Rear of a Brawn GP car, focused on their controversial double-decker diffuser.

Because the FIA just deemed Toyota, Williams, and Brawn's diffusers legal.

yawn.

Ok, now for something off the wall...

Name the owner of the team who raced this car.

Without looking it up, no clue ... though I see it says Alfa Romeo on the side.

Parmalat is Brazilian so perhaps that's a clue to the driver? Fittipaldi? ... but you asked for the team Owner... really drawing a blank ... was Max or Bernie? I know they ran teams in the 70's.

Wait - the vortex diffuser thingy ... wasn't that a controversial Brabham?

Yup.  The "Fan Car" from Brabham that was owned by Bernie Ecclestone.  Thought it was fitting given how you started it off.

Oh no hint needed for that one!

Michael deliberately parked sideways down in Ras Casse (sp?) to red flag Qualifying at Monaco, in an attempt to prevent Alonso from taking P1 from him.

Deservedly, the FIA threw the book at him.

Ok, I think I'm gonna get this one wrong.

I'm going to guess Timo Glock at Hockenheim.  I remember the crash being bad, but I don't think he got that much air.

Disclaimer:  I didn't have speed from like 2003 through 2007, so specific race incidents in that range are going to be hard for me as I only got to watch 10% of the races and got the rest of my info from websites.

However, now looking at the image info for that picture and it being located on a German site, I have a higher confidence level of it being Glock (cause he's German).  Although I probably got it right for the wrong reasons.

Ouch, that hurts. Although this was 2002, it was Alan McNish at Suzuka's 130R. Really, really big impact that actually went through the barrier. He was very lucky he went in backwards.


Name that track...
