Formula 1 Trivia

A7XFan22 · September 29th, 2009, 4:00 AM

Simple really. Ask a question, first person to get the answer correct gets the point(s). The person who gets it right then must ask a new question.

2 rules (as of now): No looking up answers ANYWHERE! No Google/wiki, no re-watching races, no reading books, etc.

If the question is open for 24 hours and no one gets the answer right OR if the question-asker cannot confirm an answer, anyone is free to ask a new question.

LEADERBOARD:
MadCow809: 4
vikiradTG2007: 3
MP4/14: 1
devil500: 1
ALXBWSCREW: 1

Here's one to start you guys off.

Who was the first driver to win a race in Formula 1, what constructor did he drive for, and at what track was the race held?

All 3 must be answered in one post to get the point.

I assume you mean Modern day F1 and Official championship races in which case it is very easy to say it was at Silverstone where the Alfa 158 driven by Farina (sp?) won.

Can I suggest asking harder questions instead of asking easy ones and not being able to check sources? There are many questions that are hard to find sources.

Q: How many WDC races have been held in South Africa and name them.

You can search through sources to find the question, it's just the answers that cannot look the questions up.

24 races? 1963(?) - 1980, 1982-1985 and 1992-1993?

MP4/14 · September 30th, 2009, 12:32 AM

Sorry wrong question. I think I must of been blotto.

It should read:

How many tracks in South Africa have held an official round of the Formula 1 Championship and name the circuits.

Note: Does not include South Africas national F1 championship.

MadCow809 · September 30th, 2009, 12:35 AM

2, East London and Kyalami is all I can think of.

Even though they modified the Kyalami circuit on a number of occasions.

MP4/14 · September 30th, 2009, 12:45 AM

Correct.

Although there was a South African GP held at Casablanca in Morocco in 1958.

A7XFan22 · October 2nd, 2009, 1:45 AM

Since no one has asked a new question in a couple days, here's an easier one.

Who did Lewis Hamilton pass on the last corner of the last lap in Brazil in 2008 to win the WDC?

devil500 · October 2nd, 2009, 1:48 AM

Timo Glock...

MadCow809 · October 2nd, 2009, 2:17 AM

oh.. forgot it was my turn to ask the question.

I'll think of one real quick.

Another easy one :

Which driver was forced to lie to a team boss in order to secure a drive in the 90s?

vikiradTG2007 · October 2nd, 2009, 5:08 AM

Hmmmm.... that's a tricky one. Roland Ratzenberger? He claimed to be two years younger than he actually was.

Although you'll find that Schumacher also got hired through a bit of a lie, but coming from his manager.

lol, not too tricky at all, since you got this question right.

Both Schumi and his manager lied to EJ to get into F1, but it was his manager who convinced EJ (with $$$) to let Schumi race in the first place.

Next Question please! images/smilies/cool.gif

vikiradTG2007 · October 2nd, 2009, 5:18 AM

Will post today after I get back from classes (should be around 3:30 PM CET). From me here, until then, over and out. images/smilies/lol.gif

During the '91 Brazilian GP, Ayrton Senna, Riccardo Patrese and Nigel Mansell were struck by issues in the same part of the car. Name the part of the car that was affected on all three and also the two specific and successive problems encountered by Senna.

hajj · October 2nd, 2009, 7:26 PM

Gearbox failure and Senna losing 3rd and 5th gear?

vikiradTG2007 · October 2nd, 2009, 7:29 PM

Gearbox is correct. Senna's specific issues aren't.

SchumacherM · October 2nd, 2009, 8:04 PM

Senna had only 3rd if I remember right.

hajj · October 2nd, 2009, 8:24 PM

I think 6th it was in the end, you could see him idling through the slow corners. So I am guessing he lost 4th first and then either 3rd or 5th, anyway he ended up not shifting at all in the end.
