One team has recently come in for a lot of criticism about the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix. So it is an apt time to run a quiz on them.
The teams in question take in Senna, Prost, Schumacher, Alonso and two Piquets.
Thankyou, and no mention of Flavio Briatore or other unsavoury characters!
Note: Renault were represented by two different teams in F1. There was the Équipe Renault (1977-85) and the Renault F1 Team (2002-). Although Équipe Renault have no connection with Toleman & Benetton, they too are included in this quiz.
The teams in question take in Senna, Prost, Schumacher, Alonso and two Piquets.
- What was Toleman's best result in F1?
2nd in the rain-shortened Monaco GP of 1984 for a Mr. A. Senna. - Teo Fabi scored Toleman's only pole position in 1985. At which circuit?
The Nürburgring - The Benetton team only twice scored a one-two finish. Once was with Schumacher/Herbert in 1995 in Spain. Name the two other drivers that scored a Benetton one-two.
Nelson Piquet & Roberto "I qualified an Andrea Moda" Moreno in Japan in 1990 - The Benetton team scored 27 wins. How many were by Michael Schumacher?
a) 19 (b) 20 (c) 21 (d) 22 (e) 23
19 - What is strange about Benetton's first and last wins in F1?
Both were scored by the same man - Gerhard Berger (Mexico 1986, Germany 1997). Berger didn't win for Benetton on any other occasion, and they were also his personal first and last wins in F1! - Benetton's worst season in F1 was its last in 2001. They scored 10 points. 8 were scored by Giancarlo Fisichella, 2 by Jenson Button. At which circuit did JB score his points?
Hockenheim, which has been a strong circuit for JB! - Fernando Alonso has won 17 races for Renault, how many have other drivers scored for the 2002- team?
3, Trulli (2004 Mc), Fisichella (2005 Au, 2006 My) - Did the 1977-85 Renault team get more pole positions than the 2002- team?
1978-85 has 31 poles to the 20 of 2002- - Renault, like Benetton, have only scored 2 one-twos. One was Fisichella/Alonso in Malaysia in '06. Name the other one-two pair.
Arnoux/Prost in France 1982 - How many French GPs did Renault win in 1979-83
4 (Jabouille 1979, Prost 1981, Arnoux 1982, Prost 1983). Their other French GP win was in 2005 from (shock) Alonso!
