8. A circuit you consider to be the worst-

Valencia Street Circuit- Jahq- POINTLESS

Caesars Palace, Las Vegas- Severin, PeteFromLeeds- (1)

Posted by: King Rollo 24th May 2020, 04:09 PM

That was unlucky Pete and I both picking the same McLaren driver when there were many to choose from.

Posted by: Mack. 24th May 2020, 04:11 PM

9. A driver you consider to be a flop








Michael Andretti- Severin- POINTLESS
Derek Daly- King Rollo - POINTLESS
Gianmaria Bruni- dobbo - POINTLESS
Robert Kubica- PeteFromLeeds - POINTLESS
Romain Grosjean- Sarah - POINTLESS
Pastor Maldonado- Jahq- - POINTLESS

Posted by: Mack. 24th May 2020, 04:23 PM

10) A driver you consider to be the worst you've seen-







Jean Denis Deletraz- Severin- POINTLESS
Yuji Ide- King Rollo - POINTLESS
Taki Inone- dobbo - POINTLESS
Alex Yoong- PeteFromLeeds- POINTLESS


Lance Stroll- Sarah, Jahq (1)


For the final question we have the classic worst F1 drivers with Deletraz, Ide who got his superlicence revoked after 4 races in 2006 and infamously crashed into Albers and the phantom red flag. Inone who hit by the medical car in Hungary and crashed into the safety car at Monaco in 1995. And Alex Yoong who with millions in Malaysia was the last driver before the HRTs came to fall foul of the 107% rule. There is one point for Lance Stroll who is currently driving for Stroll's Daddy Day Care and Perez after his dad Lawrence bought Force India back in 2018, that and also a drive for Aston Martin next year. He still has more podiums than one Nico Hulkenberg somehow.


I leave you with classic clips from these infamous half dozen.

It was always likely than 10 pointless answers would be required to win that one. Well done Dobbo.

Thanks for hosting,Mack.

Argh at being 100% pointless until the last question, but well done Dobbo.

Loved that I could put the same driver down for four questions, and it paid off
