Okay. This one's probably gonna be easy.

The only F1 Constructor to have registered but never had its car on the track, even in pre-qualifying. Ironically, the same chassis that was built for the team raced the next year. Well, tried to race. The new team failed to prequalify in 14 races, the last 2 with a different engine.

Life F1?

The chassis, designed (and later disowned) by Richard Divila was meant for the FIRST team, but Divila warned the team of serious structural flaws in the design and they pulled out. Life later bought the chassis, under heavy protest from Divila, modified it to pass the crash tests, popped their W12 in it and took it racing. The W12 proved so unreliable that they switched to a Judd V8 for their final 2 races.

I meant registered for a race. USF1 registered for the Champoinship. I guess the clue wasn't too clear.

They were the new team which failed to prequalify, but i was looking for....

BINGO! The First team it is! The Italian team was actually registered to the 1989 Brazilian GP, the opening race of the 1989 season, but they withdrew because of the reasons antiuser said. Off to you mate!

If anyone wants to post a question go ahead, I've been too busy with work to think of a proper one...

[gridwalker]

Seeing as I've missed several goes, I'll post one ... it'll probably be quite easy, seeing as I have spent the last 6 hours finishing up my New Year's booze

Which F1 race winner's career was initially funded by a funeral director?

[zzed_41]

Heinz-Harald Frentzen, whose father was a funeral director? Not sure if this is what you meant with the clue, but it costs nothing to try

[gridwalker]

Yep, HHF is the answer I was looking for. Over to you!

[zzed_41]

Okay. I'm thinking of a driver whose surname, when translated in English, means "good." However, this does not seem to be the case, as he only had less than 5 race entries.

[antiuser]

Are you talking about Luiz Pereira Bueno from Brazil? His only grand prix entry was at the 1973 Brazilian Grand Prix, where he finished 12th for Surtees.

[zzed_41]

Yep. That's the one.

[zzed_41]

Um, I think you're in the wrong thread.
