  • Just driving for the most famous team in the history of F1 and one of the most iconic brands in the world is an achievement within itself, but although Ferrari is hungry for success, countless great drivers and champions in other teams, have failed to bring championships back to Marranello. In this video I look at why some of the greatest drivers of all time failed at Ferrari, and if the team as still doomed to repeat history if they don't change

      @@viniciusbraga9881 "These three won titles with Ferrari" And Ascari, Hawthorn, Phil Hill, Surtees, Scheckter and Raikkonen didn't win titles with Ferrari? Perhaps you meant several titles, well if so I hate to inform you that Ascari won 2 titles with Ferrari and 13 races, whereas Fangio only won 1 title with Ferrari and 3 races (his team mate Collins won 2 and would have been champion if not giving Fangio his car at the British GP). Fangio himself never liked racing for Ferrari and told Stirling Moss "If you sign for Ferrari make sure it's on a race-for-race basis but never sign a long contract with them.".
      There is no other Ferrari driver who can match Ascari's 13 wins in just 27 starts. Not Schumacher, not Lauda and not Fangio. He also raced Ferraris at the Indy500 which none of those others have done.
      "not only Lauda was great, but Enzo Ferrari himself liked him" Yeah, he liked him so much he had him replaced with Carlos Reutemann while Lauda was fighting for his life following his 1976 Nurburgring crash. This offended Lauda so much he just honored his 1977 contract and signed for Brabham in 1978 and 1979. Lauda managed to get Enzo's respect because he wasn't just all talk but could back it up. He also liked that he worked really hard to iron out his own weaknesses - and early in his career there were plenty.
      You know Enzo only signed Lauda for 1974 because he cleaned house after the abysmal 1973 season and had everybody fired. He took back Regazzoni from BRM (he raced for Ferrari in 1970-1972) and asked him whether this "young Austrian" was any good. Regazzoni said that he was very hard working and methodical in his approach. Enzo also agreed to pay the money Lauda owed for his March drive in 1972 and BRM for 1973.
      Here's the thing Enzo signed Regazzoni and Lauda because he couldn't get Emerson Fittipaldi or Ronnie Peterson. Lauda wasn't high on anybody's shopping list following his drives at March and BRM. Lauda himself actually contemplated suicide at the end of 1972 because he was in dept, without a drive and with no prospect of paying off what he owed anytime soon.
      No, it was most fortunate Enzo signed Luca di Montezemolo to be the team principal because without him Lauda's career would never have taken off. You could however say that Lauda was the right man at the right time for Ferrari in the mid 70's. He was level-headed and wasn't affected by the traditional atmosphere of the team - something which more often than not has led to good champions departing from Ferrari on less than amicable terms.
      Schumacher deserves respect because he did what everybody though was impossible - bringing a drivers' title to Ferrari after over 20 years. That being said he was also backed up by the very strong team of Todt-Brawn-Byrne.
      "Schumacher is the most successful driver they had by miles." If we're to measure drivers by success alone Lewis Hamilton is the greatest ever. I'll tell you this though: Great men are always compared against other great men. In Formula 1 that means your team mate. Hamilton did beat record young double-word champion Fernando Alonso as a rookie at McLaren back in 2007. Senna did beat Alain Prost at McLaren in 1988 - at a time Prost was the most successful driver in F1 history with a (then) record 28 wins. Schumacher I'm afraid never had a top team mate at Ferrari. Irvine and Barrichello weren't quite on the level of all-time greats like Prost and Alonso were they?
      It's all relative and you need to include more factors than just "outright fame" and "number of wins".
      Gilles Villeneuve 1981 Monaco qualifying, when he qualified the truck chassis Ferrari to first-row, almost 3 full seconds faster than Didier Pironi, himself a very fast driver, trumps any of Schumacher's Ferrari drives. Villeneuve also managed to lead a race in the 1980 Ferrari - widely believes as the worst F1 ever since it finished a distant 10th that year (retiring Jody Scheckter at age 30 no less).
      Fame and driver prowess aren't perfectly interchangeable you know. You not mentioning Alberto Ascari at all makes that perfectly clear.

    Great drivers DON'T fail at Ferrari. FERRARI fails their great drivers because of their incompetence and because they're too arrogant to recognize it. The only two drivers who were able to wake up Ferrari to how bad the team/car was, were Lauda and Schumacher. And let's remember that when Schumacher was winning, the team was being led by a Brit and a Frenchman.

      I'd throw Gilles into this as well, even though he never won a title (although he surely would have had he not been killed). Pretty much everyone said Enzo loved him like a son and he could say what he thought about the car without being sacked. Compare that to Lauda who was nearly sacked before he even raced the damn thing. Makes you realise just how good Jean Todt was

      Still, Charles shouldn't complain. At least he's always favoured over his teammates by Ferrari. That basically pushed out Seb. Yes, the team f*ck up Leclerc's races too, but only after they first ruin his teammates chances. Happened again last Sunday in Hungary. They pitted Sainz much too early and then let him sit in the pit for too long, just so Charles could pass him on track without Ferrari having to give out team orders.

      Mind you, one of those championships was only won by deliberately taking out Damon Hill.
      Overall, if you discount the Todt / Brawn / Schumacher era, Ferrari has always been pretty poor. They occasionally got it right but not often.
      At the moment, with Binotto running the show, there is some hope. They have two pretty equal drivers (who currently seem to get on together) and they are letting them get on with it. Too often they have had a 'number two driver doesn't matter' attitude. It doesn't work that well.

    Disappointed in the third part in the video. Despite Seb having the longest stint he gets the least discussion when there's so much to be discussed. His Ferrari career was a roller-coaster like few drivers have ever gone through.
    He came from a disappointing 2014 season where - despite setting a record-setting win streak in 2013 - he was soundly beaten by Ricciardo. But he then was amazing in 2015 and arguably the best driver of the season. Followed by a mediocre 2016 season where Kimi almost equalled him. 2017 saw him delivering perhaps his best season in his career where he challenged for the championship in a car that was clearly inferior to the Mercedes and on top of that the Ferrari team made many mistakes - particularly in strategy - that hindered him. This ties in perfectly with the story of Fernando's 2012 season and Prost's stint, namely that of an overperforming driver let down by the team/beaten by a much faster car; it is criminal to leave it out of the video. Then 2018 has so much to uncover. From a fantastic first half of the season to THAT race in Germany - which would turn out to be a turning point in his career - to a blundering second half of the season. You barely mentioned the heated on-track battles with Leclerc in 2019 and never mentioned the truly abysmal 2020 season.
    Missed opportunity. Which is a shame because the video was great up to that point. But I'll cut you some slack since I have yet to see a British youtuber make a proper video concerning Vettel.

    Interesting when you talked about how Domenicali made the tough decisions compared to Arrivabene, I thought straight away to the really long-winded message to Kimi in Hockenheim 2018 to let Vettel through to which he responded ‘if you want me to let him through just tell me!’ I think Kimi in 2018 was a perfect number 2 for Ferrari; quick and experienced, and a former world champion, but not quite as quick as Vettel and by this point more doing formula 1 ‘as a hobby’ rather than with the intention to win championships.
    Monza was the place where Ferrari dropped the ball the most tho. Giving the tow to Kimi in quali was such a stupid decision, considering that Vettel had just come off a win in Spa and a win in Monza in front of the Ferrari crowd would have given him so much confidence going into the rest of the season, and he would’ve had a great chance as Kimi showed in the actual race that he was able to defend from Hamilton for over half the race. Instead they had an out-of-the-championship Kimi take pole, see Seb spin out on the first lap and Hamilton win the race, in what was nearly as much of a championship turning point as Hockenheim was.

For me this explanation sounds more plausible than simplistic "crumbles under pressure" because we still see occasional spins when he is in another team and is not under such pressure.

      Yeah, 2017 he was really unlucky in some situations.
      In Canada he got damage on his front wing after Max cut him off at the start. Vettel then had to do recovery drive in that race.
      In Malaysia, Vettel had to do recovery drive after engine issues in qualifying.
      In Japan engine had issues in the race causing retirement.
      In Singapore the crash at the start of the race after making contact with Kimi.
      The points loss alone in these four races costed him a lot in the championship.
      I honestly think that if Vettel had driven in 2018 anything like he did in 2017, he would been the champion in 2018 because in 2017 Vettel looked really strong and didn't make unnecessary mistakes like he made in 2018.

He is a good driver don't get me wrong but he ain't one of the great drivers, great drivers can almost perform miracles, like Fernando did..

And seb also did miracles in 2015 when he dragged that Ferrari to 3 wins and almost beat rosberg in the championship. 2017 he made no mistakes and lost the championship dur to reliability and performance. 2018 was when he started to crumble and make mistakes

    It will be interesting to see how Ferrari performs under the cost cap era. They were always the team that was spending the most money, and still falling short lately. Now, they can't just outspend everyone else, so the team dynamics, and production become more important. If they continue to be the third or fourth best team out there, eventually the top drivers won't want to go there anymore, and the iconic image will be lost. Once that is lost, it would be very hard for them to get it back.

    The focus was on McLaren vs. Williams because Prost seemed to never be there. He DNF'd half of the races but in the other half - the ones he did finish - was never lower than 5th.
    The Midfield was won by Piquet who had a great season in the Benetton. A handful of podiums and a win.

A deeper exploration of not only Prost's problems at the team, but actually even more so those of Vettel would definitely be nice. What I would however like even more would be a contrast why and how others, notably Michael Schumacher, were so successful at the team. An exceptional driver like no other? A dominant car? Better fore-sighted managers and leaders (Todt, Brawn?). And, what are your views as to what needs to change the rot at the team?

    Why do so many great drivers fail at Ferrari? I don't think it's the right question to ask, people are just having unrealistic expectation with Ferrari. There are many great drivers fail at McLaren, Williams, or any team. Despite having all the rich history, it doesn't mean that Ferrari should win automatically, doesn't mean Ferrari can't fail. Ferrari is just one of many competiters in F1 and only one of them can win.
    After the disappointing 2020, and with a no-world champion driver line up, I hope it can reset people's expectation about Ferrari. They can finally view Ferrari just as a competiter, not THE GREAT FERRARI and stop asking questions like this.

Gone finally are the days where doing a Mercedes and lapping literally every other car on track are the expectation. And hopefully it is a good thing to humble them.

    I still can't understand why Ferrari fired Maurizio Arrivabene. They shouldn't have let Binotto decide what to do...

      It's a typical high level management tactic. They have to blame somebody else for their own failures, so they sacrifice somebody. Todt insisted that while he was there, things would be done his way, so when management forced the issue, he left. That was 2007, the year that Kimi won. The team have not won a driver's or constructor's championship since.

      He was the best team principle for that team. I still cannot believe they thought Binotto would be better.

    All the great champions that failed there show it's Ferrari not the drivers.

    Thank for this nice insight. I have been a Ferrari fan since the MSC moved from Benetton to the team. Have so many years I have to say if I weigh what I have gotten as a fan it’s been more disappointments than moments of being proud. That pored with what I have learned and witnessed on their backwards thinking has led me to just not like them anymore. I’m not a fan pf Leclrec and I feel Sainz made a mistake moving there. Ferrari may be historical but that does not equate to great.

    Ferrari is probably the most consistent team in f1, but not for a good reason.

    I just thought about 3 people
    Alain Prost / Fernando Alonso / Sebastian Vettel
    all could not hold their emotion for the problems at Ferrari and they just slipped away
    I can say the team does not have the best management, but the biggest history and fame no matter the heart
    and that is why I still love Ferrari to this day
