Anyway here's one I thought of last night. What do Teo Fabi and Marc Gene have in common? |

Both had the shortest name on the grid in every season they competed in Formula 1?

Something to do with having racing driver brothers?

Nope. Both did something without officially doing something

Yes, that’s right. Both led a race, but as they weren’t leading when they went over the line, it wasn’t officially recorded. Fabi in the 1986 Austrian Grand Prix and Gene in the 2003 Italian GP |

OK - if I wait till I get one right to ask a question, we will be here till next Christmas.
You have all seen the video loads of times. Without looking afresh at youtube, which drivers did Ayrton Senna overtake on lap 1 of the 1993 European GP at Donnington. |

Firstly, you must think back to being a child colouring in a menu at 'Little Chef,' and trying to colour in every letter which has an enclosed section. For example, you would colour in the enclosed section of an A or a B, but there is no enclosed section to a C so that would be left as it was. Now imagine on that Little Chef menu there was a list of the names of every F1 driver from history, all capitalised. You had to colour in every letter that was available in the drivers' names. So for LEWIS HAMILTON you would colour the A and the O, and for MAX VERSTAPPEN you would colour the A, R, A, P and P. For some drivers no letters in the surname could be coloured in, including VETTEL, SUTIL and LIUZZI. Also, LITTLE CHEF has no letters that can be coloured. But there are five drivers in F1 history (those who have started a Grand Prix) for whom not a single letter in their first name or surname could be coloured in (or six including GEKI). The question is, what is the longest name of an F1 driver in history for whom not a single letter in their entire name (not including middle name) can be coloured in. It is a very well-known driver. The extension is to get the other four. As a clue, one of them is from the 2010s, one is from the 1970s, and two are from the 1950s (one being an Indy 500 driver). This is apart from the aforementioned longest name, the most well-known driver on the list, which you have to get to win the question and ask the next one. |

The move on Wendlinger was around the outside on the Craner Curves, one of the finest overtakes ever in F1. Sorry it was only three minutes, I just happened to be online at the same time writing out my question and it is something I knew.

Gilles Villeneuve was the answer I was looking for, so you are correct and can ask the next one. Stevens, Heeks and McWithey are three of the other four, but I don’t believe Ken Miles ever raced in Formula 1, and he died in the 1960s anyway so couldn’t be the 1970s driver. That is someone else. |

?? I don’t think there’s ever been an F1 venue called “Donnington.”

You know he means Donington Park. So what if he spelt it with two n’s. No one’s perfect and it at least it has the same pronunciation with two n’s

Right - if we're done with the pedantry, on to the next question:
Alberto Ascari’s is the largest. Charles LeClerc's is the most recent. What do they have? |
