F1 is awash with acronyms so here's a few to test you and find out if you have been listening. What is the acronym in bold?
1. Cosworth DFV
2. Before the FIA there was the CSI
3. Brabham cars were designated BT xx
4. Tyrrell proudly carried the ELF name as sponsor for many years
5. The Lotus badge includes the initial ACBC
6. Ligier used to reference their cars JS
7. Aston Martin designate all their cars, including racing cars, DB
8. Official F1 Partner DHL spend millions on having their brand plastered all over cars and circuits
9. TAG are long term partners at McLaren after Ron wooed them away from Frank Williams
10. McLaren carry the SAP logo on their cars. I'm sure anyone who has worked on SAP installations will have their own humorous version but what does SAP actually stand for?
