Part of the BBC F1 summer break page has a quiz that asks you to name all 33 F1 champions. Having completed it I of course then grumbled about it to the BBC via their contact pages. Because the World Championship was for Formula 2 cars in 1952 and 1953. And technically it wasn't the Formula One World Championship anyway before 1981 - it was the World Championship of Drivers (with the International Cup for Constructors alongside).

Minor rant over :)
 
See, Hulme was the one I was struggling with for a minute and the last one I had to get. Still driving the hell out of GPL on my PC ~20 years after it was released, and I (briefly) couldn't remember who won the '67 title...embarrassing :o:D

By the way...

You have too much time on your hands.

Just so I'm clear, what was it that made you think that? The four-ish minutes that I spent on the quiz, or the three-ish minutes that I spent on a quick note of feedback to the Beeb? ;)
