Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When and where was 'The Flying Finn' Mika Hakkinen's first victory?

Answer: Europe 1997

Having broken the winning 'jinx' he had for so many years, it was the start of many more victories and two championships for Hakkinen. There were two GPs in Spain in 1997. One in Barcelona, which was the official Spanish GP which was won by Jacques Villeneuve, and the one in Jerez, which went under the name of the European GP, which Mika won.

2. Michael Schumacher is a multiple-times world champion, but when and where was his first ever victory?

Answer: Belgium 1992

He broke many records in the beginning of the 21st century including Prost's record for the most wins. The previous record was 51, held by Alain Prost. Michael broke the record in Suzuka, in 2001.

3. Kimi Raikkonen is known as the 'Iceman', but can you keep cool enough to answer this: when and where was Kimi's maiden victory?

Answer: Malaysia 2003

At 23, he became the third youngest driver ever to win a grand prix. Interestingly, the youngest driver to win a GP was Bruce McLaren, creator of team McLaren in 1966, who achieved his first win in a Cooper in 1959, aged 22, before Fernando Alonso won the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2003.

4. Gerhard Berger was known around the pit lane for being a practical joker, but when did he stop joking around and win his first GP?

Answer: Mexico 1986

When Gerhard retired in 1997, he was one of the most experienced drivers, having participated in 210 Grand Prix.

5. When and where was the charismatic Jean Alesi's first win?

Answer: Canada 1995

It was his only victory in his career, even though he deserved many more.

6. When and where was Scot David Coulthard's first victory?

Answer: Portugal 1995

Portugal was only his 21st race in Formula One-impressing many critics who thought Coulthard wasn't good enough to replace Ayrton Senna after he died.

7. The cheerful Rubens Barrichello waited for victory for a long time. When and where did he break the jinx?

Answer: Germany 2000

When Ayrton Senna died in 1994, Brazil redirected their F1 hopes onto Rubens Barrichello, even more so when Rubens went to Ferrari in 2000.

8. Where and when was the now retired champion Damon Hill's first victory?

Answer: Hungary 1993

Alain Prost was so impressed, that when Prost became world champion, instead of Hill having a number 2 on his car, Prost insisted on Damon having a 0 on his car, as he felt Hill was an equal match to him.

9. Where and when was Heinz-Harald Frentzen's maiden victory?

Answer: San Marino 1997

When he started F1, it was said that he was the only man to match Michael Schumacher, a promise which Frentzen has not fulfilled.

10. When and where was the always cheerful Johnny Herbert's first ever victory?

Answer: Britain 1995

12. When and where was the very versatile Jackie Stewart's maiden victory?

Answer: Italy 1965

13. Frenchman Olivier Panis: when and where was his first win?

Answer: Monaco 1996

A very strange race - out of the 20 that started, only 6 finished, so Panis claimed his maiden victory out of pure luck, as he was in a under-powered Ligier.
