Name that driver

[cider_and_toast]

Well done Bro.

Over to you for the next one then.

 

[Brogan]

Woohoo!
I won something

Only a small pic' I'm afraid but who's this?

 

[teabagyokel]

Juan Manuel Fangio?

 

[Brogan]

It's not Fangio TBY.

 

[slickskid]

I was tempted to say a self portrait by nigel mansell in 2025.... but i'll have a stab at colin chapman instead

 

[Brogan]

Sorry slick, neither of those

 

[FB]

1,2 give us a clue...

 

[Brogan]

Forgot about this

He's deceased and if he flew a biplane it would be red...

I don't think Richthofen ever drove an F1 car

 

[Brogan]

You're on the right lines jez...

 

[fat jez]

Rickenbecker?

 

[Brogan]

Nope.

 

[fat jez]

dammit, that's my knowledge of famous pilots who went on to become drivers

 

[Brogan]

OK, he's not a pilot but there's a tenuous link from the previous clue.

Another clue: at the time of his death he was the last surviving starter from the inaugural Formula 1 World Championship race.

 

[slickskid]

Was he Swiss by any chance?

 

[Brogan]

Indeed he was.

 

[Cancer Cowboy]

de Graffenried?

 

[Brogan]

Well done Cowboy

Baron Emmanuel 'Toulo' de Graffenried

Partial credit for slickskid. The Swiss nationality clue was crucial.
