1. Difficult to Pronounce, David?

   Nick Heidfeld
2. Final French Flourish

   Olivier Panis
3. Was it a boy or a girl?

   Paul Tracy
4. No help for this one!

   Brazil (Interlagos)
5. Sparsely attended race

   1982 San Marino GP, he was not classified, thus missing out on a debut point
6. No clues!

   Took pole position. Toleman later became the title-winning Benetton outfit. Trace the lineage of the current Renault team back, and it begins at Toleman!
7. No Clues

   Pole Position. JPJPJ would retire from a very healthy lead, and would unfortunately never win a GP
8. Wet and Wild

   2006 Chinese GP, which the 7 time WDC won brilliantly
9. No clues!

   Jacques Villeneuve finished 3rd at the 2001 Spanish GP
10. I'm not surprised if you've forgotten him

    Jean-Christophe Boullion
11. Last man to finish a JPS Lotus

    Johnny Dumfries
12. By the sea

    Monaco
13. Camel and Marlboro not allowed to mix

    4, Jonathan Palmer (Former BBC commentator), Michele Alboreto (Sacked because of his personal Marlboro sponsorship), Jean Alesi and Johnny Herbert
14. Pioneers of the future

    Derek Warwick, Patrick Tambay and Francois Hesnault (With a small on board camera) all raced for Renault in the 1985 German GP
15. The farcical entry list

    Mika Hakkinen and Michael Andretti. The list had to be redrafted after Williams forgot to submit their entry
16. Often seen in a cloud of smoke

    Jean-Pierre Jabouille. In one head-to-head test, Brundle was pitted against Alliot at Paul Ricard, with a straw bale chicane in the middle of the Mistral straight. Alliot was initially slower than Brundle, but suddenly produced faster lap times. Jabouille was very pleased until he was told that the chicane had been removed for the quicker laps by Alliot.
17. No clues!

    2, Nelson Piquet (Brabham) and Keke Rosberg (Fittipaldi)
18. An amazing total!

    None. Jacky Ickx, the 1967 European F2 champion was closest as he was runner-up in 1969 and 1970
19. And they only gave Anthony Davidson a couple of outings...

    Alex Yoong for Minardi at the 2002 German GP
