3 also. One of those quizzes where I'm sure I ought to have scored more, but unfortunately my brain tends to default to historical data and forget to consider the last five years! Surprising how many of those records were for occasions in the latter half of the noughties.
 
A miserable 2 for me. And I guessed at the second
(Matra) as they were entered by Tyrell, while Matra entered their own 12 cylinder cars as a separate team [/spolier]
 
A miserly 3 - should have done better :( Didn't claim a point for Q2 even though the answer is above...

Edit - fixed
 
Bushi,
Their 2006 incarnation only won once, but they won twice in the 1960s.

Gethin, you are not the first, and you won't be the last!
