I’ll do the next one, then!
Jarno Trulli: another tough one, as he spent several years at several teams. Although some of his most memorable underdog performances came earlier in his career (Austria 1997 for Prost, Monaco 2004 for Renault) I’m going to say Toyota, where he spent the longest period of his career and arguably reached his peak as a driver in 2005. You do wonder what he might have achieved had he not fallen out with Flavio the year before and had had the chance to drive the 2005-06 Renaults. One for the F1 website’s “Alternative Histories” series!
Gerhard Berger: having only started following the sport in the mid to late 90s, I have no memory of watching Berger race anything other than a Benetton. So that’ll be my pick, although I’d assume fans older than myself would probably go for Ferrari or McLaren.
Nick Heidfeld: it’s got to be (BMW) Sauber, as he drove for the team in three of its iterations and achieved the majority of his best results with them. Speaking of Nick, I can recommend his “Beyond the Grid” episode for anyone who hasn’t listened to it yet. He is refreshingly balanced and objective in his analysis of his career and his rivals, neither talking himself up nor falling into self-deprecating humour, as some other retired F1 drivers do!
Anyway, here are three more drivers:
– Pedro Diniz
– Pedro de la Rosa
– Sakon Yamamoto (why not!)5th December 2019, 20:41 at 8:41 pm #41914030th November 2019, 21:45 at 9:45 pm #418473Tom L.ParticipantExcellent shout, but not what I was looking for! It is F1-related.
27th November 2019, 22:18 at 10:18 pm #418018Tom L.ParticipantOK, who completes this sequence?
Nicholas Latifi
Lando Norris
Artem Markelov
?25th November 2019, 16:51 at 4:51 pm #417932Tom L.ParticipantIs it Sebastian Vettel? I’m guessing the sequence is drivers who took their respective teams’ only GP win (to date, at least, in Toro Rosso’s case)!
12th February 2018, 14:50 at 2:50 pm #358687Tom L.ParticipantMight be barking up the wrong tree here but my guess is that they’re ranked according to how quickly they won their first Grand Prix for Ferrari after joining the team. Prost achieved it on his second start for the team; Räikkönen and Andretti on their first, but Andretti obviously did it first. So according to that logic, I’m going to say the first one is Giancarlo Baghetti!
9th February 2018, 12:06 at 12:06 pm #3586548th February 2018, 17:01 at 5:01 pm #358618Tom L.ParticipantAfraid not! It is actually related to something happening chronologically.
7th February 2018, 14:11 at 2:11 pm #358592Tom L.ParticipantOK, who’s the fourth in this sequence?
– Felipe Massa
– Rubens Barrichello
– Sebastian Vettel
– ?7th February 2018, 13:23 at 1:23 pm #358569Tom L.ParticipantSo I guess it must be new race leaders and the guy you’re looking for is everyone’s favourite super-sub, Markus Winkelhock!
24th January 2018, 15:01 at 3:01 pm #358012Tom L.ParticipantIndeed! His only points finishes in F1. Over to you!
24th January 2018, 13:08 at 1:08 pm #358009Tom L.Participant@MattyPF1 If that’s true, it’s a great shout, but not what I was looking for!
I see in the round-up that @nase knows what I’m talking about, but he doesn’t seem to have an account, so I’ll leave it open for the time being. It relates to a particular driver.
22nd January 2018, 17:12 at 5:12 pm #357988Tom L.ParticipantOK, what’s the fourth (and, in all probability, final) entry in this sequence?
2004 German Grand Prix
2004 Hungarian Grand Prix
2004 Italian Grand Prix
?22nd January 2018, 7:15 at 7:15 am #357958Tom L.ParticipantI believe it’s Marcus Ericsson – Japanese F3 title winners who went on to race in F1.
28th April 2017, 10:49 at 10:49 am #341138Tom L.ParticipantI guess it’s that they all won their first Grand prix in 2008? (If this is indeed correct, someone else can take the next one as I won’t be able to get back on here for a few days either).
