I believe the oldest to enter a Grand Prix (I note your use of the word 'enter', not 'drive in') was Monagasque Louis Chiron who was entered to drive a Maserati in his home Grand Prix in 1956. The engine blew up in practice so he did not take part in the race itself on Sunday 13 May.

He was born on 3 August 1899 which makes him 56 at the time, just under 3 months from his 57th birthday.

Correct! =D>

Any idea on the youngest?

Mike Thackwell?

Mike Thackwell?

Close but no cigar. Look at the 1950 F1 season.

What has Mark Webber achieved in F1 that neither Micheal Schumacher, Ayrton Senna, Mika Hakkinen and Felipe Massa have not?

[zgred]

He scored a point (two in fact) in his first F1 GP - 2002 - Australian GP - P.5 - 2 pts.
Mostly due to flying Ralf :]

The youngest was Billy Garrett who entered the Indy race in 1950 aged just over 17 1/2 years old. Maybe this one was too obscure! D'oh!!

[dumrick]

It was so obscure that even Wikipedia only reports two world championship entries from Billy (at Indy, of course) in 1956 and 1958!

What is the FIA ratified speed record of an F1 car?

[andrew]

249mph (400km/h).

I'll let someone else pose a question incase I got this right.

[JohnsonsEvilTwin]

Correct!

For a clean sweep why is Cora Schumacher special?

[andrew]

She is married to Ralf Schumacher and they have a son, David, who was born in 2001.

What a sister in law for Michael!

[JohnsonsEvilTwin]

She was also a huge PORNSTAR.

Ralf had to actually buy hundreds of her pix before they could be "official"....
