Whakakihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te 11 o Akuhata 2009 i whakapumautia ka hoki mai a Badoer ki te whakataetae Formula One i muri tata ki te 10 tau, hei whakakapi i a Felipe Massa i whara i te 2009 European Grand Prix i Valencia. I whara a Massa i te wā o te whakataetae tohu mō te
2009 Hungarian Grand Prix i te wa i taka mai ai tetahi waahanga o te aukati mai i muri o te motuka Brawn GP a Rubens Barrichello ka patu i te potae o Massa, ka pakaru tona kopu, ka hinga ia, ka hinga ia ki te pakitara taera. I whakaritea a Michael Schumacher ki te whakakapi i a Massa, engari na te wharanga o te kaki i whara a Schumacher i te whakamatautau superbike Tiamana i te timatanga o te tau i peia ai ia kia mutu. I kii te BBC i whakawhiwhia a Badoer ki te mahi hei "whakawhetai ki a ia mo tana pono ki te roopu". Ko te tekau tau o Badoer e tatari ana he iti ake i nga tau tekau me nga marama e toru i waenga i nga whakaaturanga a Jan Lammers i te 1982 Dutch Grand Prix me te 1992 Japanese Grand Prix.
