WTF Happened to Andrea Moda? (WORST F1 Team Ever?)
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 10. 2020
- The remake is finally here! Andrea Moda Formula only lasted for half a season, but that was enough for it to become the worst team to ever grace the grid. Over the years in the history of Formula 1, many teams have come and gone. Some good, some bad, some just outright stupendous. But this team will be remembered for all the wrong reasons...
A special thank you to Collin Buchanan for designing the awesome thumbnail for the video. Be sure to check out his portfolio down below!

#AndreaModa #F1 #Formula1 - Sport
This is like a remastered version of an old game
Is that you on the Avatar ?
@@Truenofan86 it is indeed
It's like remastering F1 2009 with GT Sport graphics.

@@Just_Tong Wow i still preper for my start in karting in my home country of Poland
Roberto Moreno has actually said that qualifying for the Monaco GP with Andrea Moda was the greatest achievement of his career.
That's saying something.
It was, It was incredible. Literally. In-credible. A 2 year-old rejected BMW Simtek design and a car that was so thrown together that barely any fan, journalist, anyone could not believe Moreno doing it.
I thought it was Japan 1990 when he get a podium
@lol shit Moreno prides himself a lot with his work at backmarkers. But he really felt good being a front runner in the CART championship.
Roberto Moreno is like one of the Best Unluckiest drivers ever in F1, the only time he got a chance at front row(Benetton) schumacher happened, what he did in the backmarkers is phenomenal
@lol shit Think of it as the difference between winning a race in a Mercedes, and getting a points scoring finish in a canoe.
At least they competed on a race
*cough mastercard lola*
*cough stefan gp*
ohno im coughing, should I go to the doctor?
*Laughs in USF1*
*laughs in crowd funded f1 team*
Life F1 team
It wouldn't even have been competetive if it had raced in fromula 3000!
@@jaynee8581 To be fair, Life at least made an attempt to run a proper team and had a goal (which admittedly was a disaster). They definitely had the worst car of all time, but they were trying their best. AM was just ran so badly they make the money men of Onyx look good.
@@MrSniperfox29 fair point.
Though the mechanics did go on strike once and didn't put oil in the car.
Roberto Moreno as a figure deserves his own video i think, because the guy drove for some of the worst F1 teams EVER: AGS, Coloni, Eurobrun, Andrea Moda and Forti Corse
And when he finally got a chance at a good team in 1991, he was shafted mid-season to allow Schumacher in, seeing out the season at Jordan (which had a decent car considering they were a new team)
Especially as even in these terrible cars he put in decent shift in.
Imagine he drive for big team
He can be contender for the race win
I found out he is nearly similar to Fernando Alonso, George Russell and Sebastian Vettel
Perform very well on a crap car
Roberto era o que nós brasileiros chamamos de "pau pra toda obra".
Apparentally F1 legend Colin Chapman like him
This begged for a remake, and a remake was made.
This is a cool video considering I could only last 7 seconds of the original video
I couldn’t even last three seconds
@@ihog_xd6762 we still talking about the video?
@@soupisamyth ;)
Sorry to hear that, i can link you to some cialis if you want
"You won't last 10 seconds watching this video"
Considering how much you’ve made memes out of bad teams and drivers. I would love to hear you talk about the aftermath of the 2010 Team Expansion, and how they failed (maybe even throw in the likes of USF1 and Stefan GP).
IMO the story of Stefan GP is the more interesting one to explore because Zoran Stefanovic tried entering multiple times and he's still out there, hoping one day to be in this sport.
The fact that McCarthy was on a 17 minute lap at Monaco and he finished it, that shows that he was either trying to prove something or he was absolutely stupid
Or he was perseverant
@@mariodacostamosteiro7262 still, 17 minutes is fine for a track like the Nurburgring Nordschlife, but Monaco? You could probably ride a skateboard around that track quicker
The car must've been so fucked
@@xavierrodriguez2463 nah, he choosed to live probably
I think it’s the way they were done at the time - the timing clock never stopped, so if you crossed the line, if you came in the pits the clock still ran. At Imola 1994, Barrichello’s time is 14 mins 58, which I believe is the time between the start of the session and him finishing his outlap.
Moreno was a really good driver, able to extract all the cars could give even if the equipment was awful.
As a Brazilian, every time i see the last 1-2 finish for Brazil with Piquet and Moreno in Suzuka i cannot contain the tears.
This episode with Andrea Moda only shows that Roberto Moreno indeed deserved a second chance, and had a lot to show (specially if you compare it to other drivers at the time)
Just a trivia: after moreno's engine blew up at the Monaco Grand Prix, on his way to the box, every person on the pit stops, from every team, clapped and congratulated him for the effort (i am not joking)
That race was also the only F1 podium for Aguri Suzuki, who later went on to have his own ill-fated F1 team. Fate can be a funny old thing.
It's a shame that he haven't really had a competitive car under him, apart from the Benetton, which was somewhat competitive. He indeed placed woeful pieces of engineering onto the grid (Coloni, EuroBrun, anyone?) a couple of times, which was a notable feat in the era of pre-quali. Hell, he even scored a point with an AGS (a shitbox on wheels if you ask me), in an attrition-packed Australian GP.
@@IGLArocknroll Scored a point in a time where only the Top 6 scored btw
Honestly Moreno should just racing in Formula J1 aka Formula Juan.
@@drunkenhobo8020 And mark the only time this team had qualified for the race(Andrea Moda)
A Josh Revell video can never be complete without a dig at Racing Point or Lance Stroll.
Oddly no Mahaveer reference this time though

Fuck now you say, didn't Pablo drive a Porsche in some series??
@@mickeynismocat And he also sponsored an F1 driver
Might I suggest Life Racing Engines?
A car with performance on par with F3, a mad aircraft type broad arrow W12, a dangerous chassis which failed crash tests and mechanics on strike who didn't even put oil in it.
Andrea Moda win the award for worst team, but worst car has to go to life. 14 entries, not even close to pre-qualifying
Life? a don Quixote courage: engine, gearbox, chassis, all designed in house with no money!
@@studiocalder818 The chassis was actually a rebuilt FIRST F189 and the gearbox was a Hewland. They only made that terrible engine themselves.
I've decided my life goal is to be rich enough to have an unsuccessful, shady F1 team that gets a CZcams video made about it. The next Rich Energy maybe
Can I join you in that goal?

@@RandomPlayerGamers what are we calling our team lads?? DOD-G Auto?
If anyone has an AWD car, I'll throw in my Mazda 3 engine and my mate has a 3D printer for the body of the car
@@SuperNuclearUnicorn Since it will be using a Mazda and being the first AWD car, we should call it Weebo F1 Racing
As for the body, only the cheapest material possible for a 3D printer will do the job. I'll design it for the maximum downforce possible by adding a rear wing with no openings and using Williams 2019' floor.
Sooo, three interesting things I found in regards to Andrea Sassetti:
- In a Telephone interview, he was supposedly born in a family of poor peasants who ended up rich through gambling.
- He still has both the S291s at his home
- At the time of posting this, his company Andrea Moda appears to still exist but solely in Singapore (With a much different look to its text and logo)
"Bugger it, roll credits."
You make me smile, Josh. You really do. Cheers mate.
2:00 to be fair, a little British motoring company you might have heard about, Ariel created the famous Atom with a team of like 6-8 people and it worked out pretty well for them
I realize this comment will be buried in the comments buuut. When I was just getting interested with f1 years ago I was getting recommendations on the sport and then came across this video titled something along the lines of the worst formula 1 team ever, so I clicked. I'm gonna be honest the video was... Not that great, I could hardly concentrate cause the sound quality was just bad, and I was not alone if the comments had anything to say about it. So a went off and carried on with my life of watching highlights of f1 and watching other f1 based channels. And one day I come across channel called Josh Revell and he has video about rich energy, when I eagerly wanted to know WTF is rich energy and think "wow this channel is pretty good has good quality videos" so i subscribe when there is only like 3k subs and soon watch as one of his new video about our lord and saviour mahaveer Raghunathan blow up getting hundreds of thousands of views and finally this channel is getting the view and subscribers it deserves I watch as the quality of the content sky rockets, and before I know, it this little channel that had 3k subscriber just a month or 2 ago on the verge of 100k sub's and see channels like tommo f1 chearing it on and he gets get there like 2 days later and I continued to enjoy the content when recently I was look through the channel to see if missed any video. AND AM DUMBFOUNDED WHEN I REALIZED that over 2 years ago I watched your first video when you had no subscribers and now I'm seeing you featured in what seems like every f1 channel and podcast out there. Keep up the great work. Josh
His video style reminds me of what s1apshoes does
Now that you made all these videos about Andrea Moda, it's time to make one about Life. We need it!
Life was an adventure with the courage of Don Quixote: a revolutionary project put in place without money
Shouting profanities at Frenchmen is ineffective. Wether we’re from France, Switzerland, Canada or Africa that’s how we communicate
There was actually an interview with Moreno in Portuguese where he said that the gear lever came off while he was trying to chhange gears.....
Actually this video is longer than Moda's life in F1
underrated comment
I love how "Playing poker in the 80's" is a valid hypothetical for amassing a large fortune.
Cocaine's a hell of a drug - Rick James, 2003
Video about Life F1 team would be interesting - team that didn't even prequalify once, never had time closer than 12 seconds (!!!) to the time to prequalify, always had technical problems (was barely able to complete a lap), it was basicly as fast as Formula 3 car.
At least an F3 car would finish. That shitbox deathtrap called the Life L190 never could drive more than 8 laps before blowing up or the car falling apart.
When it comes to the car, than Life was way worse than Andrea Moda, a chassis described as a deathtrap, by the guy who designed it(!), and an engine with an unproven and unconvectional cylinder layout, however...Ernesto Vita was a better principal, than Andrea Sasseti.
Life: car, engine, gearbox were designed and produced in house by 5 people without funding.
A crazy romantic idea
Moreno told in an interview in Brazil how he got that time in Monaco. He managed to get some springs and dampers with Benneton and some better fuel with Elf (Andrea Moda's supplier was Agip) and had amazing luck. That was pretty much the way he got this miracle.
I wonder if somebody has ever met Sassetti in real life and interviewed him...
And apparently the store in Singapore was closed in 2019, as there was a closing down sale in April 2019.
i live in the same region of him, i dunno about the store in singapore, but he quit to produce shoes many years ago, about ten years ago he was a stripclub owner nearby..
The shoestore in Singapore is (or was) just a knockoff, but the company is still around and doing just fine. They reverted to the name they had pre-Andrea, which is Silvano Sassetti.
Good stuff.
Nice info!!!
WTF happened to Life Racing Engines?
They died?
@@johngancarcik5682 I guess you can say, “There is no longer a life in f1.”
As a singaporean i can testify that the Andrea Moda store still exists to this day, although it is situated in an area where most of the shops are knockoffs
Pedro Chaves driving the Coloni was a landmark for my country (Portugal). The first Portuguese to arrive on F1. Unfortunately the car was a steaming pile of manure. But gives me good memories seeing these footages. I remember the joy that the portuguese petrolheads felt when finally we had a driver in F1
Andrea Sasseti: "I'm gonna give Mccarthy an offer he can't refuse"
Honestly one of the best production value videos I’ve ever seen on CZcams well bloody done mate
Where is the “tumultuous tale of Alessio Deledda” #lordalessio?
TFW you have enough funding to keep your F3 seat despite being the worst full-time driver on the grid.
@@mattslifka Is he gonna come back next year?
F3 just did a post season test and Deledda wasn’t in it, that doesn’t mean he won’t come back, but anyway. To be fair to Deledda, he showed some signs of improvement by the end of the season, unlike The King in Rags.
@@McPlayer8t Lord Alessio didn't finish higher than P20 in 2020. Enough said
Maybe so, but he was SIGNIFICANTLY closer to the pack later in the season, though mistakes were still a regular sight.
Great video, Josh. Any chance you could cover Life Racing Engines at some point? They were... not quite as bombastically terrible as Moda but comfortably the slowest team ever.
Yes please
Rumour has it that the car is still trying to finish pre qualifying of the 1990 Portuguese GP..........
Nice video!
Just a tip: "Perugia" is pronounced puh-ROO-juh, not pe-ruh-JEE-uh. (3:06)
You skipped the German Grand Prix, which is respectable because nothing of much note related to the team happened there. I will tell you something that happened to McCarthy though, he wrote in his Auto-Biography Flat Out Flat Broke: Formula One The Hard Way (which is available on Amazon for $86) "The next race was at Hockenheim. Six cars were involved in pre qualifying on the Friday morning and Julian Bailey, Mark Blundell and JJ Lehto were out on the circuit at a corner watching as the session began. McCarthy, who certainly did not know Hockenheim in a Formula One car, approached. McCarthy had asked his Formula One compadres where to break for the Nord Kurve. Bailey ruminated, because he was thinking about where the good cars braked. "Just after the 100 metre board." McCarthy said "Right." He continued his recce. Bailey said to Blundell, "I bet he won't do this." They stood at the Nord Kurve and after a while they heard the distinct high pitch wail of a Formula One engine on it's way towards them. It burst into view -- what Bailey described as 'that black Andrea Moda' thing going waaaaaang. Bailey shouted, " No, don't do it!" He was deeply sure that McCarthy wouldn't make the turn. Lehto put a finger to his forehead, the international sign for madness. McCarthy was absouloutly determined to break after the 100 metre board. 'How he made it that day I don't know,' Blundell says. We were actually said scared when we told him that.. I honestly thought he was going to kill himself there.' And he went through all that just to miss the weigh bridge after the seesion and got ex cluded from the session.
We need to bring HRT and the USF1 to to this series 😂
The footage at 3:01, where did you get that?! Thats where I work at!
Likely a stock footage database
@The Immortal's tombstone I know that but it's very weird to see that footage.
Perry Mccarthy in his book "Flat Out Flat Broke," that he had an interesting time testing for Benetton at Silverstone in 1992. At the end of one particular run, Pat Symonds, who at the time was Michael Schumacher's Race Engineer, came up to Mccarthy with an expression that read something like" is this man insane or something?" the conversation that followed went as follows:
"Have a bit of a moment out there?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, the telemetry shows that you went through Bridge Corner on full throttle and full opposite lock!"
"Oh yeah, Michael [Schumacher] told me that he can take it flat out,"
"Yes he does, when he has new qualifying tyres and a few kilos of fuel. You on the other hand had worn race tyres and half a tank of petrol!"
What this all meant was that he didn't have anything like the same amount of grip available, he took Michael Schumacher's advice a bit too literally. I just laugh hysterically each time I read it
Ah... the 1990s!
This decade was competitive, but multiple of the low qualifiers teams were incompetents : Life, MasterCard Lola, Andrea Moda, Coloni, Forti, Pacific...
But, on another note, we need a team like Minardi in the near future.
Bro the format of this video like the cuts and the music is sooo cooool, much much better, i mean your other videos are really good but this one looks better.
1:13 shoutout to Gordon! This F1 Team is fucking raaaaaaw
Watching this videos and knowing that we are talking about Italian Cars, as an Italian make me cry... Luckly it's 2020 and we have Ferrar... FUCK!
Having just rewatched the original take on this story, the improved Mic makes it much nicer to watch. Great job!
Roberto Morenos IndyCar career deserves a video. He was driving a Dale Coyne car in 1996 way better than it should have been, then was let go the next year and from 1997-1999 filled in for Newman-Haas, PacWest, and Bettenhausen and did so well in those, that he was dubbed Super-Sub. In 2000 he got a full time ride for Patrick. Got his first win and contended for the title.

Well, I always walk by the Andrea Moda shoe store in Singapore where I'm from. I would always pass it by in Harbourfront Center after work. It's run down, the shoes look old for 'new' designs and it's not very how should I say...known for its service. It's been a while since I've been there but I'm assuming its probably still running, somehow.
Just went to that store, it closed down apparently.
Mastercard Moda would be a scary mix...
Think of it.
I've just realised, all these "WTF Happened to" videos about terrible F1 teams are really just individual chapters in the much anticipated epic tale of the career of Roberto Moreno.
Can you do video about Montoya? Espeacially his McLaren "injuries" and his exit. That would be epic.
"One Pablo Montoya"
Imagine the alternate universe where Alain Prost went to Andrea Moda after he was kicked from Ferrari. That would be interesting, to say the least
This is quoted from Sassettis wikipedia "He now runs restaurants and nightclubs and is involved in the construction business." HOW COULD HE NOT BE IN THE MAFIA??
Hey Josh, I absolutely love your episodes focusing on old drives and Teams, please can you make an episode on Forti Corse? I have a Great level of nostalgia seeing those bright yellow cars at the back of the field. Thank you

Nice to see the quality of footage and editing getting better and better keep it up man loving the work (ps Gratz on smashing 120k so quick from 100)
i work at the mall featured (it's called Harbourfront Centre) and can confirm that there is no longer an Andrea Moda in Singapore (and subsequently, hopefully, the world)
there is still one operating at bugis village lol.
@@newtypekiasu yeah i saw that one too on Google Maps but Google search results showed a closing down sale in 2019 on a singapore atriums fb page. i must check it out
The one at Bugis is gone and the Harbourfront one is closed, I heard there is another outlet at Toa Payoh.
@@AndreNg walao...even in Singapore, Andrea Moda is elusive...
I went to those two places today and plan on checking out Toa Payoh and maybe Sembawang since there was an outlet there... must make sure Sasetti's spirit is purged from Singapore.
Dude you’re getting better and better! Your videos were already very enjoyable to watch, but I feel like you are getting onto another level 👏🏻👏🏻
Congratulations and keep up the good work 👏🏻🎉
HOW can McCarthy actually do a 17 Minutes hotlap in Qualifying in Monaco?! He drove only 1 KPH or he walked
Bottas: wow I am treated poorly
Albon: yet you are still in a top team?
Vettel: yet you can still get consistent points finish?
McCarthy: you guys still have the cheeks to talk?
your original video was not bad a first upload, but damn, this story is so good that I'm glad you remade it!
Thank you josh for this informative and entertaining video (except for the 13 unskipable ads during the video thanks CZcams). Keep up the good work!
Roberto Moreno deserves his own video after all the teams he's been with
Just an idea, you could do a video about Jack Smith in Supercars. He started the season about as well as Raghunathan, getting penalties in every race and being horrendously off the pace, not to mention causing chaos in the E-series. By the end of the season though, he was still pretty average, but he cleaned up his act on track, and actually raced amongst the field in the later races. I say this because it shows how a driver who looks terrible can turn things around. Just an idea, and I would love to hear your take on the story.
Poor Roberto Moreno. Such a talented driver, but was usually stuck driving back marker cars.
The actual F1 team was not based in Morrovalle, but rather in nearby Civitanova Marche. As a Civitanova native, I felt the need to point this out.
And here's a fun fact: by the time of the Italian GP, pretty much all the staff had quit. I have it on good authority that the cars were "prepared" for Monza by a local muffler shop by a mechanic well past retirement age who couldn't understand the manual for the Judd engine because he didn't speak a word in English. Make of that what you will.
0:52
Wasn't there an iteration of the Lotus-team in like the 60s who, after one of their cars had a steering-failure and crashed, packed up the crew and bailed before the rest of the field had even finished the lap?
Okay then, can you look later at Zakspeed F1 team Josh please?!
0/10 no mention of Lord Mahaveer.
But he still lives on the shirt😀
I’m Italian and I didn’t know the story of this team until this video, yet, as soon as I discovered “Andrea Moda” is a shoe brand I never even heard of, all my mind was able to think was “mafia mafia mafia mafia”
Amazingly well produced video. I love the content!
I just subscribed to your channel after watching this video. This one is even better than many stand-up comedy clips 😂😂😂
Great work mate, really like the content
Just got into F1 this season and fell in love. This channel has been amazing on catching up with the history of the sport. ❤️❤️
Great video, I would love to see one about the failed USF1 Team. Cheers.
The intro legit made me think of GTA but it sets on some F1 championship. Nice video!
One thing has to be said about the Simtek cars (including the one aforementioned in the video) - maybe they were not the fastest, but GOD DAMN WHAT A GOOD-LOOKER THEY WERE
Really cool video. Could you do one about Life F1 or Deletraz?
Nicely timed, just finished work...... Nice

I would love to see more 1980's and very early 1990's F1 videos!! Please!!
14:02 That's possibly due to those sponsors noping out of their contracts. Somewhere along the line, Sassetti forged and spoofed various deals and transactions to keep the team afloat.
I've been waiting for this one. It didn't disappoint.
Mahaveer would be a world champion with this team
Loving this already, and I just saw the title!
