Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who was Damon a test driver for in 1991?

Answer: Williams

Damon helped evolve the car that eventually gave Nigel Mansell his World Championship title in 1992.
2. Who was Damon's teammate in 1993?

Answer: Alain Prost

Nigel Mansell won the 1992 Championship, but Frank Williams signed Alain Prost for 1993, and having been his teammate at Ferrari Mansell, left and went to America for the Indy Car Series.
3. In Monaco 1993, where did Damon finish?

Answer: Second

Senna romped home in first place for his record sixth win at Monaco, beating Graham Hill's previous five wins. Monaco was Hill's third runner-up spot in the season.
4. How many points did Damon score in his first full Formula One season?

Answer: 69

Damon had three wins and two pole positions, finishing third in the Championship behind Prost and Senna.
5. 1994 saw Damon start the season as the teammate of the great Ayrton Senna. Sadly, Senna lost his life at San Marino. Who became Damon's next teammate?

Answer: David Coulthard

Damon was the only Williams' driver to take part in the next race at Monaco, but he was then joined by Coulthard (who was Williams' test driver) when he stepped into the second Williams at the Spanish Grand Prix. The French Grand Prix saw the return of Mansell, who then drove for four guest races for Williams that year.
6. What happened to Damon in the last race at Australia 1994?

Answer: Schumacher turned in on Damon and took them both out.

Schumacher, who was having problems with his car, turned in and collided with Damon, who was trying very hard to overtake Schumacher. Their cars were unable to carry on, and the race was over for both of them. If Damon had known that Schumacher's car was damaged before this, he may well have held back and won the race and the championship.
7. How many points did Michael Schumacher beat Damon by in 1994, when he won the championship?

Answer: 1

Michael Schumacher scored 92 points and Damon 91. Damon had won six races and taken two pole positions, and had come so near to winning the World Championship.
8. The opening race of 1995 was in Brazil. Damon claimed the pole position, but what happened to him in the race?

Answer: His rear suspension gave way

Damon's day ended when his suspension gave way, sending him into to the grass. Schumacher won the race, with an unlucky Coulthard coming in second. Points were later stripped from Coulthard due to a fuel irregularity.
9. In the last race of the 1995 season in Australia. Damon finished third.

Answer: False

Damon not only won the race, but he also took the pole position and had the fastest lap. He finished five laps ahead of the eighth (and last) place driver. He was also an amazing two laps ahead of the second placed driver.
10. 1996 saw Damon win the championship. Who was his teammate?

Answer: Jacques Villeneuve

Frank Williams selected IndyCar World Champion Jacques Villeneuve to partner Damon, another driver with a famous Formula One Dad (Gilles Villeneuve).
