Will there be another Life or Andrea Moda?

[PabloTeK]

Simple enough question; will we ever have a team as bad as these in F1 or have these days (thankfully) passed us by?

THINKING THE VILLENEUVE TEAM MIGHT BE ALONG THOSE LINES, TRIED GP2 GOT OUT DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS SO OBVIOUS THOUGHT APPARENTLY IS WELL LETS HAVE A CRACK AT F1 THEN, OOHHH OOOHHHH I'LL DRIVE!

I DO LIKE JACQUES BUT CAN'T SEE THIS GOING WELL.

SORRY FOR SHOUTING BUT WORKS COMPUTER AND CAPS LOCK HAS BROKEN.

HRT are a top team compared to Life and Andrea Moda. Have a read of http://www.f1rejects.com/ for some tragic stories.

Try sticking something heavy on the shift key while you type

Anyway I'd say those days have definitely passed us by, the new teams may still be a long way back but the sheer unproffesionalism of teams like Andrea Moda takes some beating. I'm sure I heard somewhere they sent one of their drivers out on wet tyres on a bone dry track for qualifying, and that's just one of many examples.

Still, the car looked pretty good:

Perry McCarthy.

iirc they also sent him out at Spa in a car where they knew the steering rack flexed. IE flexed until it jammed...in Eau Rouge...
