Everybody knows Ricardo Rosset had skill. He drove like no other. He was the star. He is the man and if he was in Formula 1 today, he'd be world champion and would wipe the floor with MS...

ROSSET RULES!

After yet another poor performance followed by a crash, his mechanics swapped the first and last letters of his surname on his paddock moped....

you must be confusing him with someone else. Rosset was an absolute joke and had no reason to be in F1 in the first place.

Wasn't Rosset a runner up in the F-3000 championship? I don't know if you can say he didn't deserve a chance at F-1, but he never at any point showed any promise to stay in F-1.

If Rosset was a world champion, then Pedro Diniz was the next Juan Manuel Fangio.

They did didn't they in Wizard of Oz? Very scary too. Not as scary as the apparent genuine belief that Rosset would beat Schumacher. A decent car may've possibly led to a so-so midfield F1 career but that's it.
It's like saying Giovanni Lavaggi (bless him) was an exciting up & coming driver with long-term potential for Formula 1 ;)

I hope you have fun here powerslider and I wish you all the best. Just keep in mind this is supposed to be the best F1 bulletin board on the web. If you want to make jokes or ridiculous statments you might consider doing everyone a favour and posting them elsewhere.

People, People. You think my statement is a joke? He was a star in F3000 but got a limited opportunity in F1. If your god, MS was in that Shitty Tyrell, he wouldnt be able to do jack. So lets consider putting Rosset in a Mclaren or Ferrari and well, he'd be champion....

lol CC.

In F3000 he was very good at the start in 1995 and looked like a possible world champion. However, his team-mate Sospiri soon outshone him.
In F1 he just wasn't good enough to perform successfully.

And for a seat at McLaren of Ferrari, you have to earn it through your own talent, achievement and ability - and be able to drive brilliantly and successfully. Just ask MS ;)

:D

PowerSlider,

You're using the wrong yardstick. I'd have granted you that he was better than Jacques Villeneuve.:p

I think you just have everyone confused. They don't realise that you mean he was better than Mika Salo.

Powerslider : it's nice to know that one who is so young can be so wise. Happy birthday, even if it's one month to late.

Todd : I think he ment that rosset was faster than both MS and JV AFTER they took each other out of the race. Even so, it's a close call.

Rossett yeah, put him in with Maccazane, and we would have a F1 dream team to rival Prost and Senna.











Not.

I am just thinking about three or four drivers who where slightly better and faster than Rosset: Nakano, Andrea de Cesaris, Emilio de Villota and, of course, Giovanna Amati...

Powerslider, what are you smoking? Must be some crazy rasta gonja or something! That is the craziest statement I have ever read. Rosset is a bum, and will always be a bum. Even Takagi was good enough for a CART ride.

Rosset just won 3 races & together with Diniz they had 8 podiums for Minardi team, beating the crap out of John Newhouse & the others ! Best of all he also paid for the Mugen engine.


Of course its only in my Grand Prix World game. :up:

While I think Rosset wasn't given a fair chance in F1, he was not a future WDC. I am a Ricardo Rosset fan, but I'm not delusional.

It has been weird here lately. Lots of odd topics and claims coming up from new members and such.

I have absolute faith that Mazzacane will take the top spot from Rosset. Just give him chance.

I became WTC with Stewart for three times in a row with DC and TAKAGI (powered by Ferrari)...I was missing PDLR very much in that game.

Ricardo Rosset,

The ONLY driver in F1 history who they had to tell EVERY session which way he had to drive over the circuit...

Rosset was the best bowler on the circuit. I especially loved his great immitation of a bowling ball at the start of the race at Spa in '98... a perfect strike.

I feel kinda bad for Rosset. He showed at least *some* promise before F1, but just sucked at F1. Sucks to be him, I guess..

Well Rosset was better than Lavaggi, I'll give him that much.

When I first saw this thread I went to the Atlas archives to check out Rosset.

90% of the race qual reports start with "unfortunately, Rosset failed to meet the 107% rule.....".

How can I guy who did so well in F3000 do so poorly in F1? This isn't a slag - I truly don't know.
