8. In what country is the track called Spa-Francorchamps?

Answer: Belgium

Answer: Zolder, Belgium

Grand Prix at Zolder: In qualifying, Villeneuve was on a hot lap when the dawdling March of Jochen Mass strayed into his path. Unwilling to lift, Villeneuve ducked inside but was launched over Mass' left rear wheel, the Ferrari instantly cartwheeling to destruction across the track, nose in the sand, flinging the driver out of the cockpit.

The suicide-in-installments that was Villeneuve's life had reached its final phase, driving Enzo Ferrari to tears and leading Villeneuve's own son, 1997 World Champion Jacques, to adopt a calculating and far different approach to the 'art and genius' of Grand Prix racing.

As Nigel Roebuck of Autocourse wrote in 1982, 'Gilles has gone, and with him the light of genius in Grand Prix racing. In time, of course, another star will emerge, but it will never twinkle with the same intensity again. We are back to normality once more.

The impossible cannot happen.' (from www.f1-grandprix.com)

Answer: Rubens Barrichello

In the Silverstone Michael Schumacher crashed and injured himself. Ferrari had to find a driver to replace Schumacher. Mika Salo, who wasn't driving for any team at the moment, was chosen. Ferrari won the Constructors Championship and Irvine, Schumacher and Salo got their names on the trophy.
