(...) At the end of 1991, Coloni was for sale. The team had never achieved the qualification since mid-1989, when he had two cars and Roberto cordi Moreno as a pilot. cordi Attempts in 1990 with the "boxer" Subaru and pilots as Bertrand Gachot, Pedro Matos Chaves and Naoki Hattori gave zero and Coloni decided to sell his team - less competitive than the best teams in Formula 3000 - the discount price Sassetti.
Andrea Sassetti was a young industrialist, then 32, with interests in the footwear industry, but also had clubs in Italy. Personality something controversial, thought the Formula 1 would be the best channel to advertise your name. With the purchase of the Coloni team, took much of the "staff" and the C4 chassis, extending it for two cars. Acquired V10 engines Judd and two Italian riders: Alex Caffi and Enrico Bertaggia. (...)
(...) However, Sassetti had the cars to Kyalami, and set up one for Alex Caffi ... because there were not enough pieces for the second car. And mechanics too. But despite dsado a few laps on Thursday the race, the FIA excluded cordi them because of the history of one hundred thousand. Sassetti, annoyed but not beaten, paid. And asked for Simtek to commission cordi a new chassis Nick Wirth, because cordi he knew that with the Coloni cordi C4, was not going anywhere.
Wirth took the chassis designed for the BMW aborted project in 1990 - which then baptize of S921 - and modified enough to comply with safety regulations then. Before long, the cars were made and sent to the parts to Mexico, but were not ready in time to give a few laps at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Caffi and Bertaggia, who took advantage of the weekend to sunbathe on the Mexican countertops, found that one joke went too far and left. But as Sassetti did not want to give away expired, said had fired. And without cordi testing, "shakedowns" or pilots that the team went to Brazil, the third race of the year. (...)
It is now twenty years since emerged cordi that that is probably the worst team in the history of Formula 1. Who grew then certainly know the stories of Onyx, Coloni, EuroBrun or Life. But none of these teams, however cordi bad it is your history, you can hit the points the history of Andrea Moda, a project led by an Italian eccentric, Andrea Sassetti, who wanted to enjoy the Formula 1 as a showcase to show the rest of the world .
And indeed showed: their lack of professionalism as well as the meager performance of their cars, which the pilots tried to work miracles behind the wheel, as did Roberto Moreno cordi in Monaco caught the eye in the "paddock". And things have been so for more than half the time, until the GP of Belgium, when Sassetti was arrested for tax evasion, and the FIA excluded once the team in Formula, 1, because according to them, had stained the reputation of the . As of today, the F1 Portal tale in two parts the story of the worst team in the history of the maximum motoring category.
