if for no other reason than his press releases. You know what I'm talking about, if you don't, have a browse through some 2000-1 editions of the Alternative Championship. For providing hours of hilarity if nothing else, he is absolutely not the worst ever!

I am not saying he is the worst ever. I am merely trying to point out that de Cesaris was not, either. Hardly.
I stick by Yoong. |

Yes, I also thought Ecclestone to be the worst ever.. But it is impossible to know how bad he drove, and how is that kind of quali time possible. Did he spin in every second corner, or did he just drive very slowly or what..? Was he really seriously within at all?

For sure, at first. But, as somebody already said, there are a lot of people who are more talented than Alex who just havenīt competitive skills into F1.
See, even I won a race that was arranged by famous-in-Finland Singer Anssi Kela. You probably havenīt heard, he sings in Finnish
