Remember I did a quiz sort of about the football World Cup groupings a while back. Well, I thought the quiz was a good idea. So here's the CWC version. No need to know anything about Cricket though. Some teams have no F1 history, so they're dimmed!
Q1-5: Group A: Australia, Pakistan, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Canada, Kenya
1. Which World Champion won exactly half of his 14 races for one team, and 14 for another?
2. No Canadian has ever won the Australian GP, but which Australian twice won the Canadian GP?
3. Where was Gilles Villeneuve's only race for [sometime Kiwi team] McLaren?
4. Who was world Champion in the year Rhodesian John Love came second in the South African GP?
5. This pie shows the podiums scored for each nation, with the orange slice largest.
Which colour is which?
Q6-10: Group B: India, South Africa, England, West Indies, Bangladesh, Ireland*, Netherlands
