A rainmaster that only won one wet race in his f1 career

just a little bit of silly whimsy for anybody that knows there 1980s - early 90s f1 history

the person in question was an exceptional driver in the wet , that also excelled and enjoyed such conditions ,
for me his talents in the wet /changeable conditions went mainly unnoticed thruout his f1 career but make no mistake he was in my opinion outstanding in tricky conditions but ironically only won a single wet race in his long F1 career ,

he was active thruout the 80s - early 90s - who was he and which race was it --

 

I would say Panis, but he's 90s to 00s

 

riccardo patrese?

 

sorry paco and lasagna -- not who i had in mind

 

lol, I was just throwing a random name into the air, I wasn't even born back then.

 

Nigel Mansell - Spain 91?

Or do we need to go back further in the archives for the actual race win?

 

Jean Alesi?

EDIT - Ignore that, I see his win was in the dry. I'll have a think and be back soon.

 

I'd say Senna as my memories quite bad, I do remember him winning at Donington in the wet i think

 

Gerhard Berger?

 

not quite KA -- senna won nearly every wet race between 85 -93

 

i dont think berger ever won a wet race l, it was all he could do to win any race on his own merit -

 

Let me make a couple of uneducated guesses... Prost? Piquet? though I don't recall the latter ever being praised for his skills in the wet...

 

prost allways disliked the wet , and piquet was nothing special in the wet , --- sorry

 

Massive punt but... Michele Alboreto?

 

that name brings back a few memories -- sadly he died about 9 or 10 yrs ago or whatever it was ,
---- fraid to say he was nothing to write home about in the wet ---

 

Thierry Boutsen?

 

He won twice in the wet. Canada and Aus 1989.

Testing a Audi le man car wasn't it, 2001 maybe.
