You’re heading in the right direction. You just need to need to think outside the box a little.

I’ve also thought hard about this, and I can’t come up with it. I probably could, if I had the time and motivation to go through all the Wikipedia pages for the last four year’s races, but I don’t. Would it be too much of a clue if you told us which race the events in question took place, PM?

@enigma – Of course it’s hard. I’m the one asking the question. If you were in the trivia quiz thread, you would have seen that I was challenging people to find some very obscure information, like the time Jody Schekter’s brother Ian was denied entry to Japan. This isn’t as obscure (I hope), but the key to the question is to think outside the box. If you can do that, you can get it in about five minutes because you’ll know exactly where to look.

@estesark – It might be a bit too much of a give-away. So I’ll word it like this: it’s a particular race, but it’s not a particular Grand Prix.

@beardfacef1 – I’m afraid you’re wrong, but you are heading in the right direction.

Nope, I’m afraid not.

Come on guys – these four races have something in common other than what Webber, Kovalainen, Hulkenberg and Trulli did in them. If you work out what that something is, you will work out what the drivers did.

I was first thinking about worst race finish for a polesitter but then I remembered Massa’s and Hamilton’s races in Singapore and Fuji 2008 so have to think something else.

I thought at first it was the fact that in the past 3 races at melbourne (excluding 2011) they all retired on the first lap webber 2008, Kovalainen 2009 and Hulkenberg and Trulli in 2010 and that the accedents created the safetycars but im not too sure this is right.

In 2010 they all retired in a race where the leader also retired?
