No, it's not Ricciardo.

I have to say I was impressed by that. How did you know?

Guess I've just seen him on TV often enough to recognise him...

Bingo.

Tartan on the helmet was a clue. My first thought before I saw the answer was Jackie Stewart (knowing he had tartan as a ring round his helmet) but realised it looked nothing like him, so my next guess would have been Mr McNish (knowing DC and Franchitti had the Saltire instead...).

The photo is from 11 March 2006 during Qualifying at Bahrain International Circuit. Trust me, it is Nick. :geek:

Oh, I wasn't doubting it, it's just surprising to see how much Nick's appearance has changed over the years. Though the beard probably helps a lot in that regard...

Who is the former F1 driver that crashed this truck?

Enrique Bernoldi. Just a first guess.

No, it's not Coulthard's bff.

From the sheer violence of the impact, I'm tempted to say Luciano Burti.

However, with this being a truck, it could also be Slim Borgudd...

DanielPT · Post by **DanielPT** » 17 May 2013, 11:43

Between former F1 drivers Jan Lammers is usually the Truck guy, but this truck has some Petrobras sponsorship so the driver should be a Brasilian... I will go with Antônio Pizzonia, doing one off in a truck which might explain why the truck is upside down to begin with.

Jocke1 · Post by **Jocke1** » 17 May 2013, 12:01

the sheer violence of the impact = Burti

which might explain why the truck is upside down to begin with = Pizzonia

No right answer yet.

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 17 May 2013, 12:21

I say Ricardo Rosset.

Ferrarist · Post by **Ferrarist** » 17 May 2013, 12:22

Didn't Cristiano da Matta have a huge crash with a truck a couple of years ago?

Jocke1 · Post by **Jocke1** » 17 May 2013, 12:30

It's not a Brazilian.

WaffleCat · Post by **WaffleCat** » 17 May 2013, 12:55

Still looks like a South American,definitely....Gaston Mazzacane?

Post by **kevinbotz** » 17 May 2013, 12:57

Jocke1 wrote:It's not a Brazilian.

Well, I was about to suggest Christian Fittipaldi. Now I'm stumped.

Post by **kevinbotz** » 17 May 2013, 13:02

Gaston Mazzacane?

I'm pretty sure that livery is from an ABF truck. From what I've found, only five F1 drivers have participated in "Formula Truck"; Chico Serra, Gaston Mazzacane, Cristiano da Matta, Christian Fittipaldi, and Alex Caffi. Of those five drivers, only Mazzacane and Fittipaldi drove for ABF Mercedes. Since Fittipaldi is Brazilian, and the driver in question is former-F1, it has to be Mazzacane.

Jocke1 · Post by **Jocke1** » 17 May 2013, 13:15

Mazzacane it is. (I just love that guy)

Guess who this is:

pi314159 · Post by **pi314159** » 18 May 2013, 09:26

Damon Hill?

No, but this kid also became a Formula One driver later on.

WaffleCat · Post by **WaffleCat** » 18 May 2013, 10:54

Gary Brabham...cause,why not?

Jocke1 · Post by **Jocke1** » 18 May 2013, 10:55

WaffleCat wrote:Gary Brabham...cause,why not?

Nope.

Two clues:
1. He is not a Reject.
2. He never raced in the same decade as Damon Hill.

The Dutch Bear · Post by **The Dutch Bear** » 18 May 2013, 11:52

Mark Webber, I guess. Alan Jones is too old for this picture because somehow I think this picture has been made in Australia, it has been an Auzzie.

Aerospeed · Post by **Aerospeed** » 18 May 2013, 13:30

Too young for Mark Webber, methinks.

Let's see... Cars in the background look like they came from the early 70s, so he would have raced in the late 70s and/or 80s...

Just taking wild guesses here
James Hunt?
Niki Lauda?
Patrick Depailler?
Nelson Piquet?

Post by **tommykl** » 18 May 2013, 13:33

Could it be Mike Thackwell?

Salamander · Post by **Salamander** » 18 May 2013, 13:44

I'm gonna guess Eddie Cheever.

Jocke1 · Post by **Jocke1** » 18 May 2013, 14:25

The Dutch Bear called it.

It is Mark Webber, age 11. He is pushing Jack Brabham's 1967 Brabham-Repco at the Australian GP in '87.

The Dutch Bear · Post by **The Dutch Bear** » 20 May 2013, 18:53

Since this is the Month of May a question about the Indianapolis 500.
Ever since the beginning there has been a pace car, it was even invented there.
In 1991 the pace car was a pre-production Dodge Viper RT/10, however it was not the car originally intended to be the pace car.
What was the original pace car and why was it replaced?

Because the Dodge Stealth (original pace car) was not built in America

The Dutch Bear · Post by **The Dutch Bear** » 21 May 2013, 06:16

Right, the Dodge Stealth was the original pace car. It is basically a rebadged Mitsubishi GTO/3000 GT and built in Japan.
This to the dismay of UAW, the powerful labour union, and 'traditionalists', because of their pressure the Dodge Stealth was withdrawn.

OK, my turn! 'Back to F1 on this.

At which race did drivers compete to post the slowest time in qualifying?

Presumably this is before the system of 'fastest driver in qualifying is on pole' really caught on, so I'd guess in the pre-war era. Can't be more specific than that though.

Nope, it happened at World Championship event.

I'll give a clue. I did not say they obtained the pole with the slowest time.
