Then:
Drivers in Williams team in history. Like father like son: Who are the drivers?

Keke and Nico Rosberg?

Yup that's correct, an easy one. Normal 2 log 100 * 9 - 4's turn then

I was just about to post the Rosberg answer. Then realised that a new post had just been made, making me aware that there was another page of post here. Why do I keep doing that!

Alright then.

What other F1 reject was born the 1st of January?

Gimax aka Carlo Franchi
I think

Correct

Okay then, I hope this is hard to find on the internet

What unusual thing did Jack Brabham do on the practice of 1970 Monaco GP?

Well, I know what he more famously did on race day, but I got nothing for practice...

Did he qualify Stommelen's car as well?

Did he spend some of the time recording the lap times of some of his competitors in place of one of the wifes and girlfriends?

He Didnt do anything the first time he drove that weekend was qualifying

Didn't he try out a particular kind of wing? (Pretty unusual in Monaco at the time)

All wrong for now

From what I have seen, the practise sessions for the Monaco GP were held during a heavy rain storm - I also remember seeing a photograph of Brabham driving around with an umbrella attached to the cockpit of his car. I therefore am guessing that Brabham wanted to avoid the cockpit of his car filling up with water and therefore jury rigged an umbrella over the opening to stop that from happening.

Wow you got it! The source of this is from F1 Racing May 2012 (can't post that one). Congratz to mario.

It's an image that sticks in the mind once you've seen it - I can't imagine that it was easy to drive around like that!

This might, hopefully, last for a while - as is known, Colin Chapman was a keen amateur racing driver and would occasionally take part in races later in his career. In one charity event at Brands Hatch, what joke did Mario Andretti decide to play on Chapman whilst he was driving round the track?

Drive significantly off the pace, so that Chapman would think that he was more competitive than he really was? (So far off that Chapman would be regularly passing Andretti on track).

GIve him the wrong pitboard info telling him he was first...when he wasnt?

Deactivate the engines on all the cars Chapman was running.

Throw a banana so Chapman would "spin and win"

70 minutes to go.

Put diesel in his car?

I'm afraid that none of the answers which have been given are correct - as 48 hours have passed, I shall give the answer to the question.

The answer which was closest to the correct answer was yannicksamlad's:

It was sort of on the right lines as it involved the pit board - unimpressed by his lap times, Andretti took down the pit board with Chapman's lap times and replaced it with a calendar, which he then waived at Chapman every time he came past the pits.

Brilliant

Anyway, next question, and it's a picture round! So, who's this bloke?



I would ask the circuit as well, but I think it's a little too obvious

The number looks a bit like an 8 or a 9, which wouldn't match his entry number, but is it one Bernard Ecclestone esq?

Looking at the link of the picture, I'll say Bob Bondurant. The circuit is Macau Nonono it's France!! Oh how can I forget the name, it's not at France, just very close

Looks like its the mid sixties random guess Jo Siffert

None right so far, though it is indeed from the mid sixties, and it is indeed a circuit in the vicinity of France that sounds a little bit like Macau

Ah my memories are corkscrewed, I recall that Bob Bondurant is droving a Ferrari, in so means this is the other Bob called Ricky Bobby (lolno) I mean Bob Anderson

Innes Ireland ....but that's not really mid-60s...but its my best guess

I can't seem to be able to see the photo. Even copy-and-pasting the image into my browser address bar doesn't seem to work.

And it was former motorcycle racer Bob Anderson! This specific photo was taken at the 1965 Monaco Grand Prix, where Bob campaigned a Brabham BT11-Climax. He finished 9th.

Based on article on F1 Racing, what moment that Michael Schumacher said about the most satisfying/best moment during the time he raced with Ayrton Senna?

i will guess Jim Clark?

I'll take a wild stab and guess it was winning in Brazil 1994?

Their battle in the early stages of Brazil 1992?

Taking him out of the 1992 French GP

One of you nearly got it, but be more specific

AxelP800 wrote:One of you nearly got it, but be more specific

In case it was me, I'll say it's either when he came out of the pits ahead of Senna or when he saw that Senna had spun out trying to catch him.

tommykl wrote:or when he saw that Senna had spun out trying to catch him.

Yup this one.

I guess it safe to say tommykl is 2015-2016 GPRejects Off Season Rolling Quiz's champion
