Yeah, no one ever makes fun of good drivers like ol' springhead or Lewis "good-based-on-his-relationship" Hamilton or "Hey I just want some ice cream and vodka" man.

Those results in a third tier series are horrendously bad. I can think of maybe a few drivers who had results that bad who got testing roles or bought rides, and everyone made fun of them too. Saying there are tons of drivers worse than regularly getting those sorts of results in that level is disingenuous. Even Yuji Ide actually won F-Nippon races.

I'm confused where to direct my anger and disdain... who do we hate more in Worst Thread? Mediocre male pay drivers, or mediocre attractive women drivers?

Bonus question: If an unattractive woman is a good driver... something about a tree falling in the woods and nobody noticing her?

Edit: I will freely admit that her F3 results are just bad. But how many eyes do you think Lotus would have on its sponsors if they hired Dean Pornname instead. Zero is correct.

That's more a case of nobody caring about Sauber's drivers in general, though. Plus a one off at the end of the season isn't the same as a salaried testing role.

That's because Sauber's team ethos is to hire the worst race drivers on the planet, so nobody thought it was out of the ordinary.

The problem with that though is even Renault weren't as bad with their mk1 engine. Honda had an extra year to see the problems everyone was having and get ahead of them, but still managed to cock it up badly.

I'm getting the impression they might have torn everything down and started again during last season, and all of the associated problems with that have now arisen.

That's the most likely scenario. But the thing seems to be leaking from every possible orifice, its like they assigned one part to each team and then told them they can't communicate with any of the other teams for dimensions or specifications for fitting with other parts. How hard is it to design an engine that doesn't leak poo poo?

Her best ever result is 10th out of 16 in Indy Lights. Her best European result is a 13th place finish in GP3 in 2012. Rest assured I would be making fun of how poo poo and unqualified a person with those results is, whatever xir sex or gender.

mclaren clearly went ultra aggressive with the packaging for this year, that's presumably why there's so little margin for error. and that partially makes sense. they're functionally a year behind mercedes, they can't catch up without taking some big risks and hoping they pay off. but that's all irrelevant if they can't get the car to complete a lap.

As soon as he came back he started winning Carrera Cup races in England. He's a legit talent and he'll be damned if a little ball cancer is going to take him out.
