Brundle has also competed in both & Derek Bell, & did Marc Surer or was it just the Paris Dakar?

Edit: Surer did compete in other rallies.

Depends on how you see it... people who actually drove a car under the WRC regulations, or someone who competed in World Rally Championship after 1973,- when it was started. I think the latter.

How about Minardi legend and certified F1 reject - Stéphane Sarrazin? Also, I thought somone might have mentioned Robert Kubica.

Here's a somewhat interesting question:

In 2005, how many points did Kimi Raikkonen take away from Alonso between Spain and Hungary?

Another question: how did Felipe Massa try to distract his friend Rubens Barrichello during a game of poker last year and did it work?

My guess would be Massa saying that Button was faster than Barrichello, but Barrichello didn't even noticed it since he was busy being bullied by Schumacher :P!

Seriously though, I don't have a clue...

He placed his smashed helmet from his Hungarian head injury incident into Barrichello's sightline. It worked, considering it was a part from Barri's car that caused it and he is a sentimental fellow.

And we have a winner. Just goes to show just how much of a hand grenade the MP4-20 was.

Here's another fairly easy question:

David Coulthard and Kimi Raikkonen are tied for 6th place for what record?

Since this was answered correctly I will allow myself to ask another question: the Schumachers have done many things in F1 as brothers. But they have not done one thing that brothers have done previously in F1. And that would be...?

I think it must be Teo Fabi, although he briefly took the lead from team-mate Berger somewhere or other but retired within yards, so never actually completed a lap in the lead.

Edit: Austria? Must be '86 if so....
