An American driver scored an F1 win for a German manufacturer. Who, where, when and what brand.

Now that's what I call tight packaging! Flat 8 and a driver in a car the size of a doublemint chewing gum. =D>

-------

A certain Italian driver failed to score points in formula1 driving an Italian car. Then he made a step back to win 3 races in a junior formula... driving an Italian car, only to end up in a very different Italian car to win his class at Le Mans and a championship in the same year.
Name the driver and those 3 Italian cars by 3 different manufacturers.

[Dukeage]

Gianmaria Bruni. The cars were a Minardi PS04, a Dallara GP2/05 (GP2 Series car), and a GT Ferrari F430. The championship for the latter was the GT2 class of FIA GT with Toni Vilander.

sounds pretty obscure

[Pandamasque]

Perfectly correct Dukeage. Your turn.

[Dukeage]

Ignore this if it is too difficult.

Something that has only happened twice in test cricket first happened in Melbourne. It first happened in a Formula One race 335 weeks later in Italy. It has not happened since in a Formula One race. What was it?

[WhiteBlue]

WTF is cricket racing?



Is it this ?

And how do you keep the animals on track?

I need more hints!

[Dukeage]

The first cricket one happened on the 14th of December 1960. As I said, the motor racing occurrence you are looking for is 335 weeks later.

[RDJEHV]

I discovered before that there only have been 2 draws in cricket, but the first one was not in melbourne but in brisbane on the 14th of December 1960, so I discarded that as an option.

[Pandamasque]

A very wild guess. Did lightning strike the ground during the event?

[manchild]

Italian GP 1983, 11th September.

Hmm... A driver (Keke Rosberg) getting 1 minute added to his race time as punishment due to infringement at start of race?

Italian driver getting pole position on Italian GP? (Riccardo Patrese)

If not that, than I'd say last time that an F1 car raced without front wing?

[Pandamasque]

Are any front wings in cricket? Manchild might be onto something...
