F1 challenge?

Question

well my teacher is a huge franatic f1 fan and i wanted to challenge him.

does anyone know how?

(hoping rosbif can answer :)

Answer 1

Hide all his teaching stuff!

Answer 2

You could ask him what the perfect F1 car would look like, leaving aside technical regulations but keeping the engine and gearbox the same.

Answer: it would have six wheels (Tyrrell P34, banned in 1982), a big fan at the back (Lotus 1978, banned after one race), giant side wings (banned in 1985), a ground-hugging, ground-effect skirt round the outside (banned), slick tyres (they're now grooved) plus perhaps other things that I haven't thought of.  Such a car would be much too fast to be raced on any of today's tracks - some of these things have been banned in order to slow cars down to make them safer.

Alternatively, whose moment of pride came before a fall?  

Answer: Nigel Mansell, who lost the 1991 Canadian Grand Prix because he waved to the crowd on the last lap, accidentally stalling the engine and having to retire.

Answer 3

By asking him what present did ken tyrell give Jackie Stewart when he retired?

answer is the tyrell 003 car

Also ask him what name did Jackie Stewart run under when he first started racing?

answer is A.N.Other

What was significant about Jackie Stewarts last ever GP which was at Watkins Glen in 1973?

answer is his team mate at tyrell Francois Cevert died that weekend during friday practice and out of respect the tyrell team pulled out of the GP and with it ended Jackies carrear on 99 GP starts

How did Vivianne Sennas husband Flavio Lalli die?

answer is he was test riding one of the motor cycles Ayrton Senna when he was still alive had arranged to be imported into the Brazilian market and Flavio died whilst testing out the bike and it was only 10 months after Ayrton himself died

In the final round of the 1983 F3 championship which was about Ayrton Senna versus Martin Brundle, Senna performed a trick in the opening stages of the race which brundle had no answer too - what did Senna do in the opening stages of the Final race of the season in 1983?

answer is that he taped over his oil cover which made his engine initially run hotter and therefore was running faster and producing more performance quickly and he was able to go quickly in the opening stages but after a few laps he undid the buckles on his seat and whilst driving he peeled off the tape he put on the engine so it didnt over heat and duly went on to keep his lead and win the title

Or who led the most laps without ever winning a race.

(Chris Amon, 183 laps)

Or how many drivers have finished in the points on 100 or more occasions.

(5: Schumacher, Prost, Coulthard, Barrichello, Piquet - of course only Prost and Piquet really count, as they only had points up to 6th place during their careers...the nearest current driver is Raikkonen with 80.)

Or what was the longest gap between new entrants in the constructors' championship.

Or which nation has had a driver start the highest number of races without scoring a single point.
