Mark F1 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Some F1 facts you may not know .....

Here's something different. Some F1 facts that you may not be aware of. Enjoy .....

* Each of Jackie Stewart's three World Championship's lasted exactly 392 days !!

* Monaco 1973 is the only race in F1 history where the Top 6 finishers were placed in exactly the same order as the eventual championship standings

* In the 1981 British GP, the Top 14 finishers were all different makes of car

* Former Brabham & Tyrrell driver Stefano Modena was ironically also born in Modena !!

* The 1959 British GP featured four drivers with the surname Taylor. Strangely, none of them were related and they were all making there debut at the race

* The first F1 race where all the starters were powered by turbo engines was also the 400th championship race

* The 1961 Dutch GP had no retirements, no pitstops and was held on a monday

* Aguri Suzuki is the only driver to ever non-prequalify for every Grand Prix in a season (For Zakspeed in 1989)

* Stirling Moss is the only driver to race two different makes of car in a Grand Prix (Britain, 1961)

* Lella Lombardi is the only women ever to score World Championship points in an F1 race (6th place, 1975 Spanish GP)

Am I an anorak or what !!
