10. Who has the best career Suzuka result? Kubica or Montoya. Half point for correct driver, half point for the result.

Montoya was 2nd in 2001, thus better than Kubica's best of 9th in 2006 and 2009. (OK, he was 2nd in Fuji in 2008, but that's not what the question asked, is it?)
 
3 - very good quiz, but should been 5, talked myself out of 1 & 4. did we really have 4 Korean gps i thought it was only 2:D
 
3 1/2, almost 4, but I changed my mind on the result in the last question at the last minute, duh!
