Name that driver

[FB]

I thought I'd revisit an old Fun & Games competition for Christmas. So who's this bearded wonder?

As ever, the winner gets to post the next picture.

I do believe that is the legend that is John "Wattie" Watson. King of the burn from the stern. I do believe that he made a deal that when he took his first win he would shave that beard off.

That is indeed Wattie, one of the few beardies to win a Grand Prix.

 

[Brogan]

Jenson Button's won a few.
Oh wait....

 

[cider_and_toast]

Okey Dokey,

Next up then chaps, Who is this F1 Driver?

 

[Andrea_Moda_Rules]

sort of looks like Tiff needell. hard to bleive Mr 5th Gear, named because it was not as good or ever has been as good as Top Gear. was once an F1 driver.

 

[cider_and_toast]

And yep, AMR has it. It sort of is MR Tiff Needell, He of 5th Gear and Stand in stig for the Top Gear Christmas episodes. His GP career consists of 2 starts for the Walsall based Ensign team in the early 80's.

Your turn for a pic then A_M_R.

Wondered for years what Tiff's real name was. When I found out it was Timothy I understood why he wanted to be called Tiff

So Who is this ex Formula 1 driver.

 

[tooncheese]

Sutees?

 

[Andrea_Moda_Rules]

tooncheese ................ <dramatic pause>............ that is the wrong awnser

This is quite difficult so ill give a clue,
He has a Fat head doesn't he.

 

[teabagyokel]

Jose-Frolian Gonzales?

 

[Andrea_Moda_Rules]

Dang thought that clue might give it away but Tegbag youv'e done it and won the jackpot, an all exclusive chance to post the picutre.

It was the 88 year old José Froilán González, the man who drove from 1950 till 1957, Nicknamed 'Fat Head' beacuse of its very round shape, also called the The Pampas Bull and is most famous for scoring Ferraris first win, I suppose we all have him to blame then.

 

[teabagyokel]

Anyone know this guy...

 

[FB]

Kazuki Nakajima?

 

[KekeTheKing]

I believe that is the legendary Yuji Ide, who took an epic 13th place at Australia 2006, a full lap behind his teammate Takuma Sato.

 

[teabagyokel]

That is the legendary Yuji Ide, the driver to have his superlicence revoked 4 races into his F1 career in 2006.

 

[KekeTheKing]

Anybody know this illustrious character?

 

[KekeTheKing]

No guesses about the identity of our latest contestant?

Here's a hint, his seat was taken over at the end of his only season by a driver with a very famous motor racing name.

 

[tooncheese]

Jo Schlesser is a wild guess
