High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Andrea de Cesaris (born May 31, 1959) is an Italian former race car driver. He holds two distinctions in Formula One: the longest career without a race victory (208 grand prix starts), and also his unofficial title of 'Andrea de Crasheris', owing to a string of accidents early in his career. Though this reputation remained, he matured into a fast and reliable driver, though rarely had the machinery to match his speed. In 2005 and 2006 he competed in the Grand Prix Masters formula for retired F1 drivers.
