guess the ex F1 driver

Post by w00dsy »

Whoever gets it right goes next. I'll give you a clue, this guy had an incident away from the track which resulted in him having to give up F1.

He was pretty handy in a Benetton back in the day. That wasn't meant to be pun either, he was good.

Knappo wins. I didn't recognise him when i saw that pic. Was a good looking rooster back before he stacked his helicopter. Great driver too, the Kubica of the early 90's.

My turn, anyone guess who this is?

Hint: An avid mountain climber it was reported that he had been missing whilst climbing with two friends. Upon calling a police search and rescue team, they informed the police that one of their climbing party had died, and another was presumed to be dying. Eventually, he was found alive while two fellow climbers were found dead.

Yep, pretty easy considering there were not many Japanese F1 drivers back then.

Your turn!

This driver took part in two olympics but didn't qualify for a race along with another very well known driver.

No pic for this :lol:

This guy has had some of the biggest crashes you'll ever see, broken bones and kept on coming back, must have had 9 lives.

Both those answers were wrong by the way

I thought it was an easy one, so keep trying.

I was going to pick Ricardo Rosset though.

I'll give an updated hint though, he wasn't the only one with his name to be in F1.

Ding ding ding to the Duke. Your turn Dukester.

Don't forget his big cart crashes to go along with his F1 crashes.
