Bernd Mayländer.

And it must be the spectacular Canadian GP this year.

Next question:
What was the longest distance between to sucessive victories.

Driver and Grand Prix please!

I would hazard a guess at one of teh long time serving but low winning guys in F1 like a Gerhard Berger?

[matt21]

The direction is good, but it is not Berger.

in Canada the SC led for 28 laps and Button only on the last.

[shelly]

Riccardo Patrese form South Africa 1983 to Imola 1990?

[matt21]

Yes, shelly

[shelly]

What was the nickname of the first version of the 1972 Ferrari 312 B3?

[matt21]

Was it the snowplough?

Edit: Could not be, the B3 was in 1973.

[shelly]

Yes it was the snowplough, which was presented in 1972 but never raced. Than the following B3 ran in 1973.
Myself at the beginning had wrote 1973 and changed after checking on wiki that the snowplough was in fact earlier.

So your turn matt21

[xpensive]

The nickname of Mauro Forghieri's 1972 B3 was actually "Spazzaneve", which however translates to snowplough.

[matt21]

What was special in the development of this engine during the years of use?

[xpensive]

They went from having the xhaust in the vee on the Ferrari 3.0 V12 of 1966-69, to the execution shown on the pic,
or was it perhaps the other way around?

[matt21]

Thats only part of it.

[xpensive]

Thats only part of it.

I should have known, your questions are rarely very specific, like calling a 3.5 liter engine "F3000"?

[matt21]

Sorry, but if I made this more specific it would be too easy. And there were others with also not too specific questions in the past.

And for the "F3000" thing I relied on the sources I had.

[xpensive]

Wasn't it also going from three-valve heads to four-valve?

[matt21]

I would let that count.

They were going from two over three to four vlves and where always switching the in- and outlet.

Your turn.
