[QUOTE="The Artist....., post: 353682, member: 94"] For this quiz, I'm going to go back through history, and try to ask some easy, and some difficult questions: 1. The 1991 Italian Grand Prix saw shenanigans aplenty, with Michael Schumacher being slotted into the Benetton team, with Roberto Moreno taking the vacated seats at Jordan. But, in what positions did they qualify? [SPOILER="They were closer than you would think..."]Schumacher qualified 7th, Moreno qualified 9th[/SPOILER] 2. The Italian Grand Prix has been held at Monza since the inaugural year of the World Championship. However, for one year, it was held at a different circuit. What circuit was it held at, and in what year? [SPOILER="Monza was being redeveloped..."]Imola in 1980[/SPOILER] 3. Ronnie Peterson tragically lost his life following an accident at Monza in 1978. How many times did he win the Italian Grand Prix? [SPOILER="Taken from us too soon"]3 times[/SPOILER] 4. The 1971 edition of the race was one of the closest finishes of all time, with the first four drivers separated by less than 0.2 seconds. Can you name the four drivers who finished in the first four places (quarter of a point per driver. One bonus point if you get the order correct) [SPOILER="Blink, and you'll miss it"]1st Peter Gethin 2nd Ronnie Peterson 3rd Francois Cevert 4th Mike Hailwood[/SPOILER] 5. When was the first Italian Grand Prix held at Monza, and who won it? [SPOILER="It was before 1950"]1921 - Jules Goux[/SPOILER] 6. In 2001, Ferrari ran a slightly different livery. What was it, and why? [SPOILER="The race was held on 16th September 2001"]Following the 9/11 attacks, the Ferraris were run without sponsors, and with a black nose cone[/SPOILER] 7. In 2002, Juan Pablo Montoya broke a long-standing record, with the fastest ever qualifying lap (up to that point). Who was the previous holder, and where was it set? [SPOILER="Faster than fast"]Keke Rosberg at the 1985 British Grand Prix, driving for Williams[/SPOILER] 8. In 1995, the two Ferraris were involved in a bizarre incident, causing one of the drivers to retire from the race. What was it? [SPOILER="Blame Bernie"]This briefly left the Ferraris running first and second. However, Gerhard Berger suffered a bizarre retirement when a TV camera on Jean Alesi's car flew off and destroyed Berger's suspension. [/SPOILER] 9. The 1967 race gave us one of Jim Clark's greatest drives, where he lost a lap due to a puncture, and fought back to get to the lead. However, he lost the lead on the final lap, due to a loss of fuel pressure. Who overtook him on the final lap? [SPOILER="Even more frustrating than Lando Norris' retirement"]John Surtees and Jack Brabham (1/2 for each)[/SPOILER] 10. Nice easy question; which team has won the most races at Monza [SPOILER="This is obvious"]Ferrari - 19 (18 world championship GPs)[/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
