Hoped I'd do a little better but I open my account with a 2 1/2. Better than some I did from the great back catalogue of quizzes though Soon you could do a quiz on previous quizzes!

I have to admit to being quite surprised that

Hamilton made his début at 22, the cut off line for top 20 is 21y 1m 12d (Christian Fittipaldi), and hence lies 38th on the list behind Kubica and Raikkonen. Its funny, he arrived at a top team at the same age (roughly) as Alonso, Kubica and Vettel but since they did a year in F1 too early then he hadn't served his apprenticeship, apparently!
