Okay FB has put up his PQR thread, so I thought I'd get the first pre race quiz of the year up too.
Can you believe it's almost the start of another season of F1? No, me either, let's hope it's a good one eh? I have tried to make this quiz light hearted and not too difficult, hopefully, to blow the cobwebs away and ease us into a new season. You should score at least a couple of points I would hope. Here we go then, good luck all who take it on! Ten points are up for grabs.
1. It's only a year since the last race but can you name the three drivers who stood on the podium in Albert Park in 2018?
2. When he wins a race Daniel Ricciardo has his own unique and special celebration, what does he call it?
3. As it's 2019, name the drivers of cars 20 and 19.
4. Who is Albert Park named after?
5. When he was full of anticipation for a new season as World Champion, what team was Damon Hill driving for when he rather embarrassingly broke down on the way to the grid in Australia in 1997 and failed to start the race?
6. The most successful Australian driver of all time was Jack Brabham, he won three world championships but can you name the years?
7. Still with Jack Brabham, he had three sons, Geoff didn't follow him into F1 but the other two did, can you give me their first names?
8. Only one other Australian won the world championship, he managed this in 1980, can you name him?
9. Out of the current drivers on the grid only three have won this race, but who out of them has won it the most times?
10. Mark Webber took part in more races than any other Aussie driver, so far. Name all four teams that he drove for in his career.
