Worst Ever A1GP driver
Contenders that spring to mind:
Ma Qinghua (CHN) - basically straight out of karting, and was therefore well over his head. Only had two races to prove how slow he was, but to his credit seemed to be able to keep it on the track. Christian Jones (AUS) - Came to A1GP with the credentials of winning the Asian F3 series, but apparently with significantly better equipment than what his competitors had. Found space on the back row of the A1GP grid, leading dad to even comment on live TV that Australia's poor form might be "something to do with the driver". Mathius Lauda (AUT) - Another famous "son of", but same dire lack of speed as Jones Jnr. From memory didn't score any points, a feat achieved by Patrick Friesacher in his first race when Lauda wasn't available. Nur Ali (PAK) - Regularly three or four seconds off the pace, and not only that also could not seem to keep it in a straight line. Spinning on the front straight at Zandvoort and as a result blocking the pit entrance was not a good start, and it didn't really get any better. A nice guy off the track though. Jin-Woo Hwang (KOR) - So far looks like a Korean version of Nur Ali, i.e. slow and prone to spinning. Makes one wonder why someone spends millions on an A1GP franchise and then guarantees coming last with a no-hope driver. If making this a vote I'd give it to Nur Ali for the number of spins, but give Jin-Woo Hwang time, he may yet fail to improve. |
