Points Scorer
Wake up F1 fanatics, its time to celebrate the new season with my third ever quiz on this site. I tried to collect my hardest questions, I hope you will like it.
1. Which three drivers stood in most occasion together on the podium? (in any order)
2. How many races were won by McLaren until the end of 2010?
3. There are two seasons when we saw only two newcomers in the field in the whole year (competing at least one race). Name these years, half point for each.
4. Michael and Ralf Schumacher stood 16 times together on the podium. Out of these, Ralf finished only 3 times ahead of his brother. Name the 3 races, 1/3 point for each.
5. Which manufacturer produced the tyre for Giuseppe Farina's Alfa Romeo, when he won the first ever Formula1 race in Silverstone?
6. Name the two drivers who won a race 2 laps ahead the 2nd placed driver. Half point for each.
7/8. How many races were in the last decade when the race leader was changed in the last lap? Extra 1 point if you can name the races, so 2 points for this question. (just to prevent misunderstanding: dont count Spa 2008)
9. There's only one year when four different tyre manufacturers won at least one race. Name either the year OR at least 3 tyre suppliers in order to get a point.
10. There are only 4 tracks where at least 25 races were held in a row. (every year, without break). Name them for 1/4 point each.

Michael Schumacher, Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard. It happened 12 times between 1997 and 2001.
2. How many races were won by McLaren until the end of 2010?
172. McLaren Team has won 169 until now, plus Bruce McLaren won 4 races, but one of these four was in his own car. So 169 + 4 - 1 = 172 races were won by any kind of McLaren in F1.
