When I submitted my post it didn't appear to come up, so tried again and thus I ended with two copies of what I said.

Danica Patrick is correct.

Post by **Nuppiz** » 08 Jun 2013, 19:05

So I was half-correct then, it was a girl. Actually I was originally going for Danica first, but thought her to be too obvious a choice :lol:

Who is this?

It's Chino Moreno's beard on someone else's face.

Actually, this gives me an idea...

Post by **Ataxia** » 09 Jun 2013, 23:46

Is it a young Murray Walker?

Post by **tommykl** » 10 Jun 2013, 05:03

Nope. It's an F1 driver, so don't look too far into it.

It screams South American driver,that smile and beard. So I'll go Uruguayan with Alberto Uria.Or am I thinking too much?

Already knew that was the answer, the question was for other members to guess. But it did surprise me when I first found out

Thinking too much

The driver in question is not South American.

The grin and that beard only suggests to me that that guy is American :mrgreen:

Bad teeth, so I'm guessing it's a Brit? :lol:

As a stab in the dark, I'll go Stewart Lewis Evans.

But it's not Stuart Lewis-Evans

The guy with the beard: presumably not either Ming the Merciless or Doctor Who's nemesis, The Master?

It's not Vettel, so my powers of deduction tell me it's...Gerry Ashmore.

Here's a puzzler for you all:

What was the first Formula One grand prix (not including the Indianapolis 500) which did not feature an Italian driver?

Post by **tommykl** » 12 Jun 2013, 15:14

I was going to say the 2012 Australian Grand Prix, but that would be too obvious...

No, that was not it.

I thought it would have been during the late 60s, when there weren't too many about, but after a bit of rummaging I think it was the 1958 German Grand Prix.

As there seems to be no current question here, I have a question:

Without reference to Wikipedia etc., what was unique about the qualifying session for the 1976 British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch?

It was the only Formula 1 World Championship qualifying session to take part at Brands Hatch during 1976? :lol:

Taking a wild guess here ... Was it the first qualifying session shown live on UK TV?

Was it that the BBC (presumably that weekend's host broadcaster) refused to broadcast the qualifying, because of Alan Jones' Surtees, Durex sponsorship? Or is that the race I am thinking off?

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 14 Jun 2013, 13:27

Nobody even close to the answer I am looking for yet. Let's just say that people will roll their eyes when they see the answer and think of who asked the question...

No internet searching here, that would be too easy...

Who is the youngest driver from the USA to start a World Championship race?

No idea. Scott Speed.

By the way, are you including the Indy 500's that were counted as rounds of the championship from 1950 to 1960?

If so, I'll guess Troy Ruttman.
