The r/formula1 Lockdown Quiz Outcomes

Hi there all people,

First off, I essentially possess to apologise for taking see you later to eventually get lend a hand to you all with the outcomes, I used to be without warning swamped with work all of the style thru the week and had no time to arrangement this put up. Everyone will receive their rankings in pm over the following couple of days.

Now, on to the actual quiz. The response used to be amazing, some distance extra answered than I firstly expected and a variety of those possess been extremely knowledgeable.

At the tip, it wasn’t the closest and we had a clear winner, but the head 3 all received at least 20 parts out of essentially the most of 25! At the same time as chances are you’ll likely simply possess completed the quiz, I compose no longer must repeat you the blueprint powerful of an fulfillment that’s.

With out any extra ado, congratulations to the winner of the quiz, u/BottasWMR with a terrific 23 parts! He managed to answer to 22 questions for plump marks and a extra 2 for half of marks, leaving simplest one fully unhealthy answer in his sheet.

Huge congratulations! At the same time as chances are you’ll likely like Quiz Grasp, 2020 Apocalypse Quiz Winner or one thing same on your flair, contact filipjj or jeppe 🙂

No longer too some distance within the lend a hand of, at 21 parts is u/LiamFN and finishing up the podium with 20 is u/Miwna. Congratulations to them as effectively!

The tip 10 I essentially feel deserve a cry out here with a plump leaderboard:

BottasWMR – 23 parts
LiamFN – 21 parts
Miwna – 20 parts
u/TomTwice & u/Badithan1 -18 parts
u/karx99 , u/Gabbynaru & u/CHR1597 – 17 parts
u/cumulonimbus09 – 16 parts
u/TheStateofIt & u/harrycss – 15,5 parts

Nonetheless now on to essentially the most anticipated phase, the questions and the solutions!

1. What is the shortest tune to possess been featured on the F1 World Championship calendar?

Appropriate a easy Monaco received you plump marks. Nonetheless particularly, Monaco from 1955 to 1972 at appropriate 3.145kms, one thing that wasn’t answered by somebody, even essentially the most meticulous lacking that the 1950 version used to be wider at St Devote and subsequently formally longer! Proving very widespread as a unhealthy answer used to be Zeltweg, a tune shorter than all present venues, but marginally longer than pre-1972 Monaco.

Uncover: For the reason that wording used to be “F1 World Championship”, to filter out Italian Championship venue Vallelunga and NC-mosey venue Roskildering, I’ve celebrated Long Seaside in 2 cases, as that is the shortest tune after the worthy name of the championship used to be changed in 1981.

2. What used to be the weird and wonderful worthy motive for Al Pease’s cross disqualification from the 1969 Canadian GP?

Too sluggish is the answer. Although the reality is closer to bad riding, that used to be the worthy call. I celebrated all the pieces that made a reference to him being sluggish.

3. Who is the unbreakable driver that led each mosey he started?

Markus Winkelrock obviously. Gruesome spellings, Winkelrock or Winkelhock all received parts if it is obviously relating to this man.

4. Which future world champion paid 35,000GBP for a force at BRM within the early days of his profession?

That is Niki Lauda obviously in 1973. No longer powerful else to vow. Graham Hill used to be a surprisingly widespread unhealthy answer.

5. Which Finnish driver coined the length of time “The Michael”?

That would be Mika Häkkinen. Many of funky spelling on this one, but quiet celebrated every version.

6. Who is that this racing myth?

The demand practically each person received ethical, it used to be a young Daniel Ricciardo from his System BMW days. Most unhealthy solutions here possess been obvious jokes. Trying at you “Younger Andy Samberg” throwing away a high 50 earn 😀

7.What used to be particular in Minardi’s 1989 Portuguese GP performance?

They led a lap used to be the answer, because it never took place to the crew again. Each version used to be celebrated if it made reference to the reality.

8. Who’re the finest 2 drivers to possess won extra than one races after starting outside the head 10?

John Watson and Fernando Alonso. Besides to his essential document-holding purchase from 22nd in 1983 Detroit, Wattie took the 1982 version of the same mosey from 17th. Alonso’s two came from the controversial 2008 Singapore GP from 15th and the 2011 European GP from 11th.

9. There may perhaps be been 6 races with extra than 20 worthy lead adjustments (i.e. lap n is led by a different driver than lap n+1). 5 of them came at the same venue. Where did the relaxation one happen?

And we possess the main errata’d demand. The answer I used to be having a uncover is AVUS, where the raging lead fight saw Brooks, Gurney, P.Hill and Gregory swap the head space 22 instances. Since I used to be dreary adding that for the quiz I’m no longer including the Indy 500s many folks answered with the 1960 Indy 500, which I’ve celebrated as effectively. Half marks went to folks simplest saying “Germany”, but no longer the tune.

10. What is absolutely the top Championship attain by a driver who went winless thru the year and who used to be the motive force(s)?

Farina in 1952 or Ronnie Peterson in 1971, 2nd space. Answering appropriate one of them used to be sufficient for the point.

11. Which F1 driver started essentially the most championship races without ever retiring ensuing from an accident or a walk in his profession?

A surprisingly keen demand simplest only a couple of may perhaps likely answer. It is racing myth Charles Pic who never retired as a final consequence of a break or walk in his 39 races.

12. That is obviously Niki Lauda, but what on Earth is he riding here?

He’s checking out the Alfa Romeo 177, the car they returned with the main time. This demand is the offer of most half of parts, as I gave half of for saying Alfa Romeo simplest.

13. Which 3 drivers wore the relaxation wreaths given out to podium finishers?

Wreaths possess been remaining given out to the podium in 1985, but the relaxation mosey in Australia (amongst others) no longer effectively-known to fabricate so, so the ethical answer is the podium of the 1985 South African GP, Mansell, Rosberg and Prost

14. What original motive barred the BRM’s sick-fated final automobile from making its debut as planned?

This one used to be rather outlandish and or no longer it is on me. I used to be taking into account of the P207 which used to be too large to slot within the container and thus may perhaps likely perhaps now not be place aside on the transport airplane. I celebrated every variation that alluded to it being too large or too sizable.

BUT some of chances are you’ll likely simply snarl it wasn’t their remaining automobile that’s both appropriate and spurious. As all of of us that did their analysis and regarded into the P230 saw it used to be first tormented by suspension components, then lawful components… which literally dominated the car did no longer belong to BRM. Anyway, I gave plump marks to each person who said rocker fingers, lawful components or even chapter, because again, here’s on my wording being worn.

15. What extraordinary, keen feat did two of Ferrari’s drivers pull off in a mosey in 1967?

They received a uninteresting heat! It took place within the non-championship Syracuse GP. That used to be the finest answer I celebrated.

16. Eric van de Poele has failed to qualify extra regularly than a driver of his abilities may perhaps likely simply quiet, but one of those stands out markedly. What is the outlandish motive within the lend a hand of THAT DNQ?

I perceive it sounds imprecise, but studying that he used to be thwarted by a one that laid down on the tune in entrance of him that can possess ended up in him being ran over at mosey, it is obviously going to be that incident. Rotund marks went to each person who received that it used to be a person on the tune, protester, tune invader, no topic. My sources in actual fact said mental affected person. I gave half of marks to of us that said he had a lap of 35 minutes in Spa, since it is moreover a spell binding answer.

17. Why did Matra Sport shatter the historical tradition of French automobile = blue within the 1968 season opener?

They may perhaps likely now not prepare in time and needed to use a take a look at mule which used to be quiet simplest covered in primer paint that used to be an gross light green. I celebrated every answer that made reference to no time, take a look at mule or the car being in vogue.

18. Who is the motive force that made up essentially the most places over the route of 1 single lap?

The driver who did this feat is Onofre Marimón. He started in 28th within the 1954 British GP and crossed the motorway sixth after simplest a lap. That is 22 places in one, single tour. Actually unachievable for most most modern drivers. I received a variety of natty guesses with the Nordscheleife, Jim Clark and Winkelhock being overall issues, but this used to be one of essentially the most keen questions, with simplest 1% of the responses being ethical. For future reference, Winkelhock crossed the motorway in 10th after lap 1, so his earn would simplest be 12.

19. The helmet is distinctive sufficient, but whose is it?

It used to be an image of Helmuth Koinigg, an up and coming driver who tragically misplaced his existence in Watkins Glen 1974.

20. When used to be the main time a (non-motor industry) sponsor logo regarded on a automobile?

I didn’t in actual fact query of to get ethical solutions on this one, but there possess been 3 (plus two). As I expected a lot of you answered Lotus in 1968 or Gunston in 1968, of which the latter used to be the main to beginning a mosey backed, but no longer the main to investigate cross-check. That would be Geki within the 1965 Italian GP. Salami Rondanini used to be the sponsor and he used to be made to lift the trademarks off after practice.

Since I forgot to vow championship mosey or the relaxation of that style, I celebrated the 1958 Scurry of Two Worlds/El Dorado Ice Cream as an ethical answer in 2 cases. No person came up with it, but I would possess given parts to 1951 Indy 500/Central Excavating for the same motive.

21. Which crew carried a message in strengthen of the UK staying within the EU on their automobile?

Even extra tough than the relaxation sooner than, simplest one and a half of parts given out and simplest one response had the ethical answer, Surtees. When the UK first tried to arrangement their lives extra tough, John Watson’s in every other case unsponsored automobile had “Preserve Britain in Europe” on the perimeters for the 1975 Spanish GP.

22. What used to be the main mosey René Arnoux ran after failing to qualify for the 1978 German GP?

Appropriate cherish what a variety of you expected, there used to be a twist. Why else would possess this been a final share demand? Pre-qualifying for the 1978 German GP used to be organised to lift space during a tire take a look at at the tip of June, practically 2 months sooner than the mosey itself and sooner than the 2 races earlier the German GP. So Arnoux having already failed to qualify for Germany made the 1978 French GP the following weekend. I gave plump marks without the year, which potentially received a couple of you lucky breaks. Since none of those solutions came from folks over 6 parts, it didn’t possess an affect on the relaxation.

23. Horace Gould as soon as ended a complete (non-championship) racing weekend with a riding error. How did he contend with that?

One among my current tales, within the 1954 Cornwall MRC mosey Gould retired, loaded up his vehicles and managed to reverse genuine into a gantry that collapsed onto the circuit. I celebrated all solutions that made a reference to crashing genuine into a gantry or bridge.

24. Famously Graham Hill is quiet the finest driver to possess won the triple crown of motorsports. Nonetheless there is moreover simplest one driver who managed the reverse and DNQ for all 3 of them. Who is that handsome bastard?

The toughest demand and the finest one remaining unanswered. It used to be Olivier Grouillard. He had a DNQ in Monaco in 1990 and 1991, a DNQ in Indy in 1993 and eventually one in Le Mans in 1997. Nonetheless here is the purchase, after failing to qualify his SARD (Toyota) he used to be recruited to be the third driver in Braveness’s Andretti automobile, so on most results pages he appears simplest as a non-finisher. I gave half of marks for Stefan Johansson. He has frail DNQs in Monaco and Le Mans, whereas in Indy he has a contentious case. He correct for the 1995 running, but simplest alongside with his third automobile after failing to get both his main automobile and his backup on high of issues. He subsequently both correct and withdrew unqualified vehicles. I compose no longer count it, but value half of some extent.

25. Don’t care about the car or the motive force this time. Give me the actual date this photo used to be taken. 365 days, month, day, HOUR.

Plenty of you notion this used to be impossible, but fairly a lot managed to resolve it. The most ethical answer is Could 24, 1979 – 8: 00 to eight: 30 and 9: 15 to 9: 45. I celebrated every answer that place aside it between 8: 00 and 9: 59.

Nonetheless appropriate how? Effectively, the characterize reveals Gianfranco Brancatelli riding a Merzario, one thing that simplest took place in 1979 Monaco after Art injuring his hand and needing a exchange. Brancatelli did no longer contend with to get out of pre-qualification, which in for the time being used to be the very first tournament of the weekend. Therefore the characterize may perhaps likely no longer possess been taken at every other occasion, simplest the pre-qualifying for the 1979 Monaco GP. The finest remaining demand used to be when did that lift space. First practice used to be from 10, so it needed to be earlier. Alternatively, chances are you’ll likely try and salvage the mosey program which had the plump ethical answer.

I essentially feel sorry for all of us that said 10 am, and missed it by this powerful, but no half of parts this time.

Staaaats!

Appropriate solutions per demand

Practical of ethical solutions per share

Random facts 🙂

The finest demand used to be #6, 384 of the 400 celebrated responses managed to get it and slight doubt most of those 16 mistakes possess been appropriate folks joking.
Out of the head 50 responses (11 parts and up), 21 parts possess been misplaced in share 1. 16 of them are ensuing from overthinking demand 1, every answering Zeltweg.
The most baffling consequence to me – on Query of 18 I received 14 ethical solutions, simplest 2 of which came from the “elite” community of 15 who scored over 14 parts.
In disagreement, 4 of the honorable 6 factual solutions for demand 11 possess been given by the head 5 total scorers.
Two folks managed to compose half of some extent on Query of 24. Their total rankings possess been on different ends of the size, 23 and 4,5.
The tip 3 all submitted their solutions on the relaxation day of the quiz. The tip two possess been submitted lower than 20 minutes aside.
u/Gabbynaru, one of many eventual sixth space finishers spent essentially the most time within the lead, with 25 hours at the head space.
The tip 3 possess been head to head, all on 17 parts entering the relaxation phase, which proved to be decisive and accounts for all of the variation between the podium finishers.
