trivia question....

Could be Maldonado.

Ricardo Zonta?

Aerospeed · Post by **Aerospeed** » 27 Mar 2014, 12:56

Looks Spanish... it's either Marc Gene or Fernando Alonso circa 2003

You win a bar of soap in the shape of Suzuka.

Everyone else: no idea

Please vacate the premises.

It's not Takuma

Hint:
3 of the drivers above have all won races by using a Ford engine, in F1, WRC & CART / CCWS respectively.

One of the drivers was very close to score points in a Minardi-Ford.

One of the drivers has absolutely no connections to Ford whatsoever, as far as I know.

The last pic is of Fisichella.

One of them is Herbert and is Luca Badoea in there

None of them.

Is the top one then Shinji Nakano?

I'm going to guess 2 is Fernando Alonso, but I'm likely wrong.

Yes, it is Nakano from 2001.

It is not Alonso.

Then is 2 Christian Fittipaldi?

DanielPT · Post by **DanielPT** » 27 Mar 2014, 15:52

The 3rd, which I suspect it is the WRC victor, it is Carlos Sainz?

Jocke1 inspired me on this one. Who is this driver?

dinizintheoven · Post by **dinizintheoven** » 29 Mar 2014, 00:02

A strange combination of Adrian Sutil and Roy Orbison... which could never have happened in reality.

go_Rubens · Post by **go_Rubens** » 29 Mar 2014, 01:43

That picture indeed reminded me of Adrian Sutil.

That picture indeed reminded me of Adrian Sutil and Jean-Marie Balestre. I know he's not a driver but those shades and that broad face remind me of him.

Jocke1 · Post by **Jocke1** » 29 Mar 2014, 08:16

Jochen Rindt?

Wrong, but the driver is related to Jochen.

Would it be Rindt's father-in-law Curt Lincoln?

No, wait, it's his manager Bernie Ecclestone

Nope. Do you want another hint?

Hint: the driver in the picture is a has scored points, but still is a Reject.

Well, you could tell that CA was in a Spyker/Midland, a team which has been discussed a lot recently... Not to hurt your feelings, Jocke1.

Easier question:

How many of the current 22 F1 drivers have taken part in the 24 hours of Le Mans?

Exactly.

It makes me a bit sad to see how the drivers in F1 step out into other kinds of cars less and less....here's the full list of competitive non-junior formula car experience the f1 drivers have:

Kamui: One sports car season
Kimi: Two partial seasons of WRC + some other select rally races, two races in lower levels of Nascar
Romain: One partial season of sports cars
Jenson: One sports car race, 24 hours of Spa - 15 years back
Adrian: One race in Japanese Super GT
Felipe: A few races in ETCC

...that's it.

1960's are laughing at this homogenous crop of junior formula products.

Pretty sure Robert Kubica's accident in 2011 had something to do with that...

girry · Post by **girry** » 07 Apr 2014, 14:55

True about the Kubica accident, and understandable even if I didn't agree with the "race only in F1" policy - but the record speaks about the background of the drivers, too. No more former DTM or IndyCar champs, no more ex sportscar drivers; all current drivers debuted in F1 straight from the junior formula ladder.

OK. Nobody answered this question after my hint, so I'll give the correct answer.

*drum roll*

It's John Miles, Rindt's team-mate in 1969-1970.
