We're kindred spirits here, no hints needed.

The Tamburello was where Senna died.

 Cry

I only went to Monza on my recent trip to Italy, but on the next trip I WILL be making the pilgrimage to Imola.

Here's possibly a tricky one ... don't answer too quick! Take a moment to think about it Smiley

We act like Brawn GP is a new team, but they're not really ... if you traced ownership back, who was this team ORIGINALLY?

Quadruple points - What team was the most recent genuine new one? Built from scratch?

1,000,000 point triple bonus question - What do we know that team as now?

Almost!

BAR were actually Tyrell.

Stewart was correct (USGPE haven't technically entered yet).

Red Bull also Correct - Nice!

Close, but Becketts is earlier, after Copse.

This one is Stowe ... scene of famous overtaking moves by Mansell and Coulthard ... also the spot where Schumacher had a brake failure and subsequently broke his leg.

Name that track ... (hint - it's not on the calendar this year)

Bonus - name the corner closest to the camera .... (hint - named after another track, also not in the current calendar)

After what significant event did Michael Schumacher achieve his first pole position after 3 years in F1.
