Question of the day

[daverichardson]

McLaren and Williams as above reasoning

 

[zagatoes30]

The 4th must be Lotus but have Mercedes not caught them up this weekend?

 

[Rwc13]

Yes that is correct Andy - Mercedes and Lotus are how tied in 4th place, the order being Ferrari, McLaren, Williams and then Lotus/Mercedes. Over to you I guess

 

[zagatoes30]

OK here's an interesting, well it surprised me, one on the same theme

Name the 3 F1 teams have the best win to race entered ratio as percentages?

 

[conaero]

Now, this is a good one!

So, the longer the team has been in F1, the less likely it is.

So we are looking for 1-2 season teams that hit the ground running.

 

[conaero]

Right, one has to be Brawn?

 

[midlifecrisis]

Deffo Brawn, Red Bull have had a fair few wins in their short tenure, then possible Mercedes as they've been successful recently and in the 1950s.

 

[zagatoes30]

Right, one has to be Brawn?

Correct, top answer - 8 wins from 17 races 47.1% success

 

[Wanderer]

Chevron? Hesketh?

So is there an guess in there?

 

[zagatoes30]

Chevron? Hesketh?

Hesketh 1 win from 52 starts so no, not sure a Chevron ever win an F1 race will have to go and research

 

[midlifecrisis]

Brawn Number 1,
Mercedes and Red Bull final answer , Chris.

 

[zagatoes30]

Brawn Number 1,
Mercedes and Red Bull final answer , Chris.

Ok, first 2 are correct but Red Bull is only 5th with 57 from 252 22.6%

1. Brawn 8 from 17 - 47.1%
2. Mercedes 79 from 176 - 44.9%
3. ???????

 

[conaero]

I think we have to look back further: Brabham?

 

[midlifecrisis]

Benneton as they had Schumacher... but then again Teo Fabi...

 

[midlifecrisis]

Ok, first 2 are correct but Red Bull is only 5th with 57 from 252 22.6%
?

That is surprising...I suppose it's falling now...

 

[conaero]

Benetton good shout

 

[daverichardson]

I think Benetton had Rubens not sure, along with Roberto Moreno

 

[zagatoes30]

Brabham & Benetton good shouts but both incorrect, neither in the 10

Brabham 35 from 394
Benetton 27 from 260

 

[daverichardson]

Arrows?
Was Damon first or second?
