===Formula One=== [[File:Massimiliano Papis 1995 Britain.jpg|thumb|left|Papis made his [[Formula One]] debut for [[Footwork Arrows|Footwork]] at the [[1995 British Grand Prix]].]] After a spell as the [[Team Lotus|Lotus]] team's test driver in {{F1|1994}}, Papis replaced [[Gianni Morbidelli]] in the [[Footwork Arrows|Footwork]] team for seven races in the middle of the [[1995 Formula One season]], as he brought valuable sponsorship to the cash-strapped outfit. Despite being a race-winner in [[International Formula 3000|Formula 3000]], he often struggled with the unfamiliar car, and was occasionally outpaced by his much-maligned teammate, [[Taki Inoue]]. He also proved to be an unlucky driver, suffering a spectacular puncture and suspension failure on his début race at [[1995 British Grand Prix|Silverstone]] due to clipping the pit lane wall after a tire change, being left on the grid at [[1995 German Grand Prix|Hockenheim]] due to a transmission failure, and spinning on dust and oil kicked up by [[David Coulthard]] at the Ascari Chicane on the first lap of the [[1995 Italian Grand Prix|Italian GP]], causing a pile-up and a restart. However, he only missed out on a point in the restarted race when he was overtaken by [[Jean-Christophe Boullion]]'s [[Sauber]] on the last lap. When Morbidelli returned, Papis was out of a drive and headed to America for 1996.
