I will be posting a piece of information about Formula One, 3 times a week.

Here goes the 2nd:


DID YOU KNOW IN F1:

Maria Teresa de Filipi was the 1st woman-driver in F1?

Yup, if you thought that woman never appeared in F1, then you were wrong!
Maria Teresa de Filipi was the first woman to appear in Formula One, and that happened in 1958. She drove in two races only; namely Monaco and Spa. She failed to qualify in Monaco, but finished 10th in Spa driving a Maserati.

AND (Hopefully this doesn't ruin the third piece this week) Lella Lombardi is the only female driver to score a World Championship (half) point - she finished 6th in the 1975 Spanish GP, and she only took half a point because the race was stopped on lap 29.

Imagine that... Bernie Ecclestone also didn't qualify for Monaco...

In 1997, in Hungery Arrows Yamaha used a new electronic clutch n gearbox system, Damon Hill Qulified in 3rd postion, after 77 and a half laps his newgearbox failed, he seen his 26 second lead get chopped down and Jacques Villeneuvepassed him on the last corner to win, Damon Hill held on to finish 2nd and get Arrows their highest ever GP finish,Arrows hold the record as the longest running team without a victory, 382 races!

Jacques Villeneuvehas had the steepestDecline in the history of F1, after winning the world championship in 97' he never came close to winning a race again! In fact he struggled to find even a top 10 Finish!

In 2002 Arrows had their worst and last season in F1, the team failed to qualify for most of the races (2 on purpose) to try and save money, it failed and the team when into liquidation.

Ironicly Jos Verstappen was offered a testdrive for Fearri in 2002 but turned it down due to loyality to Arrows,Jos hasn't driven an F1 car since!

lol.. Jacques Villeneuve was a useless waste of space in F1. All he ever did was complain, and he still complains about other F1 drivers now.

JV never showed championship material; IMO he won that championship in 1997 by a fluke!

But what do you think of his singing voice? Did you hear the song he released last season? :P
