Question of the day

[zagatoes30]

Arrows?
Was Damon first or second?

Nope Arrows have never won an F1 race in 382 starts

 

[Wanderer]

Lotus?

 

[zagatoes30]

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.

Can't fault your logic, the missing team competed for 3 seasons only

 

[zagatoes30]

Lotus?

No but the most difficult to work out as there have been 4 different teams running Lotus cars

Team Lotus 56-94 74 from 489
Rob Walker 60-70 Lotus 3 from 51
Team Lotus 10-12 0 from 38
Lotus 12-15 2 from 77

What about Eddie Jordan's mob that was Damon too

 

[midlifecrisis]

Hold on are we missing the obvious Elephant in the room?

Maserati!

What about Eddie Jordan's mob that was Damon too

No, Jordan 4 out of 250

 

[conaero]

Auto Union

No, Maserati 9 from 56

But you're in the right era

Auto Union

Formula 1 was inaugurated in 1950, Auto Union raced in GP before the war

 

[midlifecrisis]

BRM...

 

[zagatoes30]

BRM...

No 17 from 197

But like the correct answer supported by a British industrialist in this case Alfred Owen of Rubery Owen

 

[conaero]

Formula 1 was inaugurated in 1950,
Auto Union raced in GP before the war

Well that told me didn’t it!

 

[conaero]

Bentley?.... pre war so I assume not!

 

[conaero]

Hang on, Havant the Renault factory team have a good win ratio...I appreciate I’m just chucking names now. Renault dominated in the 90’s/2000’s????

 

[zagatoes30]

No, we are looking for a British team from the early days who were supported by a multi millionaire industrialist for all of 3 years

 

[midlifecrisis]

Cooper Climax? I'm too just throwing up names...

 

[zagatoes30]

Cooper Climax? I'm too just throwing up names...

No, Cooper 16 from 129, one of the first to put the engine in the wrong place according to Enzo. The team we are looking have an association with Enzo if that helps

 

[midlifecrisis]

I think I know but I admitted defeat and looked on wikipedia...
