devilsinskirts 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2006 Presumably you are referring to seasons where the Indy 500 counted towards the F1 title. Which would make it 1959 and 1960, when races were also held at Sebring and Riverside respectively. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devilsinskirts 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2006 And here's an easy one for you (I think it still holds true). Who is the only driver to win his very first F1 WDC race? (Ignoring Farina's win in the very first WDC race). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suomenpankki 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2006 TEAM:- it has Salora written everywhere one it, but could it be a porshe surtees??? loc. = Sweden Anderstorp dri. = Leo Kinnunen tea. = AAW Racing (a Finnish F1 team) Our first Finnish F1 driver Leo Kinnunen and here is his story... Kinnunen was close to moving to Formula One already for the 1971 season. With the help of Jochen Rindt he was negotiating for a race seat with Team Lotus, which was controlling the series at the time and eventually won the World Constructors' Championship that season. After Rindt's sudden death at Monza, the negotiations came to a halt. According to Kinnunen, Bernie Ecclestone wanted him to drive for free. Kinnunen turned down the offer and demanded a wage for his services, as he was a professional racer. This ended his Formula One career even before it had actually started, and he went to drive in the Interserie instead. In 1974, Kinnunen was looking for a job and John Surtees offered him one of his new Formula One cars, Surtees TS16, on lease. Kinnunen accepted the offer since the Surtees TS14 had done well the previous season. After finally finding sponsorship, Kinnunen entered the series with a new team and a Cosworth DFV V8 3.0 litre engine. Antti Aarnio-Wihuri allowed the team to use the name AAW Racing Team, which was recognized and had a good reputation in racing circles. AAW Racing's first Grand Prix at Nivelles turned out to be a disaster. The TS16 arrived in time for the race weekend, but Kinnunen had never even sat in the car before. It also turned out that the car had been used as a mobile testbed by the factory, and it already had a damaged monocoque and rear suspension. On top of that, it was 80 kilos overweight, the engine lacked power and the team wasn't allowed to get the top quality tires all the top teams had. When Kinnunen took the car on track, its gearbox broke after three laps. The team, consisting of only three mechanics, had no spare parts and repairing it turned out to be unsuccessful, as the gearbox broke again in qualifying, leaving Kinnunen without a recorded time and the only driver not to qualify for the race. After Nivelles, the team concentrated on testing and fixing the car. They didn't travel to Monaco but entered the next race in Sweden. Kinnunen managed to qualify 25th, but the team knew that the car wouldn't last 'til the end of the race, so they fueled it for only ten laps. This compensated the overweight of their TS16 and Kinnunen managed to overtake five cars in eight laps before a spark plug problem forced him to retire. The rest of the season didn't go well for the team either. They weren't allowed to take part in the Dutch Grand Prix and didn't qualify for the races in France, Great Britain, Italy and Austria. Lack of funding then forced the team to retire from Formula One Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't the team only have one attempt and then folded??? Would not have a clue who drove for them thou!!!! And it must have been at the first GP of the year so I think it was less than 10 years ago so it must have been the Australian GP in Melbourne. I think I'm completely wrong but what the heck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I'm completely wrong but what the heck Unfortunatly No. Good try though. Your thinking a bit too long ago. the question asks for the LAST team and driver, so mostly 1 of the last years of a rule change so... NF- nope but closer to the answer. HINT:- The driver does not currently race in F1. and he is compared with one or 2 other driver on this forum sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
