3.5 points. With Q4 - Monaco was kicked off the calendar for a few years after the wave took out half the field

Tough one, also 3.5 points (I gave myself 0.5 for Q5) with a lucky guess for Q9, and with this:

Q10

Answer to query

It doesn't ask who the last to qualify on the back row; it asks who was the last to start on the back row. And Lewis Hamilton was pushed down to last for a gearbox change!

 

[McZiderRed]

3 points.

Normally I'd be jumping up & down at the prospect of a MASSIVE 3 points, yet I feel strangely deflated at not have a .5 in my score...

Oh yes, I see. Sorry for the misunderstanding, and it seems I didn't remember this detail.
So, then I got 2,5 points.

4 1/2 for me with some educated guesses.

 

[siffert_fan]

4 for me.

Spoiler

The fascinating thing is that Clark went on to become 1965 WDC without having competed at Monaco. Such was the measure of his dominance and greatness.

As did Ascari in 1952!
