I have an interesting question.

Can anyone name the only two drivers to have crashed into the monaco harbour, as well as another eerie fact that both drivers share.

OH I REMEMBER THIS:
Alberto Ascari and Paul Hawkins. Both died on May 26th.

Would be correct

Rather scary fact that the only two drivers to ever drive into the monaco harbour, both survived and were remarkably unhurt, and both went on to die on the same date.


Nother question. One driver has a rather unique set of race records to his name. In his 7 years in Formula 1, he only scored points 3 times. Remarkably they were two 1st places, and one 4th place. Any ideas

Jean-Pierre Jabouille

Who is the only driver to have a 50% win record, after competing in only two F1 races, one of which - his home race - he won, before retiring?

You've got the driver right. But oddly not the stats. Jean-Pierre contested in more than two F1 races. In fact, he appeared in 7 F1 seasons overall. The reason for his odd results was of course the unreliable Renault turbo's.

He won the first race for a turbo engine at one of my favorite races, Dijon 1979. Where we saw Rene Arnoux and Gilles Villeneuve go wheel to wheel during the last laps.

Anyone else any questions, tis a good topic so far.

Okay, an easy one to start with...

Name 3 Ferrari drivers whom have all "parked" at the Rascasse corner.

Schumacher and Kimi are the obvious ones. Since Schumacher's one was so infamous, and hilariously Kimi repeated it the following year (cept that one was actually an accident)

Ivan Cappeli crashed at the Rascasse, so not sure if that counts considering he was upside down.

Massa also parked at the Rascasse alongside Kimi, but it was only momentarily during practice.

Next quiz: What team deemed an engine a pig yet was praised by their WDC driver??

Correct on all three! (Schumi, Kimi and Capelli) But I guess you could also include Massa although he was parked momentarily like you said.

We did discuss Ferrari and Rascasse a long time ago and all the occasions were mentioned there so it is documented somewhere in this forum.

As for the pig, before "cheating" I cold hazard a wild guess. When McLaren had the Peugeot engine for 94 it was a total dog, yet Peugeot was killing everyone in WRC.

Erm... the second part of my post was another question (as indicated by the question mark at the end ).

My bad, I thought you wrote, something like Jean-Pierre, who had a 50% win record. Silly me

Anyways Lee Wallard.
Although it was the Indy 500 he actually won back when the Indy 500 was considered a championship race. Despite being a race which only a handful of F1 drivers ever drove in.

Your getting warmer.

A slightly trickier one...

What was the first Formula One car that Damon Hill drove?

It was a Brabham, wasn't it? Or he may have tested a Williams before that. I'm too young for that, though. >.>
