Your go. I'm off to go and breathe deeply into a paper bag...

Time for something suitably cryptic.

When, where and with whom did push beat pull?

1959, Sebring, Jack Brabham in a Cooper-Climax.

Brabham pushed his car over the line to win the 1959 WDC over Tony Brooks who pulled teeth for a living.

[andrew]

Good answer but you're reading the question too literally.

[madbrad]

Do you mean what was the first race where a rear engined car won? If so, Sorry for giving it away, and I'm too lazy to look it up.

[smokin]

... where a rear engined car won? ...

If that's what you meant, my answer's the same but the reason is first rear-engined WDC. If you meant the first race that would be 1958, Argentina, Stirling Moss.

[andrew]

Thanks to Madbrad for ruining my wonderfully cryptic question!

Yes the question was concerning the position of the engine and the first victory for a rear engined car.

Smokin' has had a lucky guess and got it right with Stirling Moss and the 1958 Argentinian GP. Over to you Smokin'.

Some drivers' surnames can mean something else in a language other than English; for instance, Schumacher means "shoemaker" in German (no longer in current usage, I'll admit). Which drivers names mean the following? (All current drivers):

1. Catholic communion.
2. Of it remains
3. Subtle.

Are 1 and 3 Massa and Sutil? Not sure about 2... de la Rosa?

[madbrad]

I already said sorry so get off my back!

[smokin]

Are 1 and 3 Massa and Sutil? Not sure about 2... de la Rosa?

1 and 3 correct. 2 close.

As a bonus question, which driver (not current) has a name which means "stake" in English?

[bud]

Has to be di Resta

[smokin]

Has to be di Resta

Has to be.

Scotty or Bud, next question.

(Bonus question still up for grabs.)

Scotty got two so over to him.

As for stake, how far back we talking?
