Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What driver replaced J.P. Jabouille in the Ligier team in 1981?

Answer: Patrick Tambay

He replaced Jabouille after only a handful of races. Jabouille wasn't mentally recovered after a serious accident sustained at the Canadian G.P in 1980. Tambay replaced him and Jabouille decided to retire from racing.
2. In the 1984 edition of the Monaco G.P., what driver finished the race in the third position?

Answer: Stefan Bellof

Everybody remembers the incredible climb through the field of Senna up to second place, but not many people noticed that Bellof was actually lapping faster that both Prost and Senna. If the race hadn't been stopped by mid-race, Senna would had haved some defensive driving to do to hold back Bellof!
3. Name the driver who replaced Nigel Mansell for the 1988 Belgian G.P. at Spa.

Answer: Martin Brundle

Mansell was struck by a case of the chicken pox, and was clearly unfit to drive in that race.
4. In 1985, Stefan Johansson replaced Rene Arnoux at Ferrari. After which race did this happen?

Answer: Brazilian G.P.

After the Brazilian race, Arnoux was sacked by Ferrari. He never talked about it, avoiding the whole issue.
5. When Elio De Angelis crashed during a test session at Paul Ricard, what driver attended to the scene of the crash?

Answer: Nigel Mansell

He was amongst the first people arriving on the scene. Ironically, the Williams team were also testing that day. This event was crushing news for Mansell, as they were both good friends after racing together at Lotus for 4 years.
6. Name the track and year on which Keke Rosberg set a speed average record of 160mph.

Answer: Silverstone 1985

He achieved this incredible feat during qualifying for the British G.P.in 1985, when the turbo engines were very powerful, and the Silverstone circuit was a very fast, flowing track.
7. What driver did Nigel Mansell overtake, two laps from the end, for second place at the 1990 Mexican Grand-Prix?

Answer: Gerhard Berger

That overtaking maneuver was one of the most breathtaking ever seen. Mansell did this in the dangerous, flat in fifth gear Peraltada right hand corner. And above all, he achieved this on the outside of the corner, on the marbles! It was an incredible move.
8. In the 1980 Austrian G.P., what bad luck did Mansell experience during the race?

Answer: Fuel leak in the cockpit

For his first race, he basically took a fuel bath. A gasoline leak started and found its way into the driver's seat. But Mansell soldiered on and was more than happy when his engine expired midway throughout the race!
9. What driver replaced Alain Prost at Ferrari after the 1991 Japanese G.P.?

Answer: Gianni Morbidelli

Prost, never a man to keep his own feelings to himself, went open and criticized the Ferrari team to the media. Ferrari was tired of his complaints and political stir ups, and went all the way by firing him without explanations. Prost was very good in manipulating important people in order to get whatever advantage possible in a team. Ask Nigel Mansell!
10. What driver replaced Michael Schumacher at Jordan for the 1991 Italian G.P.?

Answer: Roberto Moreno

Moreno was unemotionally put aside by two of the most ruthless people in Formula 1 back then, Flavio Briatore and Tom Walkinshaw at Benetton. They quickly signed up Schumacher for four years and the poor Moreno became expendable.
