Success in Formula 1 is not for everyone. Some win races and championships, others struggle to score points, and the other running with as much dignity as possible at the end of the pack. However, Andrea Moda out as the worst of all time.
Andrea Moda was hopeless from the start. The Italian team made history of the F-1 as the management of the worst known. There was a team worst from a technical standpoint (Life), but this is a story for another day …
The absolute disorganization
In late 1991 Enzo Coloni, eponymous team owner no longer wanted more. Their cars will accomplish nothing in four championships and decided to sell everything to Andrea Sassetti, a playboy of the footwear industry. In six months, made a number unmatched Sassetti of mistakes, absurdities and offenses, which guaranteed him a place in history.
In South Africa, was presented with the Coloni painted black ’91 model, and without paying any warranty that requires new equipment. Do not let it run, and the International Automobile Federation (FIA) forced him to build a car himself. He did it in two weeks, but did not send the cars to Mexico, citing problems with the cargo plane. The riders (Alex Caffi and Enrico Bertaggia) criticized the decision and immediately dismissed Sassetti, hiring the Brazilian Roberto Moreno and Perry McCarthy English.
In Brazil, McCarthy could not get in the car because its athletic resume was not lean enough to give him the super license to run on an F-1. Then McCarthy got the superlicence, but repented and returned Bertaggia a million dollars in sponsorships. Sassetti English would dismiss Bertaggia rehire, but know that the regulations impose a limit on the number of times you can change the driver of a car, so McCarthy kept his job much to the chagrin of Sassetti.
The races that followed were marked by sporting failures and utter disdain towards English team at this point considered almost as a nuisance. In Monaco, Moreno managed the miracle of entering the grid, circulating a total of eleven rounds before something broke. And that was all he managed Andrea Moda in the F-1.
