Excellent stuff TBY, especially the Jacques Villeneuve Snr question I must have missed him. Who was he driving for?

 

[teabagyokel]

He drove for Arrows in a couple of qualifying sessions - he was 5 seconds behind his brother at the 1981 Canadian GP! He is profiled at F1 rejects, who clearly couldn't resist the temptation to put Jacques Villeneuve on the site, given the opportunity!

Another great quiz, TBY. This was a hard one, I only got one right!

 

[McZiderRed]

I concur with Boyle99, another excellent quiz! I also got a grand total of ONE right!*

I shall just have to revise more, i suppose....

Spoiler
