Quiz | F1’s nearly men

After the surprising viral success of my Which F1 Driver Are You? quiz, I thought it was about time I added another one.

Can you name Formula 1’s biggest ‘nearly men’? The drivers who came the closest to glory without ever quite attaining it.

Here are the rules. Drivers have been awarded 10 points for 2nd in the championship, 5 points for 3rd in the championship, 2 points for each 2nd-place finish and 1 point for each 3rd-place finish. Numbers with a * are active drivers and world champions are, of course, excluded.

Which F1 driver are you?

*This quiz has now been updated for the 2023 season*

It’s the off-season, so how better to fill your time than with a pointless F1 quiz?!

Quiz | Formula 1 number 14s

Back in 2019, I did a quiz about the drivers who have used the number 5 throughout F1 history. So, in honour of Fernando Alonso returning to the sport, let’s do the same for the number 14!

Certainly a bit trickier as it’s largely midfield drivers but hey, I’ve already given you the answer for 2014 through to 2021…

Good luck!

Quiz | World champions’ qualifying ratios

It’s been far too long since I posted a quiz. So, here’s a brand new one!

Helpful hint: who knew James Hunt was such a prolific qualifier?

(Whilst pairings of just 1-2 races have been removed from the early years, the number of teammates in the 50s and 60s has somewhat skewed the ratios of early drivers. * indicates the driver is currently active.)

Quiz | Monaco masters

Who are the masters of Monaco?

I’ve gone through the history books and figured out who has been the most successful by awarding points to the top five in every grand prix (10, 6, 4, 2, 1) plus bonus points for pole positions and grands chelem.
