[What's Burning?]

WE GIVE UP ALREADY!

I've got a really really cool question that's getting stale waiting for your old geezer question be be answered.

[darwin dali]

Alright then you losers
The Italian GP 1980 was the last F1 race with two 40+ drivers (Andretti and Brambilla) on the grid. Montreal this year had the same thing going with MS and with De La Rosa sitting in for Perez.

[What's Burning?]

If I want to see 40+ I just look in the mirror.

That question was as exciting as a race in Valencia. So since no one got it, you want to line up another one for us? I'd like to see this thread back on track.

Ok then:

What two new (F1) records were set in Valencia last weekend?

[What's Burning?]

I was going to say something Vettel related, but just realized, most cars finishing the race, full grid 24, and least retirements with zero cars DNFing 0. Let's hear it for reliability!

Oh and most fans put to sleep by a Grand Prix... 3,721,223. so it was actually 3 new records.

I consider that as one record: the first ever driver finishing 24th (there were previous races without DNFs).
The other record as you implied is SV related

Well then let me start throwing crap out there an see what sticks... most laps lead by a 23 year old? Um, most wins from pole, um highest percentage of race wins?

DUH.... fastest EVER lap time around the Valencia circuit! Yaba Daba Doo! Ringa dinggy ding ding ding!

Since you were dissing my age-related previous question, I'm not going there
SV has set a new record for the first ever F1 driver (of whatever age! ) to take out one of the top two podium spots for the first eight races of a season.

Over to you honey

Girl's girl's girl's I think this should be worked out over some wine and a shuffle to see what cup the key too the dungeon is hidden under, kinda like the old spin the bottle as to who get gets lotion and who gets the handcuff's.

Now I've got to go back and look through my notes... I wrote the question down about a month ago! That's how long I've been trying to cut in, so bear with me.

[What's Burning?]

Rebelling against the current Red Bull dominance, here's a question about F1 Gran Prix seasons that have seen a variety of teams win a GP in a given year, in other words a lack of dominance. There's been a bunch of years that multiple teams have won.

What's the year that's seen the largest number of different teams win a GP and how many?

[darwin dali]

Was it when the most undeserving champion got his title in 1982 with one GP win?

And how many what? Teams? 7 that year.

lol it would be funny if WB had been waiting a month to post this q,and DD got it first guess in 19 minutes

Need I remind you that the reason I waited a month was because no one was even attempting to research drivers writing their bucket list?

Yes, DD would be correct. Undeserving or not... we always do say that one can win the WDC and not win a race, this was close. It was a more exciting year than the one we're having.

A bit a tricky one:
What is the connection of the Swiss "Greenmountains" with Formula One?
