F1 Fanatic

Hello all, as all of you are aware, I have a great fondness for rolling quizzes here on F1Fanatic. The rules are simple: I give you some clues and you have to figure out which F1 driver I am pretending to be. Whoever gets it right starts off the next round of guess who, and so on and so on. Here goes:

“I was born in Norfolk, scored 9 podiums and 98 career points, and raced for eight teams. I have won at Le Mans, started 158 grands prix, and currently provide commentary for TV coverage of F1. I also have a son currently competing in Formula Three.

Who am I?”

Martin Brundle, that was a little easy!

Come on PortuGoose, Portu-Give-us a harder one!

Jan Magnussen!

Okay, I’ll try a little harder one, although I don’t believe it will take too long for the F1 fanatics to resolve this:

“I’m Italian, I used to race in F1 in 1990s but I had a bad car and not much luck so sometimes I did not manage to qualify for the race. Now I have my own sportscar racing team. Who am I?”

Good try but I actually had another “F1 reject” in mind.

Okay, he was born on the same date as Enzo Ferrari, just 60 years later.

Was it Giovanni Lavaggi?

Woohoo!

I shall continue with an Italian driver for this one.

I share my first name with one of the most famous footballing referees.

I was the driver who brought the first points to a popular minnow team and also a front row grid position.
