Silvio Moser, Bellasi. Not sure where. The number is odd, very high. Is it in a hillclimb, by any chance?
It probably is from a hillclimb. The Bellasi was entered in a handful of races, only two of which saw the car decked in Jolly Club colours. However, in those two races, the car wore the numbers 20 and 27.

It's the St. Ursanne (Switzerland) hill climb in August 70, which he won in the Bellasi. A rare find! been looking for this one

It was a decade, more or less, before the 1994 San Marino GP? (I've already cheated and used Wikipedia. )

I don't think you cheated enough... Check the entry for that race again .
What I meant was, I cheated and didn't want to ruin the fun for those wanting to guess without cheating!

Motorcycles. French champ 59 and 60 or 61. I know he played Rugby for Vichy but don't think they were ever French champions. I think he did something else, yachts or something? Wasn't he something like a butcher at the age of 8 or something mad like that as well?

Guy did ride motorcycles and did play rugby at international level (in the French international B squad), but that's not what I'm looking for. You can't find it on the English Wikipedia, by the way

I am absolutely sure he did a sport to do with water, swimmer maybe?

Wikipedia wrote:Sportivement, Ligier devient champion de France d'aviron en 1947. [In his sporting life, Ligier became French canoeing champion in 1947.]
English Wikipedia also says that he was an orphan, but doesn't say that it was at such a young age - 7 years old.

No, I'm saying that my translation of the word 'aviron' was wrong. Clearly.

In 2005, when we had the one set of tyres per race rule, what would happen if a driver got a puncture mid race? The team could change tyres problem free? A penalty was imposed? Would they need to retire?

Refuelling was not allowed on the stop the tyre change was made. Let's say you had planned pit stop on lap 26, then get puncture on lap 25 - you had to replace the tyre on lap 25 and then pit again in the next lap for refuelling.
I remember at the time really enjoying the 2005 season becuase finally it was someone other than Schumacher/Ferrari doing most of the winning, but looking back now the one set of tyres per race rules, aggregate qualifying, the fastest driver in qualfying often starting in midfield, and drivers just trawling round at the back for ages just so they get a better qualifying slot for the next race were all just stupid really.
(Not as bad as the stupid "fuel burn" phase of Q3 in 2006 and 2007 though)

In the off-season between 2004 and 2005 what did McLaren sell to Red Bull Racing through David Coulthard?
Adrian Newey?

Nope
Hint: Think of some of the electrical systems in the car
The steering wheel, IIRC - Coulthard requested, and obtained, permission from McLaren to purchase quite a few bits of their cockpit systems, along with permission from Red Bull to redesign the ergonomics of the cockpit around what Coulthard had been used to at McLaren (so he would be able to adapt to Red Bull more quickly).

Here's one that'll have you bringing up wikipedia. Don't ask me, I don't know it either.
What's the longest full name of an F1 driver? Longest I know is Nelson Angelo Tamsma Piquet Souto Maior, our favorite Brazilian driver and current NASCAR driver.

Straight from my head: Alfonso de Portago.
Alfonso Antonio Vicente Eduardo Angel Blas Francisco de Borja Cabeza de Vaca y Leighton
Dear God, what a name. Imagine the driver's license or birth certificate. Would need it's own file cabinet
"The FIA's implementation of penalties is about as effective as that of the English football team."
Right, that is longer than the driver who I would have thought of first - His Serene Highness Prince (Mom Chao) Birabongse Bhanudej Bhanubandh, otherwise simply known as Prince Bira.
