Andrea de Cesaris was an Italian racing driver. He started 208 Formula One Grands Prix but never won, holding the record for the longest career without a race victory. A string of accidents early in his career earned him the nickname "Andrea de Crasheris". Though the nickname stuck, he became a more reliable driver in his later career. In 2005 and 2006 he competed in the Grand Prix Masters formula for retired F1 drivers. He died on 5 October 2014 after losing control of his motorcycle on Rome's Grande Raccordo Anulare motorway. [More at Wikipedia]
