Luca Badoer

Badoer was born in Montebelluna, Veneto, Italy.{{cite web|url=http://www.formula1.com/teams_and_drivers/drivers/37/ |title=Luca Badoer |publisher=Formula 1 |access-date=2009-08-23 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090821084137/http://www.formula1.com/teams_and_drivers/drivers/37/ |archive-date=August 21, 2009 }} He raced karts in his youth starting in 1985 and scored two wins. In 1986, Badoer drove in the 100cc category to become the karting champion of Venice and became national champion the following year. He won the Italian championship in the 100cc international class in 1988.{{cite web|url=http://www.driverdb.com/drivers/433/|title=Luca Badoer|publisher=Driver Database|access-date=2009-08-23}}{{cite web|url=http://www.shell.com/home/content/motorsport/ferrari/formula_one_2009/the_team/driver_profiles/luca_badoer/ |title=Luca Badoer - Biography |publisher=Shell Motorsport |access-date=2009-08-23 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090829001402/http://www.shell.com/home/content/motorsport/ferrari/formula_one_2009/the_team/driver_profiles/luca_badoer/ |archive-date=August 29, 2009 }}"Luca Badoer Biography" (Before Formula One) [http://www.f1rejects.com/drivers/badoer/biography.html#before f1rejects.com] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605235925/http://www.f1rejects.com/drivers/badoer/biography.html#before |date=June 5, 2011 }}

In 1989, Badoer moved to single-seater racing, joining the Trivellato team in the Italian Formula Three Championship driving a Dallara/Alfa Romeo. In 1990 he moved to the MRD Team. Driving a Ralt RT33 Alfa Romeo, he defeated Alex Zanardi and Roberto Colciago to win the final race of the 1990 season and finished 10th in the championship. In 1991 he moved to the Supercars team driving a Dallara 391 Alfa Romeo to win four races in succession, but was disqualified after a technicality concerning his tyres. Badoer finished 4th overall in the championship taking 33 points. In 1992 Badoer graduated to the Formula 3000 Championship, where he was selected to drive for Crypton Engineering. Badoer won four races, including a dominating display at Pergusa where he finished 21 seconds ahead of Emanuele Naspetti. While beating a field that included Rubens Barrichello and David Coulthard, Badoer became one of only four drivers to win the Formula 3000 title at the first attempt (the others being Stefano Modena in 1987, Christian Fittipaldi in 1991 and Jörg Müller in 1996).{{cite news|title=Citroen first to China in marathon rally raid; and MSA crowns champs in series finales at Del Mar|date=1992-10-19|work=AutoWeek|page=54}} winning four races en route to the title.{{cite news|title=F3000|last=Spurring|first=Quentin|date=1992-12-21|work=AutoWeek|page=49}}

Badoer had an offer of a long-term contract with Tyrrell to join the team, starting in the 1993 season.{{Cite news |last=Gascoigne |first=Roger |title=Has history treated 1992 F3000 champion Badoer unjustly? |website=Formula Scout |date=2022-10-12 |url=https://formulascout.com/has-history-treated-1992-f3000-champion-badoer-unjustly/98918|accessdate=2022-11-03}} Badoer rejected this offer and signed with BMS Scuderia Italia instead.

Badoer's debut in Formula One in {{F1|1993}} was mired by BMS Scuderia Italia's uncompetitive Lola chassis, which, despite Ferrari engines, was the slowest car in the championship in terms of qualifying pace. In South Africa, Badoer retired after 20 laps due to gearbox failure. In Brazil, Badoer qualified 21st and finished 12th after an incident forced him to pit for a new nose cone. At Donington, he fell victim to a new rule limiting qualifying to the fastest 24 cars (his time was only good enough for 26th). The round at Imola saw Badoer race as high as sixth, but finish seventh. This remained Badoer's best result in Formula One. In Spain, he was unable to finish and at Monaco, Badoer finished the last of the runners. He managed to finish 15th in Canada. At Magny-Cours, Silverstone, Hockenheim and Budapest, Badoer failed to finish, twice to suspension failure. Going into Spa, the Lola team was gaining reliability and Badoer finished 13th. At his home race at Monza he was ahead of Christian Fittipaldi and battled for several laps before the Brazilian hit Badoer's car and eventually finished 10th. At Estoril, Badoer finished 14th after starting last. After the race, Lola did not travel to the races in Japan and Australia after the team announced they were to merge with Minardi in 1994.[http://www.f1rejects.com/drivers/badoer/biography.html#F1I f1rejects.com Luca Badoer Biography] (Formula One, part I) {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605235925/http://www.f1rejects.com/drivers/badoer/biography.html#F1I |date=June 5, 2011 }}

Benetton offered both Alboreto and Badoer tests in their cars to see who would partner Michael Schumacher for 1994 but eventually chose JJ Lehto and Alboreto went to Minardi to line up alongside Pierluigi Martini while Badoer became Minardi's test driver.

Badoer took over Alboreto's seat after the latter retired.{{Cite news|url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/154510/in-defence-of-luca-badoer|title=In defence of Luca Badoer|last=Newbold|first=James|date=10 January 2021|access-date=10 January 2021|work=Autosport}} In the underfunded team using a Ford V8 after a deal with Mugen-Honda fell through, he started with a gearbox failure in Brazil with a good qualifying in Argentina. During the race, Badoer collided with the back of Mika Salo's Tyrrell and hit Rubens Barichello's Jordan later on bringing out the red flag. Badoer did not make the restart, having no spare chassis. His best results were eighth places in Canada and Hungary and ninth in Japan.

In {{F1|1996}} he switched to Forti Corse to be teammates with Andrea Montermini after Pedro Diniz left to join Ligier. During the season, he was only able to qualify for six of the ten races the team entered. In the 1996 Argentine Grand Prix Badoer was involved in a heavy collision with Diniz, whose Ligier struck him from behind and flipped his Forti upside down. He emerged from the collision unhurt but Argentine safety marshals were heavily criticised for failing to assist Badoer in a timely manner because they feared a fire would break out. At Imola, Badoer had a newer car and outqualified Montermini by more than a second. He finished 10th and the last of the runners. In Monaco, Badoer remained at the back and collided with Jacques Villeneuve at Mirabeau forcing both drivers to retire. He did not qualify in Spain but started 20th in Canada. In France, Badoer started ahead of Eddie Irvine after the Ferrari was relegated to the back. Forti Corse folded after that year's British Grand Prix.

In 1997 Badoer moved to the new FIA GT Championship, driving a Lotus Elise GT1 for GBF Engineering with co-driver Mimmo Schiattarella. Following retirements at Hockenheim and Silverstone, Badoer and Schiattarella finished 20th in Helsinki. The pair retired again at the Nurburgring and Zeltweg and finished 12th at Donington completing 151 laps. A race at Mugello saw Badoer retire with loose bodywork.Luca Badoer Biography [http://www.f1rejects.com/drivers/badoer/biography.html#between f1rejects.com] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605235925/http://www.f1rejects.com/drivers/badoer/biography.html#between |date=June 5, 2011 }} While driving for GBF, Badoer was hired as Scuderia Ferrari's test driver, a role he maintained until 2010.

Badoer returned to Formula One racing in {{F1|1999}}, again with the Minardi team. At Melbourne, Badoer raced as high as fifth at some point until gearbox problems forced him to retire with 15 laps to go. Prior to Brazil, he suffered a testing accident which left him with a broken hand. Stéphane Sarrazin took his seat for the race.Luca Badoer Biography [http://www.f1rejects.com/drivers/badoer/biography.html#F1II f1rejects.com] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605235925/http://www.f1rejects.com/drivers/badoer/biography.html#F1II |date=June 5, 2011 }} He returned for Imola with his hand still causing problems but managed to finish eighth. He suffered from gearbox problems and a spin in Monaco and Spain. In July, Ferrari's number one driver Michael Schumacher broke his leg in an accident at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. As Ferrari's test driver, Badoer expected to be promoted to the race seat in Schumacher's absence, but the team opted for Mika Salo instead, prompting criticism from former Ferrari driver Jean Alesi, who had himself turned the position down.{{cite news|url=http://www.crash.net/f1/news/34198/1/alesi_salo_is_wrong_choice.html|title=Alesi: Salo is wrong choice|date=1999-07-16|publisher=Crash.Net|access-date=2009-08-23}} His best chance to score points came at the chaotic 1999 European Grand Prix, only for gearbox failure to take him out 13 laps from the end when he was running in fourth position; teammate Marc Gené was promoted to sixth as a result (he would finish there to score the point widely believed to be the deciding factor in the 1999 Drivers' Championship, holding off Ferrari's Eddie Irvine after McLaren's Mika Häkkinen had passed him following a car failure that took Jacques Villeneuve out from fifth position). Badoer was so upset he broke down in tears after climbing out of the car.

Badoer overall started 48 races for backmarkers Scuderia Italia, Minardi and Forti Corse between 1993 and 1999.{{cite news|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/77621|title=Ten facts about Luca Badoer|last=Noble|first=Jonathan|date=2009-08-11|work=Autosport|access-date=2009-08-23}}

Unable to find a satisfactory race seat in Formula One after 1999, Badoer focused on his job as the permanent test driver for Ferrari, covering thousands of kilometres at the Mugello and Fiorano test circuits each year. He is credited with making a vital contribution to Ferrari's first Formula One Drivers' Championship win for 21 years in 2000.{{cite web|url=http://www.crash.net/f1/racer_bio/7/luca_badoer.html |title=Luca Badoer |publisher=Crash.Net |access-date=2009-08-23 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100203103210/http://www.crash.net/f1/racer_bio/7/luca_badoer.html |archive-date=February 3, 2010 }}

At the opening ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Badoer demonstrated one of the team's 2005 cars in the centre of the stadium. After the pit crew assembled the car, Badoer revved the engine, and performed several doughnuts, creating a large cloud of tyre smoke and leaving circular black marks on the white platform.{{cite news|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Olympics/2006Turin/News/2006/02/13/1440102-sun.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120720041357/http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Olympics/2006Turin/News/2006/02/13/1440102-sun.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=July 20, 2012|title=6,000 kilowatt ceremony|last=Mackin|first=Bob|date=2006-02-13|publisher=Canoe.ca|access-date=2009-08-23}}{{cite news|title=Games begin with a bang|last=Arace|first=Michael|date=2006-02-11|work=The Columbus Dispatch|page=1}}

On 11 August 2009, it was confirmed that Badoer would return to Formula One racing after almost 10 years, to replace the injured Felipe Massa at the 2009 European Grand Prix in Valencia.{{cite news|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/formula_1/article6791303.ece|title=Journeyman Luca Badoer rewarded for loyalty|date=11 August 2009|work=The Times|access-date=11 August 2009 | location=London | first=Kevin | last=Eason}}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} Massa was injured during the qualifying session for the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix when a piece of suspension fell from the rear of Rubens Barrichello's Brawn GP car and struck Massa's helmet, fracturing his skull, knocking him unconscious and causing him to crash into a tyre wall. Michael Schumacher was set to replace Massa, but a neck injury Schumacher sustained in a German superbike test earlier in the year forced him to pull out.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8186319.stm|title=Schumacher calls off F1 comeback |date=11 August 2009|work=BBC Sport|access-date=11 August 2009}}{{cite web|url=http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2009/8/9732.html |title=Badoer set to race for Ferrari in Valencia |date=11 August 2009 |work=Formula1.com |access-date=11 August 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090813153447/http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2009/8/9732.html |archive-date=August 13, 2009 }} The BBC reported that Badoer was given the job as a "thank you for his commitment to the team".{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8216695.stm|title=Schumacher rules out race return|last=Benson|first=Andrew|date=2009-08-23|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=2009-08-23}}{{cite web|url=http://www.formula1.com/results/driver/1999/37.html |title=Badoer, Luca |publisher=Formula 1 |access-date=2009-08-23 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090714023833/http://www.formula1.com/results/driver/1999/37.html |archive-date=July 14, 2009 }} Badoer's ten year gap between race entries is the second-longest in Formula 1.

In the first practice session for the 2009 European Grand Prix at the Valencia Street Circuit, where he had never driven before, Badoer came last and was three seconds off the pace of fastest man Rubens Barrichello and 2.5 seconds down on team mate Kimi Räikkönen. He was 1.3 seconds down on Räikkönen in second practice, and 1.9 seconds off in final practice.{{cite news|url=http://www.sportingo.com/motorsport/a12095_ferraris-gamble-badoer-massas-car-doomed-disaster |title=Ferrari's F1 gamble on Badoer in Massa's car is doomed for disaster |last=Llewellyn-Stevens |first=Gareth |date=2009-08-23 |publisher=Sportingo |access-date=2009-08-23 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090826232341/http://www.sportingo.com/motorsport/a12095_ferraris-gamble-badoer-massas-car-doomed-disaster |archive-date=August 26, 2009 }} He qualified 20th and last for the race, with a time almost 1.5 seconds slower than Scuderia Toro Rosso driver Jaime Alguersuari, who was 19th.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/results/7921049.stm|title=Valencia results: Qualifying|date=2009-08-22|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=2009-08-23}}{{cite news|url=http://www.crash.net/f1/news/151328/1/f1_rivals_defend_badoers_good_job_in_impossible_situation.html|title=F1 rivals defend Badoer's 'good job' in 'impossible' situation|date=2009-08-23|publisher=Crash.Net|access-date=2009-08-23}} He was also caught speeding in the pit-lane four times during Friday practice.{{cite news|url=http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/22082009/23/badoer-fined-four-times-pit-lane-speeding-practice.html|title=Badoer fined four times for pit-lane speeding in practice|date=2009-08-22|publisher=Eurosport|access-date=2009-08-23}} {{Dead link|date=September 2010|bot=H3llBot}} These offences earned him a reprimand and three separate fines totalling €5,400. Badoer explained: "I am used to a 100kph limit in testing and so when I pressed the speed limiter button at the usual point in the pitlane, it did not give the car enough time to slow to the right speed."{{cite news|url=http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/122032/Badoer-s-fine-and-Button-s-dandy|title=Badoer's fine and Button's dandy|last=McKenzie|first=Bob|date=2009-08-22|work=Daily Express|access-date=2009-08-23}}

A number of drivers defended Badoer's performance. Lewis Hamilton said: "I think he's done a good job. He's not put it in the wall. He's kept it on the track. It's an incredibly tall order to jump into the footsteps of Felipe Massa. He hasn't even raced for ten years, so I think anyone who has taken that long out of the car is going to struggle, but instead I think he has done a good job just to keep it on the track and bit-by-bit he will catch up". Heikki Kovalainen stated, "I don't know what else you could have expected. Sometimes the tyres warm up, or they overheat or they don't warm up, and it's much more complicated than a few years ago where they brought out tyres that worked straightaway in different conditions. I think that knocks the driver's confidence very easily – if the tyres are not working 100 percent you can't push if you don't feel you have the grip".

BBC commentator and former F1 driver Martin Brundle argued in The Sunday Times that the inclusion of Badoer and Romain Grosjean in the race was dangerous, since new rules that ban further testing until 1 January 2010 mean that they have been unable to gain the experience necessary to race.{{cite news|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/formula_1/article6806467.ece|title=Unprepared substitutes put lives in danger|last=Brundle|first=Martin|date=2009-08-23|work=The Sunday Times|access-date=2009-08-23 | location=London}}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} Badoer had never driven the Ferrari F60 before, having last tested the Ferrari F2008 at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão, Portugal in December 2008.{{cite news|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/77625|title=Mixed feelings for Badoer about call-up|last=Noble|first=Jonathan|date=2009-08-11|work=Autosport|access-date=2009-08-23}} Elsewhere, Brundle stated: "It is surprising to some that Ferrari has not elected to use fellow tester Marc Gené who once stood in pretty successfully at Williams. The problem is that, with the testing ban for 2009, none of the test drivers are really up to speed. I personally would have tried a sharp and fit up-and-coming star of which there are many around".{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/drivers_and_teams/8194061.stm|title=Luca Badoer|date=2009-08-21|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=2009-08-23}} During his race commentary, Brundle suggested that Ferrari should use Massa's absence to give a potential future star a drive.{{Cite episode|title=The European Grand Prix: Part 2|series=Formula 1|season=2009|network=BBC One|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00mlxm7|airdate=2009-08-23}}
