Name that race: 2009 edition
2 January 2010 by Keith Collantine
The drivers line up for the last race of 2009
The fiendishly tough F1 season quiz is back.
Can you name that race? Tackle the test below…
Those of you who tried this game last year will remember the formula. Below are lap charts for all 17 of last year’s race – but with no lap numbers and with each driver’s line the same colour.
All you have to do is name which race matches up with which chart. Post your guesses in the comments. Good luck!

i don’t understand how your supposed to work it out at all..
Man that is haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard! I tried for a couple of minutes and then decided it was hurting my brain too much so I gave in. Normally I’m good at these nerdy F1 quiz’s as well…
LOL hurt my brain too
So I just stopped.
LOL
This quiz is imposible! I’m not sure that even Keith knows what the answers are…
Yeah, 2008 was much easier.
I got about 9-10 on first look then.
This year is really bad.
1 is Turkey. All the others will take far too long.
Jeeez this is hard! I thought I’d be able to identify a few of them, notably Spa but am struggling (maybe cause I’m still hungover…), not sure Spa is 8 as some think. I’ll try again later.
Also agree with joe above, this should be guesses and no research allowed!
1 TURKEY
2 BAHRAIN
3 EUROPE
4 JAPAN
5 AUSTRALIA
6 GREAT BRITAIN
7 SINGAPORE
8 BELGIUM
9 MONACO
10 CHINA
11 BRAZIL
12 SPAIN
13 GERMANY
14 ITALY
15 ABU DHABI
16 MALAYSIA
17 HUNGARY
4 and 6 should be switched.
Hehe I found this really fun trying to work out the races, but with my awful memory it was hard to remember what happened in certain races!! But I think I got a couple, like I guessed Monza based on Lewis crashing from 3rd right near the end, and memorable things like that.
It’s a proper challenge though!

Ah quite a few people have got them all right, well done! First to post a complete set of full answers was AndrewT. IDR, Xanathos and Pedro Andrade were next to nail it.
Well, now I see I’ve done all right, I must confess that was not because I have an extraordinary memory having all races in mind.
What I have done (in more less 20 minutes) is to find for the 1st, 2nd, and 3dr positions, the position they started, looking at your charts, and then, compare those positions with the stats one can find in F1 (The official one).
There have been only 2 races with the same starting grid positions for the podium, Spain and China. (1,3,5: The first started in P1, the second in P3 and the third in P5), so for those races I counted the number of laps looking at the points you show in your charts). As Spain has 66 laps and China 56, was easy to find the correct one.
The only one I guessed directly was Malaysia just because if you look directly to your charts, Nr 16 has more less half points than the rest.
So, at the end, as I said previously, I’m not “a man with F1 season in his head” I’ve just establish some methodology that works!!
it would be great for the rest who have found the correct answers, to know how they did it, just to find the “truly” champion. Not my case!!!!
