2017 edition of the quiz

My results:

.
You scored 20/50 (40.00%).

F1 only: 6/11 (54.55%).

Non-F1: 14/39 (35.90%).

That's not too bad. Most fans did as well as you...


As always, I did as well as most fans...

Not too bad considering I knew the answers to three questions and was extraordinarily lucky with the other 20 I managed to get right...

Not as many people attempting this quiz as last year. I realised over the Christmas break that I had not collated a table of last year's results, so I am listing both years together. (Those who gave a full breakdown of their results in one table, those who only gave a total score listed separately as they would not have been able to have been separated in the eventuality of a tie, where F1 results are given precedence.)

I'm a bit late to the party but I actually managed to get 26 right when I did the quiz in December. Don't remember the F1/non-F1 stats but what I do remember is that the non-F1 questions went better for me, largely thanks to the easy WRC questions.

I seem to remember guessing every single one of them and getting 11/50, and either 5 were F1 and 6 were non-F1, or the other way round. Either way, I did really, really shite. Just in the spirit of this forum I guess.

Another 10/16 for the pre-season tests. That's about where Force India should be in their moving slab of coconut ice... but aren't.

It's not quite Christmas yet but Autosport has done a fun little quiz about everyone's favourite 1990s backmarkers. I expect high scores from you people :vergne:

https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/137475/can-you-name-these-1990s-f1-backmarkers

I scored 17/20 - identifying reject helmets and car numbers aren't my strong point apparently.

So here is this year's traditional Autosport Christmas quiz offering.

I scored 22/50, which, apparently, is "not bad, but you could do better." Not given a breakdown between F1 and non-F1 questions this year, unfortunately . :(
