I've actually found out this is wrong - It's 46 in the opening season, 1950.
Forty-six Drivers took part in the First World Championship. They were an ageing bunch - average age of 39 years and 6 months! But they were the survivors of a World War that had taken away seven years - 1939-1945 - from their racing careers.Some website Redders found
Dun Dun Dun, it was truly a guess I was super suprised that no one said what a silly guess. But ooo that is quite interesting many drivers, wonder how many died before the season finished?
The other is Jean Behra. He led the WDC after the 1956 Argentine Grand Prix. Jean finished second gaining 6 points while race winning Ferrari was shared between Juan Manuel Fangio and Luigi Musso, who split the 8 points for the win, 4 a piece with an extra point going to Fangio for fast lap.
Interesting. I actually didn't think about Hamilton until you did the easier question when it hit me :lol:
What is the total amount of career pole positions for every driver that ever drove for the Jordan team? (I.E. the combined total of the driver's poles, not just the poles they scored whilst at Jordan)
Since the inaugural 1950 world Championship, how many F1 world champioship races have taken place, Right up until the 2008 Bahrain GP last weekend? (note: races that have actually counted towards the championship)
If the FIAT badge was ever painted onto an early Ferrari that'd get my money. Not so much an obvious sponser seeing as they're the parent company, but they provided the money and Mr. Enzo built and raced the cars.
Sorry. It was Gold Leaf in 1968. I was originally looking for something in 1958, that is why I sain Gold Leaf was wrong. I also would have accepted Imperial Tobbaco as an answer.
According to the statistics, which team had the worst debut season in F1 history?
(N. B. A team's debut season is where they enter most or all of the races - not just part of a season. Lola in 1997 do not count as that was technically not their first season - that was way back in 1962. Finally, a team which bought out another team, such as Force India, do not count either.)
Nice try, but no. As stated in the question, a team must enter most or all of the races in the season. As FIRST failed to enter, they technically do not count.
Life is correct. I intially thought it was Pacific, but they managed to qualify a few times, whereas Life never did.
Actually, Life were truly shocking. They were usually around 15 seconds slower than anyone else, while at Imola their sole driver, Bruno Giacomelli, was clocked at a time of 7:16, 424 seconds slower than the pole time.
