Top 5 Worst Performing Footwork Arrows drivers


Top 5 Worst Performing Footwork Arrows drivers
A list compiled by Brian Cotnoir

Back when I published my article on the 5 Worst Performing Arrows Grand Prix drivers, I made it clear that I was purposely omitting the Footwork years, but did say that I might write a future list where I take a look at the Top 5 Worst Performing Footwork drivers, and today is that day.  Nothing else new to say, here are the Top 5 Worst Performing Footwork Arrows drivers (oh and if you haven’t read my Top 5 Worst Performing Arrows drivers list, I’ll leave a link at the bottom of the article.


5.)  Derek Warwick, 1 season (1993), 4 Championship points scored, Finished 16th in the Final Points Standings

Derek Warwick came back to F1 after a 3-year hiatus and ran his final season in F1 with the Footwork team.  Warwick managed to score 4 Championship points in his Final Season of F1.  His best finish was a 4th place at the Hungarian Grand Prix that year.


4.)  Jos Verstappen, 1 Season (1996), 1 Championship Point Scored, Finished 18th in the Final Point Standings

The father of F1 Superstar, Max Verstappen, Jos Verstappen drove for Footwork after racing part-time for Benetton and Simtek in the previous two seasons.    Verstappen’s first full-time season in F1 was complete failure and he failed to finish 75% of the races he entered.  His best finish was a 6th place at the Argentine Grand Prix.  Jos Verstappen would return to the team when they reverted back to Arrows, but still yielded some pretty lackluster F1 results.


3.)  Riccardo Rosset, 1 Season (1996), 0 Championship Points Scored, Best Finish 8th at the Hungarian Grand Prix

Riccardo Rosset was Jos Verstappen’s teammate in 1996, but he too struggled with the team.  It was also Rosset’s first season ever in F1 and just like his time at Tyrrell, Rosset failed to score any points.  He also failed to finish 50% of the races he entered for the team.  


2.)  Taki Inoue, 1 season (1995), 0 Championship points Scored, Best finish 8th at the Italian Grand Prix

Taki Inoue only had entered one race in Formula 1 before signing on full-time with Footwork.  In his only full-time season in Formula 1, Inoue retired from 12-out-of-17 Grand Prix’s entered and failed to score a single championship point.




1.)  Aguri Suzuki, 2 Seasons, 0 Championship points scored, 2 DNQ’s and Retired from 50% of the Grand Prix’s entered.

After two mediocre seasons at Larrousse, where he surprisingly scored the only podium of his career at the 1990 Japanese Grand Prix, Aguri Suzuki was signed on to drive for Footwork.  Aguri Suzuki came close to scoring points at Footwork, but was unable to achieve better results.   Suzuki would never run another full-time season in F1 after leaving Footwork.  He would launch his only F1 team in 2006, but they would be forced to shut down after 4 rounds of the 2008 season.

The Top 10 Most Iconic Paint Schemes in NASCAR Cup History An Article by Brian Cotnoir I’ve talked about the Best Paint Schemes in Cup History, I’ve talked about the Best Paint Schemes in Xfinity History, and now today I’d like to present you the 10 Most Iconic Paint Schemes in NASCAR Cup History. 10.) Citgo, Wood Brothers Racing The Wood Brothers are one of the oldest teams in NASCAR, and in the late 80’s early 90’s they left quite the impression on NASCAR fans with the Citgo Paint Scheme which was piloted by drivers Dale Jarret, Morgan Shepherd, and Michael Waltrip.   Citgo eventually left the wood brothers and sponsored Jeff Burton at Roush Racing, but it was a truly iconic sponsor with that famous number twenty-one 9.)    Skoal Bandit, Harry Gant Harry Gant earned the nickname “Mr. September” when he won 4 straight Winston Cup Races (and two Busch Series) races in September of 1991, and he did it all behind the wheel of the Iconic Skoal Bandit race car.

Top 10 Ugliest Paint Schemes in NASCAR History By: Brian Cotnoir I’ve talked about the Best Paint Schemes in NASCAR, and now I’m here to talk about the Ugliest.   Sometimes a paint scheme looks bad because of whose sponsoring the car, and other times it’s a real bad color combination, but whatever the reason these are some of the most hideous Paint Schemes to have ever graced a NASCAR track. 10.)   Dave Marcis, Prodigy paint scheme This one is so ugly, that it’s kind of cool.   For me the big issue is the combination of Purple & Green, and the Neon Orange numbers make it a little better, but this car is still looks like a disaster. 9.)     Joey Logano, AAA Insurance paint scheme Joey Logano has had a number of awesome paint schemes while driving for Roger Penske, however this red, white, and blue monstrosity is not one of them.    I think Logano and Penske should call AAA Insurance and see if they can use their policy to give this paint scheme a complete

Top 10 NASCAR drivers who never won a Cup Series championship By: Brian Cotnoir           NASCAR has been around for over 70 Years now and over those seven decades we’ve had many fantastic drivers.    Petty, Earnhardt, Waltrip, Yarborough, Gordon, and Johnson are all great drivers and all have won multiple championships in their illustrious careers,   Just between Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt Sr, Jimmie Johnson, and Jeff Gordon they have won more than 1/3 of all NASCAR Cup Series Championships, but there are dozens of NASCAR drivers who came close to scoring that illusive title, but just couldn’t pull it off.   These are the Top 10 NASCAR drivers who never won a Cup Series Championship. 10.)   Ernie Irvan Ernie “Swirvin” Irvan was my first favorite driver in NASCAR.   He was one of the best drivers of the early 1990’s driving for top tier teams like Morgan-McClure and Robert Yates Racing.    Irvan even won the 1991 Daytona 500, but as the decade went on his career suff
