I reckon you have it Woodsy. His crash at Monaco topped of a pretty shit time in F1 in 1994.

Re: guess the ex F1 driver
Too easy for Mr Woods, your turn again...Photo was taken in 2013 Mille Miglia. 
Another ex-F1 driving prodigy who didn't quite make it & was lucky to live but still had a long & illustrious carrer in Motorsport.

Karl Wendlinger and Mercedes already share a long history. He earned his stripes as a pro in the World Sportscar Championship as part of the legendary 1990 Mercedes factory team, which also included, among others, Jochen Mass, Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Michael Schumacher. Karl Wendlinger started in 41 Formula One races from 1991 through 1995.
As an ex-Formula One pilot and Austrian motor sports thoroughbred, Karl serves as an official brand ambassador of Mercedes-AMG and applies his racing experience in support of the AMG Driving Academy as an instructor.

Re: guess the ex F1 driver
He was getting somewhere in F1 until his accident. He needed to move from Sauber, unfortunately he's accident was his undoing in F1.

Re: guess the ex F1 driver
Karl was the one people were talking about out if those 3, shame it didn't work out for him.
See if you can guess this guy. He entered F1 as a teenager.

Re: guess the ex F1 driver
I didn't think Lamy started F1 as a teenager but it looks a bit like him.
I'm kicking myself as I keep thinking that I should know who it is as he looks so familiar.
EDIT: I know who it is now but I'm not going to answer it as I would never have guessed it, wasn't someone I recall even if the face seemed familiar... :obscure:

Re: guess the ex F1 driver
I remember the season he drove in but I don't remember him. Mainly because of the two mighty Mclaren's leading the way!

w00dsy, you're a fucking gun at this, makes me curious as to how many men you must be looking at to recognise them so fastw00dsy wrote:oh god he rings a faint bell, one of the guys stuck an old clunker. Piere Luigi Martini or however you spell it?

Re: guess the ex F1 driver
I'm old so my era was the 80's and 90's, and I absorbed as much info as I could get hold of back then because I was young and enthusiastic. Now i'd have trouble remembering what a guy like Lucas DiGrassi looked like, even though he was only in F1 a few years ago.

Same. I can still remember Nigel Mansell rounding the last turn in Hungry to win the championship and it seems like yesterday.
