Dammit, just as I was going to sleep.

Which driver's racing career started before World War I - with his wife as riding mechanic - and finished after World War II?

OK, let's have a nice straightforward (famous last words ...) question.

Which driver had the longest career in Grand Prix Racing?

Do you mean in time or number of races?

Ricardo Patrese started 256 GP's which I think is the most.

I meant in time. Let's define it as 'Longest time between first Grande Epreuve start and last'

Are we looking at someone from a very very very small country? The only other candidate I can think of OTTOMH had an interesting take on helmet regulations. But it depends on certain things...

OK, Louis Chiron.

Which driver, when told he had to wear a helmet, just wore his previous headgear on top of it?
