The WORST Comeback in F1 History...

  • With Daniel Ricciardo making his F1 return with Alpha Tauri last weekend in Hungary, I thought we could take a look at, what is in my opinion, the worst F1 comeback of all time, that being Luca Badoer's short two race stint at Ferrari in 2009. Here's the story of that strange period of time in Formula One...

    Badoer was a brilliant driver in the 90s. He had great results in junior series including F3000 and made it to F1 despite not having the budget of many of his competitors.
    He was on course to score a brilliant 4th place finish for Minardi in the chaotic 1999 European Grand Prix only for his car to break down not far from the end, leaving us with an iconic moment of Luca crying by the side of the track reminiscent of Häkkinen in Monza.
    After that Badoer was instrumental to Ferrari's success in the early 2000s (a fact acknowledged by Schumi), pumping in thousands of test laps at Fiorano while the rules still allowed that.
    Come 2009 in-season testing was banned and Badoer hadn't sat in an F1 car for two years, doing only simulator work. The fact that he did not bin it (that 1 km/h tap when parking the car notwithstanding) in these circumstances is actually quite impressive, although he was quite off pace.
    Nice gesture of Ferrari to give him the chance as a thank you for many years of service.
    tl;dr Badoer was an underrated driver and the 2009 memes don't do justice to his career and contribution to the sport. Those who know know.

      Very true, but you've got to blame Ferrari (as usual) for the terrible comeback. As you've said, Badoer came in without any real experience in the car. He also hadn't raced in F1 for almost a decade and was WAY past his prime. He was set up for failure by the team.

    My biggest issue with Badoer has always been the armchair morons bitching about him and "hOw bAd hE wAs". He had literally no chance after a full ten years out of a race seat, there was next to no need for test drivers by then and the F60 was notoriously difficult to get your head around. F1 was pretty cruel to him overall (the Lola Ferrari was traaaash, the 85 Minardi was supposed to have the Mugen Honda but Briatore stole it and the 99 Minardi broke down on him in a couple of point scoring opportunities.) Can't argue with him being an F3000 champion in 92 (beating the likes of Barrichello and Coulthard) either.

    People are far too harsh on Luca Badoer for his comeback.
    He hadn't raced in F1 for 10 years - during which period, the cars changed substantially. Yes he had ample testing experience, but racing is a different beast.
    He was also significantly older than the rest of the grid, but crucially without the consistent race fitness that older drivers like Jarno Trulli and Giancarlo Fisichella had.
    Finally, the Ferrari F60 was a heap of shit. Raikkonen worked a miracle with it to get a win, which still required the main title contenders starting out of position and a huge first lap crash to pull off.
    The fact that Fisichella did no better with that car after Badoer - bearing in mind how much more experience and fitness etc he would've had - speaks volumes.
    Fact is, it was a thank you from Ferrari to Luca for his years of dedication to the team. Michael Schumacher, Jean Todt, Ross Brawn, Luca Di Montozemalo all said that he was crucial to Ferrari winning all the titles when they did. It is exceptionally rare for someone within Ferrari to be universally liked because of its internal politics, but Badoer was.

    As bad comebacks go, it's hard to beat Jenson Buttons comeback in the 2017 Monaco Grand Prix.
    Several months after retiring, he was persuaded back to fill Fernando Alonso's boots so he could go drive in the Indy 500.
    Qualifying down in 9th was followed by a 15 place grid penalty for fitting new parts, followed by a further penalty for breaking parc ferme rules, things only got worse in the race when he tried to kill Pascal Wehrlein by flipping the German Drivers Sauber upside down into the barriers at the tunnel entrance. A move which saw 2 points added to Jenson's superlicence and an early shower for the Brit after bending the McLarens front suspension beyond repair.

    Now just a heads up. What i would note, cos i do feel very sorry for him. Was he the wrong choice? Yes. in the sense that he had never ever driven the European GP before. in a car he hadn't driven in 10 months. and obviously not starting a GP in near 10 years. To be frank the fact he did manage to keep it out the wall at Valencia was quite impressive.
    He raced for Scuderia Italia in 1993 picking up a career best 7th ...of course back then top 6 scored points.
    he then drive for Minardi in 1995.
    Forti in 1996 who went bankrupt half way through the season
    and Minardi again in 1999 he was in 4th (after a 38 second pitstop at the european GP) Without the pitstop he would of came out 2nd. (yes the stewart of barrichello and the prost of trulli would of gotten him as they were faster cars) but he held 4th until his gearbox broke with 13 laps remaining.
    IN F3000 as well he beat Barrichello,Mcnish,Coulthard and Panis All in all i dont think he was 1 of those champions in waiting types. But he did deserve a lot more then his record states. But thats just F1...some people are lucky some people are VERY lucky and some people are incredibly UNLUCKY.

    In 1999 when Michael Schumacher broke his leg, I reckon Badoer's name was strongly in the mix of drivers to replace him, eventually, and understandably going with Mika Salo instead. Over time Badoer became a works Ferrari driver - and in 2009 a combination of guilt and Italian patriotism saw Badoer being bumped up... I would love an alternative history for Luca. Imagine he drove in 1999... where would have been then? World beater?! Probably not, but he could have eeked out his top level career longer.

    Badoer got a bit of a raw deal. Yes, he hadn't scored a point before but he drove for some absolutely abysmal teams like Forti, and if the car had held together he could have netted a 4th for Minardi in 1999 which would have been an incredible result. Bringing him back after a decade out of F1, of course he was incredibly rusty and the car was a pig to drive, something Kimi and Massa were able to disguise because they'd both been with the team for a few years and were used to it. When he was replaced with Fisichella - who had far more recent F1 experience - he couldn't do much with the car either. So I don't think it was totally his fault the way it worked out, though he didn't help himself with so many silly mistakes and mishaps. He did at least finish both his races without stuffing the car into the wall, which probably puts him above Grosjean.

    I think that's a bit harsh on Badoer, he hadn't driven in an F1 race weekend since the 1999 japanese grand prix with Minardi, so it was always gonna be very tough for him.

    As bad comeback's go, last Aussie F1 champion (1980) Alan Jones had a shocker with the backmarker Lola in 1985-6 but I reckon the worst ever would have to be Nigel Mansell's very breif stint in a McLaren back in 1995. Also a two race stint - because he was too fat to fit in the cockpit keeping him out of the start of the season then had handling issues in an admittedly uncompeditive car.

    So Fisichella, at the top of his abilities, having just done a sensational pole position with the Force India, goes to Ferrari and performs more or less as bad as Luca Badoer who didn't drive a F1 car in decades... I guess this underlines how good Luca Badoer was... Even Michael Schumacher was very off the pace when he came back only 3 years after leaving F1.

    Ferrari screwed Luca even harder than they did Leclerc. He was a great driver in the 90s but 10 years scrubs that away. The man kicked Michele Alboreto into the ground in 1993 and finished seventh so many times it makes me wonder what the fuck was going on. Also Mansells McLaren shitshow was definitely worse since Badoer was able to fit in the Ferrari which is more than the king of overrated and overweighted could manage
