There's a stigma around Nigerian princes. But the story of a legitimate Nigerian prince trying to make his way into Formula 1 just seems so surreal that it makes you wonder if it was even in the slightest bit true? Well, in this vid, we have a look at Prince Malik Ado Ibrahim. And what happened after his time in the topflight of motorsport...

@liamvandeseijp6901 2 года назад

I don’t think it was a scam, i think the prince and Rossi failed to reach an agreement, probably regarding the prince’s demands. There were rumors that one of it was for Rossi to race another year, which he definitely didn’t wanna do

@Menrva13 2 года назад

@@liamvandeseijp6901 sadly it was. There's a well made doc video and some articles detailing the entire event. Both are in Italian though. It was so grotesque to say the least. It was a scam by an alleged Italian architect and a Moroccan playing the role of the Saudi Prince. Aramco immediately denied that it was approached by VR46. VR46 were in talks with third-party people who were faking to be members of Tanal Global Holdings. They did not even have a proper company email but a Gmail one. That detail alone speaks volumes. VR46 have been naive, but nothing terrible to be ashamed of.

@liamvandeseijp6901 2 года назад

@@Menrva13 ohh yikes, that i had no idea about. A deal from Aramco does sound legit, and when it never happened i assumed maybe they pulled out because Rossi refused to race, or if Rossi backed out because of human rights reasons, either or. I haven’t heard about a scam yet, this one’s new. Edit: apparently it was also revealed on Twitter, i had just gone off it last 3 weeks so i guess thats where i missed it all 😂

@Ofitus21 2 года назад

@@liamvandeseijp6901 That's the thing. Media and press (even Dorna) seemed to echo the news of Aramco sponsoring the team, and Aramco was from the very beginning denying there was a deal, or even the desire to make a deal.

I miss Arrows. It's a shame Malik essentially created the teams demise, as in 2000 the car was very quick & competitive with de la Rosa & Verstappen scoring good points and the car being the fastest in a straight line. Only reliability hampered de la Rosa picking up podiums in Hockenheim & A1 Ring. The car was even competitive in 2002 as you mentioned with Frentzen scoring points until the team collapsed. Makes me wonder what could have been. Great vid Josh

@cribbe6547 2 года назад

@@rosarioyeen1371 bit harsh on TWR, given his success in other formulae over the years he did better than other privateer teams around the same time that arguably had better backing (Prost) and not a million miles off teams with vast funds (BAR). I think the issue was with how the money in F1 really spiralled in those early 2000s, after that poor '98 season with a car that struggled with the new grooved tires and the '99 disaster with only 1 point scored left the team always bleeding money, even after the 2000 season when they had a strong car and points finishes they couldn't build on that into 2001 with that terrible Asiatech badged engine.

@Curt_Sampson 2 года назад

From what I understand, Hill was flying a landing approach at night, in thick fog, without current pilot certifications (his FAA pilot's cert, FAA instrument cert and British IMC cert were all expired) in an aircraft that didn't even have a current certification. Doing that alone would be bad enough, but killing five passengers doing this is, well, I have no words for how irresponsible that is. I don't think that people who kill others deserve respect, at least not for doing that.

Simple really. Desperation. Running an F1 team and running a BTCC team are vastly different, and Tom got in way over his head in F1.
