    Quiz - drivers with 10 unwanted records in Formula 1

    Which 10 drivers are these answers?

    (Clues - I assume the Indy 500 races 1950 to 1960 aren't counted since no driver in those is an answer)

    1. Most races without a podium finish?

    2. Most races without scoring a point?

    3. Most World Championship runner-up finishes without winning a title?

    4. Most entries without starting a race? (Actually it is who was knocked out the most times in pre-qualifying. i.e. who took part in pre-qualifying the most times without even being quick enough to ever make qualifying? I think the answer might be
    different if those always knocked out by the 107% Rule in qualifying is included because it says "without ever starting a race")

    5. Most race retirements in career?

    6. Most pole positions without leading a grand prix? (It doesn't specify at what point on Lap 1 they got passed except it must be before Lap 2 started obviously nor whether they subsequently then were never ahead on the track or never led the end of any
    subsequent lap)

    7. Most races without leading a lap? (It doesn't specify whether never being ahead on the track or never leading at the end of any lap)

    8. Overtaken the most times in a single season?

    9. Most driving penalties in a season?

    10. With the shortest time elapsed in career before receiving a penalty?

    (I only got 1 - tough quiz)

    So they're sure to pick up Pic as commentator.

    I didn't get any...

    Without totally spoiling it, the Vettel one is classic!
