141,800+ members and yet this got stuck...for 2 months now (I'm pretty sure there is someone still interested in this, or is it? ) .
It's Bozhidar Velinov turn, isn't it? But because he didn't deliver a new question, can I have a go? If so, like my post Bozhidar, because I have a few questions made up...

[Rokas Charlapavicius]

Hampus Andersson I'll take that as a yes...

So, my question...

Through the whole history of F1 there was only one time when a car with number 13 raced in a GP. The question is:
Who was the driver to pick this number, when and in what race this happened ? Bonus points for his finishing position.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Moises Solana 1963 Mexican GP, BRM.
He finished the race 11th

I believe it started back in the 20´s when two guys who ran number 13 died within months of each other, and both ran in the same team.

 

[Rokas Charlapavicius]

Hampus Andersson
Correct, well done. And your turn

P.S.to all: If you are not bothered to make up a question then write so after putting in your answer (doesn't matter if it's right or wrong). This will prevent any "stalling (?)" in the thread.

What do you think about that Hampus?

Plus, the f1 season is over, you guy's should show more than ever interest in this thread

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Just came home, need a few minutes to come up with a good question.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

ok fairly easy one i think, what GP and what year did Schumacher wear this helmet?

bonus points if you know why he used that helmet, or what it symbolizes.

Hmmm.. At first glance I was just about to write the Belgian GP in 2011 but then I remembered that the special helmet he wore at that weekend was sort of golden. I remember he crashed out in qualifying that weekend on the run down to rivage, and he had a storming race that weekend aswell, finishing 5th possibly? Could be wrong..

But then it just hit me that he wore that silver helmet this year and I have a vague recollection that it was at Spa aswell. So I'll go for the 2012 Belgian Grand Prix

As for what he was celebrating.. well Rubens made his 257th grand prix appearance in Turkey 2008 breaking another drivers record ( Literally just finished watching some of the 2008 season review dvd I got for christmas! ). So I guess Schumacher made his F1 debut at around the same time as Barrichello? That being the case, I'll go for Schumacher celebrating his 300th grand prix? ..

Lol nice! Okay guys, I dont have the best knowledge of F1 but I've come up with a weird sort of question..

The 2010 Australian Grand Prix saw a very wet and slippery start to the race, making it very difficult for drivers at the start. But which driver made the best start, gaining 7 positions after the first corner? Please dont look up youtube or wikipedia

 

[Johnny Russian]

gonna take a complete wild guess and say Kubica.

 

[Scott Søvik]

I'm going to guess that it was Petrov, I think he had quite a good start to that GP.

 

[Johnny Russian]

just looked at wikipedia because i couldn't wait to see if i was right or not, can't seem to find the answer on there so that's a pretty good question

 

[Shane Butler]

Correct! Here it is..

 

[Scott Søvik]

Alright, next question: What driver has driven the most GPs without leading a single lap? (no checking Wiki, guess properly )

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Is he in F1 still today?

 

[Jamie Fluke]

A bit of a stab here but is it Martin Brundle? I know he never won a race and I don't think he got pole either so I'm basing it a bit on that.

 

[Johnny Russian]

de la rosa?
