undoubtedly that is the biggest memory of his time in f1
To be fair there was times he punched above his weight, i think if he got into a Jordan or Ligier in mid 90s he could have built a decent career.
There was promise but very stop start.
1994, two seperate stints with Benetton, couple of podiums but erratic, to be fair that car was violently twitchy, plus the team geared purely towards Schumacher although that wasnt a bad thing from a Benetton point of view
1995, promising start with Simtek, very underfunded team that ended up withdrawing from the championship after only a few races that season, he was running 6th at one point in Argentina which was a pretty mega achievement
1996, against a promising start with an underfunded team, Brazil he gained loads of places early on and even set some fastest laps, Argentina he scored a point but then the team seemed to abandon work and concentrate on 1997 early on following a buy out from TWR
I think by 1997 and 1998 with Tyrrell and Stewart he had missed the boat, proven further by 1999 when had a real good opportunity to join Jordan when Damon Hill was supposed to leave, however it was probably quite telling a half arsed under motivated Hill was 2 seconds quicker than him at the test
Rest of his career was just meh after that apart from the odd drive here and there (Malaysia 2001 he was flying in the rain)
I think he did have promise but the constant stop start beginning to his f1 career lost momentum and then he was just lost in the shuffle
He was never going to be anywhere as good as his son anyway
