Quick F1 Quiz III

Post by tubeguru »

OK, another issue of a well-known F1 magazine in the post, and another tricky F1 quiz for you to enter. Have a go at these, if you will:

1. In what year did Sauber make its F1 debut?
2. Two Belgian drivers have won an F1 Grand Prix. Name them.
3. How many victories did John Surtees score in his 1964 title-winning season?
4. At which F1 CIRCUIT dide Fernando Alonso score his maiden F1 victory?
5. Who scored more F1 podiums - Jean Alesi or Gerhard Berger?
6. David Coulthard score 12 pole positions over the course of his F1 career - but how many of them were for Williams?
7. In what year did Suzuka host its first World Championship GP?
8. Nokia were the title sponsors of which team in 1995?
9. Alain Prost scored his final race victory at which race?
10. How many different teams did Nelson Piquet score podiums for?

As usual, please don't cheat by looking them up. If you don't know, have a guess! PM me the answers please, and the quiz will run for as long as I deem necessary.

Oh, and before I looked at the answers (which are hidden in small-print on the side of the page), I submitted a set of my own. Let's see how I do, shall we?

Still no entries from any of the previous quiz-takers. What's the matter - too hard for you?

So am I to take it that this quiz is dead and done with, or would anyone like to make a last-minute submission?

OK, enough is enough. We have four entries for this, including mine which was made before I looked at the small-print answers down the side of the page.

A reminder of the questions, with the correct answers (note that question two is worth two points - one for each driver):

1. In what year did Sauber make its F1 debut? 1993
2. Two Belgian drivers have won an F1 Grand Prix. Name them. Jacky Ickx and Thierry Boutsen
3. How many victories did John Surtees score in his 1964 title-winning season? Two
4. At which F1 CIRCUIT did Fernando Alonso score his maiden F1 victory? Hungaroring
5. Who scored more F1 podiums - Jean Alesi or Gerhard Berger? Berger (48, against Alesi's 32)
6. David Coulthard score 12 pole positions over the course of his F1 career - but how many of them were for Williams? Five
7. In what year did Suzuka host its first World Championship GP? 1987
8. Nokia were the title sponsors of which team in 1995? Tyrrell (who became BAR, who became Honda, who became Brawn, who became Mercedes)
