Ferrari's worst Formula 1 cars 

It's funny how Ferrari once said aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines yet most of these cars were bad because of the engine

Jean Alesi drove 3 out of 9 cars mentioned on the list. Very unlucky guy.

Do a list on the most overhyped cars like the 2019 Ferrari after pre season last year

Without any question the T5 of 1980 was the worst. Even a world champion couldn't qualify it at some races. That is dire to say the least.

Wow that 1986 car was a chunk

Not gonna lie, it's quite an achievement that even their worst cars managed to get some podiums, when you see how some legendary teams/constructors have fallen (McLaren Honda, Renault, Williams since 2018, Lotus)

Ferrari 2020: "Intellectual property is a very important asset of a company." Ferrari 1955: "Let's obtain this D50 from Lancia and run it for multiple seasons."

Enzo Ferrari: "Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines." Well, well, well. Look how the turntables.

Michael Schumacher's 2005 car, All of Alonso's Ferrari cars especially the F14T aka "the FIAT". Both Kimi and Alonso struggled with it immensely. I honestly think the 2014 car was worst than the SF1000. Also, Domenicali wasn't ousted, he resigned and was replaced by Marco Mattiacci who was sacked.

I don't know how anyone can say the F14-T was "decent aerodynamically". Watch any onboard of Alonso or Raikkonen driving it. They suffered understeer on nearly every corner entry, followed by snap oversteer on exit. The car was horrific both aerodynamically and in the engine department. I'm not the biggest Alonso fan but is a genuine miracle he got 2 podiums in that thing

2005 - back when the FIA worked to limit one team dominating the sport

2009 car wasn’t great either

Fernando Alonso likes this.

The Worst Ferrari in F1? Their car naming convention.

Awesome video again. I have a suggestion for a new video. How about a list of cars that improved the most DURING a season. Cars that started the year slowley, but became competitive at the end. Cars that come to mind for me are: Williams FW36, McLaren MP4-24, Ferrari F60, Force India VJM8, Red Bull RB8,... You could also make a list the other way around. Cars that started the year competitive, but dropped in performance by the end of the year

I still remember the FIAT jokes about the 2014 Ferrari.

"If it looks right, it probably is right." One glance at the F14T and you knew it was in for a hellish season.

Jean Alesi wasted his prime years with Ferrari. Such a shame

F2005 should not be on this list because the rules created by the FIA ​​for 2005 have been implemented to eliminate F2004's strengths. According to Ross Brawn, when the rules were made public, the F2005 had already been developed. In the past, the FIA ​​has acted to prevent prolonged domination by a team, since 2014 it has acted to guarantee the dominance of a single manufacturer

6:31 sneaky 'mama mia'

In that list, Alesi drove 3 of these cars. Still have the interview when he said that the F92A had an exra OIL TANK to lubricate the V12.....

Video suggestion: What would the f2005 have been like if Ferrari ran Michelin?

Ferrari had the weakest power unit in 2014 2015 Honda: hold my sake

I feel like the f2012 should have been on the list, despite Alonso nearly dragging it to a championship, it was pretty bad aerodynamically. I actually like the design of it though

Ferrari in P14 and P15 after FP2 *_SAD S🅱️AGHETTI NOISES_*

Prost, Michael (96, 97, 98), Alonso... Now, Leclerc join the list of pushing shitboxes to podiums and championship contention.

Ferrari's worst year was 1973. The 312B2 was no match for the cosworth powered garagistas, their world championship endurance team was closing and lead driver Jackie Ickx left the team prior to the German Grand Prix (although briefly returned for one race at Monza). In order to improve on Ferrari's performance Luca di Montezemolo was brought in as team manager in 1974. This allowed Mauro Forghieri to concentrate on the design of the successful 312T. Also check out the strange experiments of the Spazzaneve and six wheeled 312T6

I would like to see a simiar video for McLaren

The picture you show at 11:16 when talking about the 312T5's 180° V12 engine is actually of the 126CK's 120° hot-V twin turbo V6.

After Lauda left, till Michael arrived most of the ferraris were bad. Not all, there are some good cars, they won 2 constructors championships, and Prost was close to win the Title, but for every god car there is 2 or 3 awful

I like the balance you provide in your videos. For example, highlighting very early that your sample set of less than optimal vehicles were from the last 70 years...

Another cracking video guys, It just goes to show you guys made the Autosport channel what it is, as you now have more subs than them!

I recall the F92A. It was horrid despite the technology invested in the dual floor. It also seemed to end the careers of both Cappelli and Larini.

Ferrari is consistently unprepared.

I think the 1980 Ferrari 312T5 was the worst by some margin. From constructors champions to 10th place in just one year must be a record :D Reigning champion Jody Scheckter only managed to score 2 points during 1980 season! Classic Ferrari issue, thinking past success will carry to future success.

What about the F2012? It was pretty disappointing as well

Agree. The F92A was the worst Ferrari since (at least) the beginning of the 80's. That car ended Capelli's career.

8:54 Someone is laughing in the background when Edd says 'Ferrari F14T'. :D

when you talked about the ferrari 312/69 i remembered the 1970 ferrari 312b2. that car has the greatest engine sound ive ever heard from an f1 car, it was in an old shell advert at about the 1 min mark

I love the way Edd Straw pronounces the word 'début' at 7:36.

in my opinion, the 92 car is one of the most beautiful F1 cars ever

2:31 : hasn't that been the case always. Bar the Schumacher- Brawn- Todt era..

The 1973 312B3 „Spazzaneve“ is missing. Of course, it was the first version of the famous 1974-1976 cars. But the 1973-version was a failure.

Thanks guys i have been looking for something light this

9:05. Ferrari it’s James

There is just 1 thing that I find hilarious about "F1 fans". During years where Ferrari is underperforming they all like to make fun of Ferrari and say silly stuff but it literally takes 2 points to shut them up : 1) Ferrari has been in F1 the longest of any team. It's MATHEMATIC that they were going to have several underperfoming cars by staying in the sport for 70 years. Teams like Mercedes will always make you notice how they rarely make terrible cars..but that's because they will just leave the sport once they'll stop winning! We've seen MAAANY teams do this throughout these 70 years (Mercedes included) and you can be damn sure it will happen again soon. 2) If you have so many bad things to say about a team that has won 16 constructors, 15 driver titles and has fought for the title and won several races in so many years (including the last 3 so it's not like we're talking about just the 70s and 80s here), I can't even imagine what you have to say about Mclaren and Williams spending most of the last decade at the very back, not winning a race for 8 seasons in a row and not winning a constructor for more than 2 decades now! The painful truth is that F1 has just got worse and worse in the past 15 years. What used to be a constant experimentation and innovation (possible throughout the huge freedom that was given to the engineers) has now become a pathetic, stale competition where teams are extremely limited in car development and can't really do much to change they way things go. In the past 10 seasons, only 2 different teams won the constructor and the driver championship...TWO TEAMS IN TEN YEARS. Do I really need to say anything else?

Truth is when you've made Formula 1 cars for 70 years some of them are gonna be bad, while some will be huge successes

I like the music with this video 👏🏼 and the video of course 😂

2019, 2020 cars are not bad cars. They are not as good as the other 3.

Kimi saved the 2009 car being on this list

The F60 of 2009 would be on my list. Falling from Constructors Champions in 2008 with 172 points to 4th in 2009 with 70 points. Whilst it was initially not as far off the ultimate pace as fellow 2008 championship contenders McLaren, the car showed the lack of effort by the team pushing for the title in 2008 as long as they did (they missed the trick with the double diffuser for example). On top of this, from the driver's perspective, due to the packaging of the Motor/Generator Unit and energy store for the KERS system, which were fitted beneath the fuel tank in an attempt to keep the heavy mass as low as possible, the drawback was the increased centre of gravity when race fuel was added. Although Massa and Raikkonen were able to get the car relatively close to the front (indeed Raikkonen won the Belgian Grand Prix) the drivability problems would rear its head when Massa was severely injured in Hungary. Neither of the drivers hired to stand in for him, Luca Badoer and Giancarlo Fisichella, could cope with the handling characteristics (Badoer qualified and finished last in both of the races he participated in) and with McLaren finding better performance after the German Grand Prix, with Hamilton out scoring everyone from Hungary onwards (in which he scored 2 wins and 4 pole positions between Hungary and Abu Dhabi) Ferrari ceased development on the F60 to try to improve for 2010

Good to know I have a model of one of these on my shelf at home

9:21 I can feel Alonso's pain

Do a Williams worst - on second thoughts you probably don't have that much free time.

I'm surprised the F2012 isn't here, either that or I'm a relatively new F1 fan and don't know how much worse the cars on the list are compared to the F2012

They seem to always be playing catch-up on new tech / rule changes; it is very worrying for the next 3-5 years, given the engine development restrictions and the totally new car design for 2022. 2019 with that "hot" engine will be seen as their last glory year for some time.

Sf1000: am I a joke to you?

This hurts

When you think of Ferrari you also think of money. With their budget and F1 bonuses, the last championship in 2007 sounds like a joke. It would be interesting to compare the budgets of the teams and their results in different years to see who achieves the most.

Can we have this type of video with all the teams please?😊

"SF1000 has entered the chat"

3:29 "In the background Ferrari was being torn apart by politics." It's nice such a thing hasn't happened again, oh wait.....

very nice video

The F2005 was mainly bridgestone's problem , every car using bridgestone was in the midfield to last , the tyres worked on Ferrari at Imola race only

I like no one is talking about the SF-16H 😂🤣

9:56 Ferrari sponsored by Haas

The 312T5 was by far the worst because it was so uncompetitive and slow 1979 world champion Jody Scheckter failed to qualify it in some races and Gilles Villeneuve barely put it at the far end of the grid. However the 1973 Ferrari 312B3 deserves to be on this list. So bad it didn't even finish on the podium in a single race of 1973. And when Niki Lauda got to test this car in late 1973 he openly called said:"It's sh*t!" to Enzo Ferrari himself. And those who believe the 1974 car is the same have no clue. Three different version of the 312B3 were made by Ferrari and all three were distinct enough to get their own type names.

The fact that calling out the word "V10" in Ferraris garage in the 90s was like calling out Vodemorts name did hurt them alot. In the end the rules forced them away form their beloved bad V12 and they were suddenly competitive again in 1997 :D

Next McLaren and Williams :)

0:00 What Mesut Ozil is doing here?

In other words: Ferrari always suffer with huge changes on regulations. - F14T (2014) - F2005 (2005) - F60 (2009) - F2012 (2012) - F93A (1993)

I think the F2005 was actually a better *car* - let down more by the tyres - than the F2012 which, although it nearly won the championship, was benefited by tyre behaviour that no one had yet mastered and the inconsistency/unreliability of others. Michael’s pole in Hungary in 2005 was a better show of outright pace than anything the F2012 could muster (albeit with Alonso somehow dragging out 3 wins in race/mixed weather conditions)

Ferrari = the banter club of F1 imagine having so much history and resources and haven't won a championship for 13 years and they get more prize money than the current champions mercedes only because of thier history glad to see Ferrari struggling overrated team

3:31 “Ferrari was being torn apart by politics”, things havent changed much

I think Ferrari's F310 was not great. I remember Eddie Irvine saying in an interview years after driving it that he was surprised Schumacher was able to push it for wins, as the car felt like a dog to drive!

Excellent!

Alternate title : Ferrari's collection of SF1000's

These guys are such a joke, they always bash Ferrari in their videos

The F310 surely had to make this list

Kind of weird sequencing to do the 642/643 first, then the 86, then the 1993 car. Especially considering it wasn’t a ranked list...

"The Type 015 Flat-12 Boxer Engine" Not a boxer, then show off their Turbo engine

Less Prancing Horse, more a Limping Donkey.

How about looking at Ferrari's worst 10 cars that have won at least 1 race in another video? Bet that would be quite interesting (C126K (1981), F310, F60, F2012 are a few examples)

Falling behind by basing a car off of a previously successful design.....sounds like the SF1000. With the season over, it might deserve a place here.

Hardly fair to add f2005 when the rules were SPECIFICALLY changed to stop Ferrari........

Haters gonna hate, no matter what Ferrari do. Have fun, cheers.

I would have added the 1973 312B3. An absolute stinker that caused them to pull out of several races.

For all those that aren’t into British locomotives, the “Pannier Style” fuel tanks derive their name from the Great Western Railway’s pannier tank engines.

Ferrari--persistent under-performers compared to their self-importance. Take away Michael and they are mediocre at best.

"Ferraris are for people who can't build engines".

A video idea - biggest F1 team declines between two seasons. Examples - Lotus 2013-2014, McLaren 2012-2013, Ferrari 2004-2005, Honda 2006-2007, McLaren 1993-1994, Lotus 1978-1979, you get the point. A team doing well in one season and FAR worse the next season.

The F2005 would have been a better car had Bridgestone not completely screwed up on their tires. I think Renault would have won ultimately because of the inertial damper but it would have been Renault one and Ferrari 2. Outside of that this list could have been just Ferrari's first half of the 90's and the 2009 and 2014 Ferrari.

05’ car was F1 way to cock block ferrari from another championship. Funny ya don’t see the British bias doing the same for their golden boy cry baby a Hamilton 🧐

First

Binnoto: whys our car so slow Engineers: slow button on slow button on

Guys, are you not going to draw attention to the current RP situation regarding Ferrari's position and last year's engine issues? I know you covered it is individually, but this is a big story in itself. I'm really surprised you haven't done so already. Thanks, Col

What a shame the 643 was a failure- really one of if not the most beautiful car on the grid besides the Jordan that year.

5:49 is that a dot matrix scoreboard in the background? That's advanced for 1958

To this day the Ferrari 641 and 642 are results aside to my eye the most beautiful looking and sounding F1 cars ever. i could look at them and listen to them for hours. i'm not even a Ferrari fan either. i wish we had the 10 and 12 cylinder engines back.

Great Timing
