    A hint: these are the 4 most recent drivers (to date) to have suffered a certain fate. They are certainly not the only drivers to have done so.

    @kevincucamest: True, but not the answer I was after I’m afraid.

    Complete this sequence: Raikkonen, Fisichella, Vettel, …?

    Fernando Alonso (winners of World Championship races at Fuji Speedway)?

    My guess:

    7 Alain Prost (in 1984)

    These are occasions where a driver won more races than that season’s World Champion. In other instances of 6+ victories (e.g. Prost in 1988, Raikkonen in 2005, Schumacher in 2006), the champion also won the same number, if not more, races.

    If this is correct, somebody else can set the next question.

    The classification on the side of the screen could include an indication of which drivers have made their mandatory pit stops and which ones still have to stop again. Possibly even include an indication of which tyres everybody is on and how many laps they have done on them (a coloured number is sufficient for this).

    @keithcollantine: indeed you can!

    The answer to my question was Stirling Moss (drivers to have won races with 2, 3, 4, and 5 different constructors).

    @peartree: not correct.


    @pukktpie
    : my intended answer does not relate to World Championships :)

    @pukktpie: no, Vettel is not the answer for my intended sequence.

    @pukktpie: not the answer I am looking for, but it seems to work, so I think you can set the next question.

    For anyone who still wants to guess my intended answer, I will give the hint that it is to do with race victories.

    Hint: there are multiple drivers who could fit the first 3 spots in the sequence, however there is only one correct option for the 4th spot.

    All those drivers managed those number of victories without ever managing a pole position (Irvine’s 4 is a record, tied with Bruce McLaren).

    My sequence: Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, Alain Prost, …?

    Eddie Irvine? Drivers with 1, 2, 3, and 4 victories (to date).

    Monaco 1996 went over the 2-hour limit as well.

    Interestingly, the rules regarding the 2-hour limit do seem to have changed in recent years. Previously, if the 2-hour limit was reached, the lap that the race leader was on at that moment would be the last one. But yesterday, after the clock hit 0:00, Hamilton completed the lap he was on (he had just started it) and then one further lap (I have checked the current rules, and this is correct). I’m guessing this rule change came about as under the previous rules a driver may be uncertain if he has finished the race or not when he crosses the line.

    The 4 oldest drivers to score their first World Championship wins – Luigi Fagioli at #1.
