No trick question, I'll give Chitty a shot before I throw the answer up.

For what it's worth, it was 1975 when it happened.

Woman in 1975... Linda Carter?

[rip|Kalian]

Yeah. She was a controversial pick after she tied Andretti up with her lasso of truth....


Lella Lombardi. She only got .5 point, because of the shortened race.


YAY! I know one F1 fact!

With Raikonnen fired from Ferrari and probably joining McLaren next year they will have two world champions on the same team. 

When was the last time two world champions were on the same team, what year, and what team?

[rip|Bretware]

too easy, except for the year.

[rip|buzinator]

I'm hazy on the early '90s stuff but...

McLaren, 1989? I forget what year Prost took off.

[rip|ChITty]

yup,

McLaren '89 Prost and Senna

Random Q ... How many circuits have hosted the British Grand Prix?

 (only F1 era needed but props for mentioning ones from earlier periods)

[rip|ChITty]

I'm going to guess 3

1. Silverstone
2. Donnington
3. ?

[rip|buzinator]

I'll say that the total number is not correct and also that Donington is partially right in that it has never hosted the British Grand Prix, but is scheduled to do so.

("But, but, SENNA! In the rain!" you say? "European Grand Prix" I respond.)

[rip|ChITty]

OMG.  Too tricky.

[rip|buzinator]

Silverstone, Aintree, Brands Hatch...Donington.

Back in the '20s, Brooklands.
