F1 2018 Quiz of the Year

Welcome everyone to the 2018 f1 pub quiz. Having tortured a lot of people last year, I thought the real pain should begin this year :lol: (be warned, there are a lot of trick questions, some which may not be apparent)


rules are simple, post all your answers in spoilers, DO NOT ALTER / additional answers and above all, no discrimination or such towards other users / people.

you have permission to change your answer to question 17 as I made a mistake (should say which instead of how many). Overall however, I am impressed

Could We have some clarification on question 4. Is it purely numerical or is it percentage?

Frick, I screwed up QX. Oh well.

numerical (most wins would imply numerical in my mind tbh, if it was percentage, I would have used the word proportion).

2 years in a row and you have had the best answers by far ( afaik, Eamon holmes has accomplished a lot in f1 :lol:)
Few of the questions were a bit vague so just went on my gut.

I think it is safe to say this has been harder than last year's :lol: (hopefully @tpx1 doesnt do this as I have a feeling he knows most of the answers :s-smilie:)
I've devised another quiz if anyone wants to have a go. Be warned though - it's pretty brutal...
