Sorry Ensign, the discussion was still on Chiron's lengthy time in the saddle, I had [wrongly] assumed your question a page or so ago was answered. Sorry

Yes Tecno's the correct answer. They also manufactured F3 and F2 cars on their way to F1. The only manufacturer to truely scale the ladder from ground to top.

I think I'm owed two questions...

...the one mentioned above (the guy with the interesting take on safety)...

and: which driver's two Grand Prix wins came 18 years apart?

No for both. The chap who won his GPs 18 years apart only ever won 2, as far as I can see. Wimille sadly died before the helmet rules were changed. (clue)

Is it true that Wimille was racing with a helmet for the first time when he had his fatal accident?

No idea, need to check, but I'm amazed no-one has got either yet. There's clues in the thread itself.

The driver winning two GP in 18 years is the frenchman Louis Wagner, winner of the 1908 US-GP in Savannah and the 1926 British-GP in Brooklands.
A guess for the one with the helmet: Philippe Etancelin?

Wow, funformula storms in and is 2 for 2. Absolutely correct. Wagner gets a credit for the British GP (which, in a nod perhaps to the French, was called the RAC Grand Prix) for sharing a Delage with Robert Seneschal.

Philippe Etancelin, whose GP career spanned 4 decades, always used to wear a flat cap turned around on his head. When he was told he had to wear a crash helmet (late on his career) he simply put the one on top of the other.

Over to you, ff.

Is it Leo Kinnunen? He only started 1 I think, Anderstorp in 1974.

Kinnunen is the correct answer.
His only F1-race was the Swedish GP in 1974. Five times he could not qualify the Surtees in that year.

Nordic, next question please.

Kinnunen what a complete nutter... only surpassed by my own father, the Zola Budd of motorsport, who, 19 years ago, took a GT car out in an unofficial practice session with no helmet at all !

Ferdinand de Lesseps' grandfather lead the team that built the Suez Canal (Between the Med and the Red Sea) and this helped the migration of some sort of Sea Slug ....I thought I was on a Motorsport Quiz!!

Well done Stone Man.

The migration of sea slugs is called 'Lessepsian' due to the creation of a canel linking the med and the red sea.

GP Italy 1950:
Dorino Serafini had to hand his Ferrari to Alberto Ascari. Ascaris car had engine problems and was out of the race. So he drove the last 33 laps in the car of Serafini and took second place.

OK, here is a more technical question.

Which was the first F1 car with a carbonfibre monocoque designed to be both, safety cell and aerodynamic shell (like it´s standard now) and which was the last who was designed with a separat cockpit cover?
(Hope anybody understand what I mean )
