At the 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix, Gasly finished 20th in the first qualifying round putting him at the back of the starting grid.

10. On lap three of the race, after the Virtual Safety Car had ended, who crashed out almost immediately after the restart?

From Quiz Underneath Vegas (2023 Grand Prix)

Answer: Lando Norris

It was a disastrous weekend for the McLaren driver, Lando Norris. In the final third practice, he could only manage 11th place, and in the first qualifying section, he finished up in 16th place and was eliminated. Starting at the back of the grid is always risky, as the chance of getting hit is high. However, in Lando's case, this wasn't the problem. After the VSC had ended after a previous incident and the race continued, Lando seemed to hit a bump on the track, which put him in a spin, and he lost control, hit the concrete wall, careered down the escape road, and finished up at the barriers at Turn 12. The combination of cold tyres and the bump in the road just made the situation worse, with no chance of recovery.

From Quiz Formula One: 2020 Season

He was replaced at Williams by the British-Korean driver Jack Aitken. Russell would go on to drive full-time for Mercedes in 2022.

13. Who was the driver that Lewis Hamilton had contact with on lap 16, leaving him with a puncture?

From Quiz Underneath Vegas (2023 Grand Prix)

Answer: Oscar Piastri

Lewis was attempting to pass Oscar at Turn 14 but made contact. The collision caused both cars to get punctures. The problem for Lewis was that he didn't realise he had a puncture until he had passed the pits, so he had to drive a full lap to get back to the pits. The stewards looked at the incident and said it was a racing incident and no further action was required. After the race, Lewis thought the puncture cost him around 40 seconds.

14. Team Ferrari had a good qualifying with its drivers placing #3 and #4. However, their driver in #3 position on Lap 41 was forced to retire. Who was this driver from Monaco who experienced engine failure?

From Quiz Formula One: 2020 Season

Answer: Schumacher & Michael Schumacher

16. On what lap did Leclerc pass Verstappen for the lead of the race?

From Quiz Underneath Vegas (2023 Grand Prix)
