Single question quiz - winner poses the next question

[mjo]

Nice thinking. I would never have thought of that.

 

[Vortex]

It is good thinking! But the correct driver hasn’t been said yet.

Oh come on...

On that logic is it Andretti?

 

[Vortex]

Some of the workings are getting very close, but as yet, no one has guessed the correct driver.

So here’s a clue… Mansel has done it twice, the others, including the missing driver, once.

 

[Jos the Boss]

berger?

 

[Vortex]

nope

 

[Josh]

I'm not 100% sure about this and I could be really really wrong, buuuut: World Champions who terminated (or were fired) their contract before it was supposed to end? So: Alonso?

 

[Slyboogy]

that could be right Josh but Raikkonens contract was terminated before it ended and he was a world champion I am sure there are one or two others

 

[Vortex]

No, he's wrong, its nothing to do with contracts or firings.

 

[Josh]

Aw no, I thought I was onto (on to?) something. This is hard.

 

[Vortex]

Ok, a clue that should more or less give it away, its got something to do with the 3 times world champions and the seasons they all won that 3rd championship.

 

[teabagyokel]

Three times champions. That is Brabham (1966), Stewart (1973), Lauda (1984), Piquet (1987) and Senna (1991)

The runners-up in the last 4 were Fittipaldi, Prost, Mansell and Mansell.

Therefore it was John Surtees, no?

Correct buddy, They were all runner up to the 3 times world champions when those drivers won their 3rd and final titles.

3 time WDC, Year, Runner up
Jack Brabham, 1966, John Surtees
Jackie Stewart, 1973, Emerson Fittipaldi
Niki Lauda, 1984, Alain Prost
Nelson Piquet, 1987, Nigel Mansel
Ayrton Senna, 1991, Nigel Mansel

Had to give it away no-one was bothering lol, well done, over to you.

Think we all lost motivation after 3 pages of the answer to our replies being "No"

I think we needed Rob Smedley to motivate us!

How big is the can of worms Sly may have unleashed on this thread?

Joking, here's another list of drivers:

Riccardo Zonta, Nick Heidfeld, Jacques Villeneuve, Justin Wilson, Vitantonio Liuzzi, Sebastian Vettel

Who is the missing man?

 

[Slyboogy]

Don’t bring the quiz into disrepute sly! hahahaha

Wouldn't dream of it!

Or would I? Muahahahaha
