  F1 Rejects - Jean Alesi: An Appreciation
Jean's sensitive character was put to the test especially because he had an unfortunate habit of joining wrong teams at the wrong times.
Jean also left us with plenty of memories thanks to some of his antics in the rain, or in damp conditions which brought his supreme skill behind the wheel to the fore.
Having said that, it is easy to brush aside the fact that Alesi was tremendously loyal towards Ferrari in the early 1990s, and his perseverance with their terrible 1992 and 1993 cars has been too easily forgotten.

Flamboyant, extroverted and emotional, Jean Alesi promised a great deal but never really delivered at the top level, sometimes due to impetuosity, sometimes due to his emotional decision to join the Ferrari racing team rather than the dominant Williams team in the early 1990s, but often due to sickeningly bad luck.
Alesi is now a popular and successful driver in the DTM (German Touring Car Championship), where he and his Mercedes must be realistic Championship challengers in 2004.

 Alesi, Jean - Review - Lazy crazy Alesi days
Jean admitted afterwards that he had found it hard to see where he was going at the end of the race because of the tears in his visor, and one could well believe that.
Jean was the last driver to have seen F1 action at Monaco with a fully manual gearbox (the thing I'd most like to see brought back, as - for example - missed gears would give the chance of overtaking), steering with one hand and changing with the other.
Jean Alesi was (and still is, as his DTM drives this season have proved) at heart, a showman, who desperately wanted to give the crowd - his people, as he saw it - good entertainment and value for money.

 Jean Alesi – The Great Sicilian
Of course Prost’s retirement meant the ’94 car was under developed and with the loss of Senna and the tremendous shock to the team combined with a relatively inexperienced driver in Damon Hill, the team, although fighting valiantly to the final race in Adelaide, lost consistency and with it the decisive championship winning edge.
Jean ever the realist knew winning from mid field was an unlikely option and although he pulled off a miracle in qualifying second in Austria in ’98, that was more down to the weather than any quantum leap in performance.
Prost is now in receivership and Jean Alesi, at 38, and with no real options has called it a day in F1 at least.
