  • Whenever you see a list of the worst Formula One drivers of all time, you almost always see Yuji Ide somewhere in there. His stint in Formula One was short-lived, yet chaotic. But, how did it all go so wrong, after a relatively successful junior career?

    Imagine being a better driver than 99.9% of earths population, and still being called "the worst driver ever".

      that's probably being generous
      i'd say he's safely better than 95% of the earth's population
      although i think Ide was hard done by. nobody remembers chanoch nissany? who was 13 seconds slower in free practice. although by chanoch's own admission he wasn't an F1 driver, just somebody with a lot of money who wanted to drive once in F1
      his son is roy nissany. william's new er... test? development driver?

      Not quite true. He's the only to have had it revoked through dangerous driving. A few drivers, including both Schumacher brothers and Jenson Button, have had their licence revoked mid season due to medical protocol. However in all cases it was merely a formality as none of the drivers were intending to drive against medical advice, and then had their license reinstated when able to pass fitness.

    Honestly, I've seen some of his laps, and although I'm no expert it looks like it's just a combination of things. Breaking a bit early, clunky gear shifts, biting into the turns a bit too aggressive then having to correct etc. No doubt the car had issues as well so it's not all on him, but it just seems like he was a little bit bad at the finer details driving the car. I wonder if his GT driving impacted the way he drove an f1 car as well? It would explain the early breaking, clunky shifts etc.

    Couple of things:
    - Ide came within a race of being GT300 Champion in 1999 for NISMO, though spun in his closing stint which didn’t help.
    - After the 2006 Suzuka 1000km, he did extract a great measure of redemption by winning the race in 2010 - driving for Aguri’s team- alongside Ralph Firman and Takashi Kobayashi, who took pole as a one-off third driver entrant then never did a stint in the race.
    Motoyama was already in his early 30s by the time he last pursued an F1 drive in 2003-04 and, given his accolades, I agree that it’d have been interesting to see if he’d achieve any kind of success with such a late start and no backing from Toyota or Honda.

      I guess, the language-barrier in fact does a lot. I mean, the English many Japanese drivers speak is a nightmare… His F1 time was the only time, he had been racing outside of Japan.
      Now compare that to his teammate Takuma Sato, who's easily the most successful Japanese openwheel-driver ever: Sato did one race in the Japanese F3 in 1998, went to Britain for 1999 and almost never came back. In 2012/13 Sato made a few races in the Fomula Nippon. The only race he even finished? A last place when half the field dropped out.
