Trivia time!

I know the answer... Do you? Which team in F1 history has the most disqualifications???

By the way, it's not Minardi. In their history of 15/16 years, they've only had ONE disqualification. Can you tell me who and where though???

marcus · 24 Jun 2000, 14:47 (Ref:19181)

The Minardi dsq came in RND 1 1987 at Rio de Janeiro when Spanish driver adrian Campos qualified 16th onthe grid but was dsq'ed for an incorrect strating procedure..not sure what that was ..maybe he was over the grid lines or maybe even had it in reverse or something !!

not sure which team has had the most disqualifications but I would guess at McLaren or Benetton perhaps....but I do know that stefan bellof has the most disquals with 11 back in 1984...actually now i think of it the answer probably would be Tyrrell..because martin Brundle was disqualified 7 times that same year for a total of 18 for the team..carnt remember what rules the team broke but it must have been a goodie to get all their points taken off them.

Minardi fan · 24 Jun 2000, 17:42 (Ref:19205)

You got there in the end! Tyrrell is the correct answer with 26. And yes, it was Campos.

Now, can you tell me who was LAST disqualified for Tyrrell???

Minardi fan · 24 Jun 2000, 17:42 (Ref:19206)

And at which race were BOTH Tyrrell's dq'd???

steve nielsen · 24 Jun 2000, 18:39 (Ref:19213)

it was somewhere in the 70's i think, their car was to light and they compensated that by putting extra weight(lead) in the car at the final stop, but they where found out and they lost their points for the whole season.

Schume · 24 Jun 2000, 20:00 (Ref:19217)

Both Tyrells were dq'd at the 1996 European GP.
Salo for being underweight and Katayama for a push start.

Minardi fan · 24 Jun 2000, 23:33 (Ref:19264)

It was Katayama last, disqualified at Europe 1996, a number of laps after his teammate Salo was.

They were totally dq'd from the 1984 season for the underweight thingy.

Now another question folks: Which team, who has actually SCORED, has scored the least amount???

Sharky · 26 Jun 2000, 04:00 (Ref:19527)

Well....since nobody replied I'm just going to say the first thing that comes into my mind and that it surely isn't the answer. Larrousse-Ford. 2 points in the 94 season....That surely isn't the answer.

Schume · 26 Jun 2000, 08:51 (Ref:19544)

Tecno scored 1 point in their lifetime.
That was in the Belgium GP of 1973, driver was Chris Amon.

Minardi fan · 26 Jun 2000, 12:13 (Ref:19576)

Correct!

Ok, another.

Out of all the drivers who have driven for Minardi, who has driven the least amount of races?

Schume · 26 Jun 2000, 12:39 (Ref:19586)

Ok...so I'm bored at the office today.

Moreno, Zanardi and Sarrazin had 1 race each.....

Sharky · 26 Jun 2000, 15:24 (Ref:19613)

Right....Now I remember....Sarrazin raced in last years Brazilian GP. He went out in a rather spectacular crash.

marcus · 26 Jun 2000, 16:24 (Ref:19628)

I believe schume has it right.

but here is one for you Minardi fan..i dont know the answer to this but your little history lesson has got me thinking.

when was the last time Minardi ever won a race ?
ok we all know not in F1 but they were very competitive in F2 if I remember correctly...so when was their last win ???

Minardi fan · 26 Jun 2000, 23:47 (Ref:19700)

I have NO idea...

Red · 27 Jun 2000, 11:48 (Ref:19800)

Michele Alboreto - European race at Misano in 1981, is the first (F2). I believe (I'm not sure) that it's the only win.
