Technically Indy isn't a new circuit - the Indy 500s in the 1950s counted for the World Championship. I know the current layout is totally different, but so is the current Hockenheim.
I think the Alan Jones win was Spain in 1980, which ultiamtely lost its world championship status. Thankfully Jones was champion without it. Patrese did 256 races - that's one record Mcihael probably won't get. Schumacher's won the Australian Grand Prix 4 times. The first 'Grand Prix' could be defined as France 1906, some 44 yers before the first World Championship race (Silverstone 1950 as stated). |

Hate to dispell a myth but i've heared it from the horses mouth that Senna didn't hit Irvine. The story goes that Irvine retook Senna after being lapped, then later on in the McLaren garage after a few peach schnaps, Gerhard Berger the wind up merchant that he is said to Senna "Your not gonna let him get away with that are you?!" Senna promptly marched to the Jordan garage where he took a swing at Irvine who moved out of the way and fell off a table.

Right you are KB, I didn't think of that to be honest - I was going to prepare a rant at Ensign for not appreciating that Americans viewed overseas-born people who work hard to rise up from nothing to become national rheroes as their own.....

Actually, nothing to do with Andretti or Ferrari...Ferrari is based in Italy and essentially Italian but it is difficult to call them Italian when they have always had Johnny Foreigners in their team.
It's more that Alberto Ascari was NEVER Formula 1 World Champion. The last - and ONLY - Italian Formula 1 World Champion was Nino Farina. |

Which of the following is not part of the Monaco Grand Prix circuit - Stowe Corner, St Devote, Swimming Pool?
Stowe Corner-that's in Silverstone! Who punched Eddie Irvine after the Japanese Grand Prix in 1993? Ayrton Senna Though retired, who is known as the Voice of F1? Murray Walker Who has won the Australian F1 Grand Prix the most time (including Adelaide)? M Schumacher Who was the only driver to be awarded the F1 world championship posthumously? Jochen Rindt In 1996, when F1 made its debut in Melbourne, five teams took part that either no longer exist or whose name has been subsumed by another. Name them. Ligier, Arrows, Benneton, Tyrell, Forti Name either of the two drivers who made their Formula One debut at Melbourne in 1998. Esteban Tuero Who scored a point on his debut in 2001 at the Australian Grand Prix after Olivier Panis was penalised, after the race, for overtaking under yellow flags? Kimi Raikkonen The drivers' world championship has been going since 1950, but the constructors' championship was introduced later. When was it introduced? 1956 How many times has the winner of the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park gone on to win the drivers' world championship in the same season? Which seasons? 1996, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004 Name the eight drivers who have won World Drivers' Championships with Ferrari. Schumacher, Ascari, Lauda, Schekter, Surtees, P Hill, Fangio and Hawthorn Who is the only current driver to have raced at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne more than one and not finished the race? Easy-Massa has raced there twice and DNF'ed in both 2002 (accident) and 2004 (engine). At which race did Ayrton Senna score his 41st and final grand prix victory? Adelaide 1993, I was there! Who was the first American to win the drivers' world championship? Phill Hill Which former F1 driver was one of the favourites for the 2003 presidential election in Argentina? Ruetemann (?) Which grand prix did Alan Jones win without it being credited in the record books? It would have to be one in 1977 IIRC. I wasn't alive to remember, but I'd have a stab and say Austria. Name the last five grand prix circuits to make their debut on the F1 calendar. Shanghai, Bahrain, Malaysia, Melbourne, technically Indy, but if you were nit-picky, it's not right. Who was the last Italian Formula One world champion? Ascari, if you are not counting Andretti. What was the earliest date in a calendar year on which a grand prix season started? When and where were the opening race of the season? New Year's day, South Africa (Kyalami) in 1967. Which driver holds the record for the most number of grand prix starts, and how many? Patrese, 256. Who holds the record for the most starts with one Formula One team, and how many? I be inclined to think DC and McLaren. DC definitely holds the McLaren record. Who was the first Grand Prix Drivers' World Champion? Farina McLaren's Kimi Raikkonen recently married his girlfriend Jenni Dahlman. Dahlman once held a title - what was it? Really Hot Model 2003. Nah, Miss Scandinavia Of the teams that have won in Formula One, which took part in the most races before winning? How many races and where did the team win? Jordan, a lot. And they won in Spa 1998. Where was the first official Formula One race held? Silverstone, 1950. |

By 'with Ferrari' do you mean in a Ferrari car or in a car run by Ferrari?

Yep. Ascari was not a Formula 1 World Champ and the question specifically states "Formula 1", not merely "World Champ".
There is no reason at all why the World Champion Driver should be the guy who wins the F1 title, other than the FIA regulations that implement this. Given the paucity of F1 cars in 1952-3 the AIACR (or whatever it was then) decided that the World Champion Driver would be decided by performances in Formula 2 races and the Grands Prix shifted their formulae accordingly to be qualifying rounds. The AIACR could have picked sportscars or something. |
