Team - Coloni (Enzo Coloni Racing Systems).  Number - 67 Dnq/Dnpq from 81 entries, between 1987 and 1991.

Unless you care to add it's successor team Andrea Moda which puts another 15 Dnq/Dnpq from 16 entries in 1992.

According to my sources 'The white flag indicates the presence of an official car or a competitor moving at below normal speed in the section of track covered by the flag station.'

The official car bit is what I was alluding to, badly it seems   :swoon:  -  so I'll pass the quiz back to you then Dare for the next question.

Gilles won the first Canadian GP in Montreal 1978), and was the first Canadian to win the Canadian GP when it was a championship event.   However the Canadian Grand Prix hosted Formula 1 cars in non-championship events (1961-66), and was once won by a Canadian before Gilles.

I think that might be Chris Amon, fellow Kiwi and best mukker to Bruce McLaren, Chris led 183 laps. His skill and acheivements in F1 rank equal to Stirling's as 'Always the Bridesmaid but never the Bride'.

Right you are, David! Your turn for a question.

If you are counting non championship F1 races ERA scored two successes in 1950 the first in June with Bob Gerard piloting an R14B for the win at the British Empire Trophy race, Douglas, Ilse of Man. The second came in August when Cuth Harrison won at the Sheffield Telegraph Trophy, Gamston, Nottinghamshire also in an ERA. A month later in September BRM also came home first at The Goodwood Trophy with Reg parnell at the wheel.

The same man Bob Gerard brought the ERA R14B home in first at the British Empire Trophy in 1948 & 1949, but Formula One did not officially begin until 1950.

Number 5: Coloni

Nationality: Italian

Years in F1: 1987-91

Pricipal: Enzo Coloni

GP Entries: 81

DNQ/DNPQ: 67

Best Result: 8th, Canada, 1989

This well-run team lasted four years in Formula One. A partnership with Subaru and a shoe-string budget resulted in Coloni being crowned the DNQ/DNPQ kings.

Yup well done David.  :good: It was a bit obscure I agree, I thought some of our Aussie members might put their tinnies down and set us straight.  :D

The AGP was run to F1 rules once in 52, then went to Formula Libre in 53, Formula Tasman in the 60's and Formula 5000 in the 70's. There was then one year, 1980, again as an F1 spec race, in honour of Alan Jones WDC, before becoming Formula Pacific until 1985 when the first official championship F1 race took place, as LoNeR4eVa correctly identified.

In answer to your first question Roldán is part of the family name of Juan Pablo Montoya and he lost 2nd place in the Turkish GP in 2005 because he had a coming together with a back marker in the penultimate lap and then had another off all by himself allowing Alonso to get by, Montoya kept 3rd though. Kimi in the other McLaren won the race.

According to his profile on ESPN F1 Gethin only won that one F1 race and only took the lead on the last lap.

The diminutive Peter Gethin provides a good quiz question in that while he won one grand prix in his 30-race career, he never actually led a race for an entire lap. His success in Italy in 1971 was remarkable; he stormed through from fourth going into the final lap to win by a wheel, recording the fastest average speed in F1 history (a record broken by Michael Schumacher 32 years later). It was his only podium finish.  

Maybe there are two drivers who can claim this same feat.  ;)

 

Title: Re: F1 quiz
Post by: John S on August 18, 2010, 10:30:43 PM

After thinking about this some more Dare are you referring to the crazy Monaco Gp of 1982, Patrese was the winner and only finisher on the lead lap as everyone in front of him either ran out of fuel or crashed? Patrese inherited the lead somewhere in the penultimate lap 75 and went on to complete the last lap, 76, completely unapposed for the win, 2nd and 3rd went to Pironi & De Cesaris who both stopped on track on lap 75.

I still think Peter Gethin fits the criteria of your question.  :P

Title: Re: F1 quiz
Post by: Dare on August 18, 2010, 10:47:13 PM

Title: Re: F1 quiz
Post by: Dare on August 18, 2010, 10:49:59 PM
John here's the way it was worded in the site
I found "Italian driver Giancarlo Fisichella was the only driver in the history of F1 race who won only the last lap of the race and won the entire race in 2003."


Maybe it meant the year 2003?Anyway your answer is
fine with me,your turn

The 03 Brazil race was red flagged with 15 laps remaining because of the weather, Kimi was given the win on the day and Fischi was awarded the win a week later after a court case, another crazy race like the 82 Monaco race.

Title: Re: F1 quiz

Was it 1958?
The Monaco Grand Prix and failed to qualify?
Title: Re: F1 quiz
Post by: John S on August 20, 2010, 01:11:44 PM
That's most of the answer aazz, Bernie also entered the British GP as well in 1958 but again as he was not up to speed & never took the start, Jack Fairman stepped into the car instead on race day.

It's astonishing with his driving record that Bernie usually doesn't appear in Formula One rejects lists, I guess his fat wallet scares off attention. ;)

Your go with a question aazz.
