I don't really understand the question but I'm sure it'll make sense when someone puts the answer up

Not sure this is what you are looking for but the Australian Grand Prix of 1995 was the last race of that year and the first race of 1996. So two consecutive races as the Australian Grand Prix. Both races were won by Damon Hill.

It was just a change in the schedule from the last race of the season to the first in consecutive years.

Well done though technically, if we want to be pedantic, one could argue it wasn't consecutive rounds of the championship rather consecutive races covering 2 championships. Then again I might be just being a prick about it.

My first thought was the 1984 F1 season when there was back to back races in the U.S but it turns out Piquet won Detroit while Rosberg won Dallas.

Not at all, you are right, these are two different years

1984 was also my first guess but in addition to having different winners, they were (and still are) badged as the "Detroit Grand Prix" and the "Dallas Grand Prix". Neither was or is now called "The US Grand Prix".

Maybe, we need wire2004 to confirm!

I've just thought one up - someone will point it out if I missed something:

What did the 2018 cohort of F1 drivers manage that has never been achieved before?

First year in the history of the sport where the same drivers that started the season, finished the season.

I was surprised myself when Martin Brundle mentioned this.

Not just that they finished the season, they competed at every race.

I didn't hear him say it - so I just went back through every season - I thought I'd only be going back 5 or 6 years!

Was also the first season where every driver on the grid scored points during the season. All the way down to 1 point scored by Sergei Sirotkin.

In previous years there were always drivers who scored no points during the season.

When was the most recent instance of a Team ending the season with a driver line up different to the one it started with (not inlciding subs/stand ins). ?

2017 - Sainz replaces Palmer at Renault with about four races to go.

I agree. I also do not know the answer, although if there was one team capable of doing this that comes to mind it would be Toro Rosso.

Ah so the two drivers who started at race one were replaced by two different drivers by the last race?

Sorry yes - both drivers changed at some point in the year.

Indeed. Their driver merry-go-round in 2017 saw them start the year with Kvyat and Sainz, and end it with Gasly and Hartley. Sainz moved to Renault and Kvyat was replaced for poor performances.

I had to turn to Wikipedia to find other examples, and I could only find two:
1) Toyota in 2004. Cristiano da Matta was fired and replaced by Ricardo Zonta who was in turn replaced by Trulli after he was booted out of Renault. Panis then stepped down from the other seat for the last race for reasons I can't recall and Zonta stepped back in.

2) Prost in 2001. Alesi left for Jordan mid-season, and Gaston Mazzacane was replaced by Luciano Burti after just a handful of races (one has to wonder why they hired Mazzacane in the first place, he was hopeless). Burti himself then missed the last few races of the season after his horror crash at Spa and was replaced by Tomas Enge.

I'm sure there are more if you go back further in time, as driver line-ups over the season are much more stable now than they used to be. There are probably multiple examples amongst the tangled web of driver changes we saw in 1994, for instance.

Nice post, thank you

OK I'm not 100% sure I've got this correct... but what do the following 2 Grand Prix have in common:

Brazil 1996
Hockenheim 2014

Oh, not sure to be honest. It was another fact that made this particular GP a bit more special!

Brambilla spun in Austria 1975.

I'd really love to answer this question but to be honest I cheated so i'll not blow it but it's a very amusing tale.

Isnt that the race where a driver. (The name escapes me) where he had a DNQ, RET, and a DQ. in the same race weekend.

He failed to qualify on the saturday
Snook out and made the race start. He knew a official or something who allowed him to drive to the grid.
He then Retired from the race on something like lap 12 or 13.
And then when the organisers realised the mistake. They then also disqualified him from the race weekend.

BINGO!!!

DNQ, DNS, DSQ all in one go! The name of this legend is Hans Heyer.

The podium (Vettel, Hamilton, Button) were the three most recent world champions? I’m guessing that might have happened before, so is it something to do with Vettel becoming world champion and sharing the podium with the previous two champions?

That's the bit I'm not sure about. I don't remember it ever happening before.

Another multiple champs snippet from the same race... the top four qualifiers were two former champs, the reigning champ, and the about-to-become-champ.

Which driver holds the record for the most F1 appearances without ever qualifying to race, and what was his team?

(Confession: This came up in a pub quiz and I got it wrong. My answer was actually the driver with the second most appearances without ever qualifying. I'd never heard of the guy who holds the record so well done if you know it.)

That’s one I had to check because I’d heard it before but couldn’t remember the name. I went on the wiki page for 1990 and was like, "yeah, that’s the fella."

For the last three WDC question - USA 1991 - Senna, Prost, Piquet
