4. How many years was the Argentine Grand Prix held in Buenos Aires in the 1990s?

The circuit produced some fantastic races, notably 1998, but financial difficulties forced the venue to close to Formula One.

Answer: Japan 1997

In the penultimate race of 1997 with Michael Schumacher fighting for the championship with Villeneuve, Irvine played the team game getting ahead of Villeneuve and supporting Schumacher.

6. Who did Vicenzo Sospiri and Ricardo Rosset drive for as teammates?

Answer: Lola Ford

The team was formed prior to the 1997 season. They both failed to qualify in the 1997 Australian Grand Prix, so the team removed itself from Formula One.

Answer: 2002

He came 3rd in Monaco and scored 11 wins in total.

8. Which team did Nigel Mansell race for in his final Grand Prix?

What an ill-fated collaboration with McLaren in 1995, where he couldn't fit in the car, and then after 2 races walked away from F1 for good.

9. Who replaced Jarno Trulli for the last 3 races of 2004?

Answer: Jacques Villeneuve
