I scored 22/50, which, apparently, is "not bad, but you could do better." Not given a breakdown between F1 and non-F1 questions this year, unfortunately .
I note that it seems to be using a similar system to that which the BBC were using on their F1 quiz - guess that somebody has decided that it is easier to use a third party system rather than shelling out for your own system.
Anyway, only 19 out of 50 there - I'll admit that, like quite a few others, there were a lot of guesses in there. I would be interested if it is the case, as is apparently quite common in multiple choice questionnaires, if the majority of the right answers were the middle answers - it did feel like that when I tried it.

25 out of 50, mostly blind guesses but I am kicking myself for second guessing my initial feeling of the James Moffat question! I watch Supercars every round
Knows two facts about ducks and both of them are wrong
Uh oh, 14! Should start watching more next year maybe

but like with so many others, around 15 of them were more or less educated guesses. Although, like so many years before, I got all the WRC ones right which I'm very happy with
Sign me up for Club 19, I don't think I could have done much better without cheating.

Although I haven't taken it yet, because the questions were not loading up onto my Samsung phone...
EDIT: Done it now. 19/50.

But most of the questions are ridiculously hard factoids such as “how many laps did Quartararo lead this season? 71/72/73”, or worse...
I agree that those sorts of questions can be rather frustrating - I did get 20/50, but I'll admit that several answers I gave were somewhat lucky guesses because, in that sort of scenario, it's going to take a very serious study to know exactly how many laps he was leading for (even an avid MotoGP fan would probably get caught on that very easily by dint of how similar the numbers are).

I also got 20/50 aswell. As well as getting a few lucky answers, i also got a few due to poor question design.
Murray Walker: "A lot of people here are really debating whether Ricardo Rosset is Formula 1 material" Martin Brundle: "Well, it's a fairly short debate, Murray".
But yeah, that wasn't a very good quiz - could have chopped off 10 or so of the questions which were a bit silly with the answers being so similar. Half my answers were just guesses, which I somehow was very successful with!

......non-existent because there isn't one. And I can't remember there being one last year either. So that's that I guess.
