Probably barking up the wrong tree here, but I notice these 3 all won races with a straight-4 engine. A few minutes on Wikipedia tells me they were the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in F1 history to do so. So I’ll say Johnnie Parsons, since he appears to have been the first.

Over to you!
6th September 2017, 18:51 at 6:51 pm #349637JackySteegParticipant@chrischrill you’ve got it for the reason you’ve said! Spot on with Alonso. Over to you!
6th September 2017, 0:10 at 12:10 am #349620JackySteegParticipantAlright then!
In reverse chronological order:
Max Verstappen
Pastor Maldonado
Robert KubicaWhich driver is next in the sequence?
3rd September 2017, 21:24 at 9:24 pm #349313JackySteegParticipantPresumably something to do with their retirements then…
Robert Kubica? Most recent 4 drivers to score points in their final Grand Prix?
Or maybe David Coultgard? Most recent 4 drivers to retire on their own terms?

But with Le Mans being so central to the season, certain teams are clearly sacrificing the early races to ensure they don’t get pegged back for the main event. This not only skews the performance for Le Mans, but also devalues the early races.
So perhaps a simple solution would be to shuffle the calendar. Push Silverstone and Spa back into the summer and make Le Mans the first race of the season. Nobody will be giving up Le Mans performance for the championship, and once Le Mans is over, the championship becomes the sole focus, and nobody will want to give points away at that stage.

I think it’s a decent way of adding a little more emphasis on the final event without horribly skewing the outcome (thinking of double points).
1st April 2017, 10:53 at 10:53 am #338860JackySteegParticipant@hunocsi you got it!
1st April 2017, 10:00 at 10:00 am #338850JackySteegParticipantCheers! It cropped up on Facebook earlier that Schumacher had 77 FLaps and Raikkonen had 44, and then it dawned on me…
Anyway, I’m going to go back to the sequences…
Daniel Ricciardo
Valtteri Bottas
Daniil KvyatWho comes next?
31st March 2017, 16:17 at 4:17 pm #338811JackySteegParticipantAlright, Keith, I’ve spent days on this, trying to find any similarities in their careers but I think I’ve got it! It’d be an amazing coincidence if not… Is it a link between Driver A’s fastest laps and Driver B’s race number?
Raikkonen = 44 fastest laps / Hamilton = #44
Hamilton = 31 fastest laps / Ocon = #31
Ricciardo = 8 fastest las / Grosjean = #8
Schumacher = 77 fastest laps / Bottas = #776th March 2017, 21:23 at 9:23 pm #336569JackySteegParticipantKimi Raikkonen, Michael Schumacher, Nigel Mansell? Drivers to come out of retirement?
2nd March 2017, 1:55 at 1:55 am #336188JackySteegParticipant@tom-l you got it!
1st March 2017, 2:18 at 2:18 am #336043JackySteegParticipantAfraid not! Here’s a little clue… Hamilton achieved this last year.
26th February 2017, 10:05 at 10:05 am #335562JackySteegParticipantThanks! Running out of ideas now….
Nigel Mansell
Ayrton Senna
Felipe Massa
Lewis Hamilton25th February 2017, 16:19 at 4:19 pm #335548JackySteegParticipantFrench drivers who won a race for Ligier?
