F1 quiz, anybody? Since when do Qs have to be 20 letters long anyway?

May be...

  • 1) Gachot
    2) Patrese
    3) Zanardi
    4) Kimi

    Cant find nor know the rest, curious to the answer of #11
  • 1. Who was Jordan's number one driver when they entered F1 for the first time?
    2. Which driver held the record for the most GP starts for an unbroken 19.5 year period?
    3. Which former Ferrari F1 driver died in an accident at the Lausitzring in 2001?
    4. My teammates in F1 were: Manfred Winkelhock, Thierry Boutsen Teo Fabi, Michele Alboreto, Nigel Mansell, Ayrton Senna, Jean Alesi and Nicola Larini...who am I?
    5. Who was the oldest driver to win the F1 world championship since Graham Hill did it aged 39yrs 8mths in 1968?
    6. Which driver currently holds the record for having the most GP starts before finally winning? (They have therefore won at least one race...I don't want the driver who has taken part in the most races without ever winning...)
    7. He scored points on his debut, was on the podium in his 9th race, but took 91 races to finally win...who is he?
    8. He retired from F1 on the day he equalled an all-time record (after breaking both his legs in an accident)...who is he?
    9. Who had Harald Ertl as his first teammate in F1, and Michael Schumacher as his last?
    10. Michael Andretti was the last American to finish on the podium in F1...who was the previous US driver to do so?

    11. What is the connection between the 10 answers above?
    Clue: They are a list, in the correct order.
  • 1) Andre de Cesaris
    2) Riccardo Patrese
    3) Michele Alboreto
    4) Gerhard Berger
    5) Technically G Hill again, 1969 Monaco GP. Alternate answer, Jack Brabham 1970 SA GP, 43 years
    6) Ruebens Barrichello
    7) Jean Alesi
    8) Jacques Laffite
    9) Nelson Piquet
    10) Mario Andretti ?

    Edit: Ooops, missed the word “Championship”, I’d lay my bet on Nigel Mansell at 39 years for his 1992 Championship.

    For 10, Eddie Cheever?
