I didnt recognise Alboretto, Patresi, Capelli and Ecclestone

Jean Alesi - he was a cool driver, I still rememeber him as one of the best even though the history books and stats say otherwise

I got them all but admit Capelli had me stumped till I read the name on his overalls.

[CookinFlat6]

poor guy had to put his name on his overalls to remind the team who he was

[madbrad]

I first tried to guess the year and that would help me with names. For Boutsen, I had his name in mind but I never knew what he looked like. For Capelli, I knew it was him but couldn't remember his name. Maybe on another day I would have. For Alboretto, I again thought he should be in the picture but didn't really know his look. The rest I got.

Those were three I didn't get....names I knew but couldn't remember faces.

[RyRy]

I only got 5 of them not bad for my age?

[racechick]

No. I cheated.

RC also re-tweeted the pic but with all the names attached. I just copies and pasted.

Cheat!!! You could have left the names off and just said how many you got!

That's not bad at all!!! If I had to guess, I'd say you got...... Mansel, Schumi, senna, Bernie and Alesi??

[RyRy]

Close close, switch out Alesi for Brundle

I got Brundle, Mansell, Schumi, Senna and Bernie

[Nin-Chin]

Boutsen, Bernie and Capelli(didn't even notice the name on the overalls) were the ones I didn't get.

ah Brundle of course! Still in the media!

[What's Burning?]

Wow. And I thought you lot knew stuff about F1.

You earned your bragging rights, well done spotting them all. If you want to know the sage of the forum IMO it would have to be dd - I know that from the old trivia thread. Followed by WB and you I guess. We should fire that thread up again.

I had to read your post two or three times to make sure you hadn't called DD old.

I'm honestly not bragging - but I'm genuinely surprised that most people didn't immediately know every one of those in the picture - I mean, it wasn't even slightly difficult tbh... Identifiable as the 1992 season easily with the driver pairings in the picture.

EDIT - BTW, shouldn't this really be in the F1 history section?

[Jabberwocky]

I am sure some people on here where not born in 1992 though mate

Yes - I know that, I'm just surprised at how many didn't know. I wasn't born in 1974, but would still probably know every driver on a picture similar to this being posted. I think it's a sign of the times tbh - a lot of people now only really pay attention to the 'now'. When I started watchin F1, I was really interested in the history, where it came from, who homage should be paid to. I learned about the history of people like Ken Tyrell, Bruce McLaren, Enzo Ferrari and Colin Chapman. In the grand scheme of things, 1992 is not that long ago, and especially so given that a number of those drivers are not that far removed from the sport after moving to team or media roles.
