[Mephistopheles]

I'm going to have to phone a friend.

In other words ask another member of the forum.

Could you message FB and ask him please, also ask how sure he is if he thinks he knows.

I'm assuming this is how my last lifeline works....

 

[FB]

I'm afraid I'm of no help at all Mephisto - the only one I can be sure of is Pironi who won the San Marino GP in '82 on the last lap but led more laps at the other race he won that year (Holland?). The others pre-date any serious knowledge I can impart, sorry.

 

[Jos the Boss]

I would of went for the King Keke or Galahad! And this thread is actually entertaining!

 

[Mephistopheles]

I know of the Pironi incident where the team told the drivers (Gelles Villeneuve and Didier Peroni) to save fuel Gilles believing that this to mean hold station but Peroni past Gilles on the last lap to take the win, after the race Gilles said he would never speak to Didier again which of course he didn't as he Gilles was killed two weeks later.

Overtaking on the last lap to win is such a rare thing to happen obviously the last time it happened was last season Jenson on Vettel at Canada.

I'm eliminating Didier as a candidate..

Thank you FB

 

[Mephistopheles]

Okay the other 3...

Bruce won races but not that many and certainly not many per year so he's out.

Rindt won a world championship but also didn't win that many races also he was the answer to a previous question so not him..

Fangio won loads of races and most of them by a massive margin and a lot of them by more than a lap but the laps were a lot longer back then so there would be more opportunity to make a pass on the last lap...

Which means I'm going to take a gamble and say.....

A: Juan Manuel Fangio

Final answer..

 

[Brogan]

Ooooh, the tension

Agree with Jos, this is a great spectator thread.

 

[tooncheese]

I think you may have eliminated Rindt a bit too easily, its a shame I missed the start of this thread (probably be out though)

 

[Mephistopheles]

I think you may have eliminated Rindt a bit too easily, its a shame I missed the start of this thread (probably be out though)

I hope you are wrong

 

[teabagyokel]

It was Rindt. In the 1970 Monaco GP when Brabham crashed and in the 1970 British GP when Brabham ran out of fuel. Fangio did it twice in different years, McLaren and Pironi once each.

So thats then end of the road meph, and £32000 for you! Congratulations because you were the best of the bunch!

 

[Jos the Boss]

Ok now start again!

 

[teabagyokel]

Ok now start again!

If you want to start Jos, I'm more than willing to let you...

 

[Jos the Boss]

If you want to start Jos, I'm more than willing to let you...

One has no questions! How about Meph? he basically won!

 

[teabagyokel]
