F1 Fanatic

@craig-o, I think you’ve hit the nail on the head there, but you haven’t said the answer. The four closest finishes in F1 are, in reverse order:

de Angelis beats Rosberg by 0.050s at 1982 Austrian Grand Prix
Senna beats Mansell by 0.014s at 1986 Spanish Grand Prix
Barrichello beats Schumacher by 0.011s at 1992 US Grand Prix
Gethin beats Peterson by 0.010s at 1971 Italian Grand Prix

So the answer must be Ronnie Peterson. Francois Cevert finished third in that race, just a further 0.080s behind Peterson.

@Estesark So did that mean I got it right? Haha

Well, that was a bit of an anti-climax. Since Estesark hasn’t put forth another question, may I suggest the next one? It’s a good one.

Complete the sequence: Scheckter – Verstappen – Lehto – ???

@prisoner-monkeys, I was just waiting for confirmation of the correct answer. But I don’t mind you taking my turn.

Alex Yoong?
Drivers who were rested or stood down by their team but later returned (Scheckter after the famous Silverstone pile-up)

I say Adrian Sutil due to some trouble with the law. The question has only surnames, so Scheckter might refer to Tomas and not Jody.

@Prisoner Monkeys

Kamui Kobayashi

Alphabetical order of the first name of the drivers.

@Prisoner Monkeys

Lewis Hamilton

Run-ins with the law while their F1 career was ongoing.
