In total,how many different F1 circuits have there been over the years.Circuits that have had more than 1 configuration (1 in particular springs to mind)will only count as one. Rob Nolli Illigitimi Carborundum!!!Current Builds: HMS Victory, SV Thermopylae

Despite once being a Ferrari driver, who has entered the most F1 races without scoring a single point?

I know Luca Badoer drove for Ferrari amongst other teams and I'm sure he wasn't very succesful at scoring points. Was it poor old Luca?

Thanks TH,
Which previous Grand Prix circuit had a very unusual corner whose name is the same as an American word for a fairground attraction, what is that corner called and why was it unusual?

Nigel Mansell is known as a great driver,but not apparently by the police who would not let him drive their cars while he was a special constable!However he has one remarkable achievement that no one else has ever done,before or since...what is it & when?

Hmmmm....
Is it that he held both the F1 world championship and the CART title simultaneously?
92 F1 WDC .93 CART champion, but he obtained the CART title before Alain Prost won the 93 F1 WDC.

Mario Andretti, US Grand Prix West (Long Beach, CA), 1982, He had nothing better to do! ? "Just five days after the previous race in Brazil, Carlos Reutemann had shocked his boss Frank Williams, and everyone else in the paddock, by announcing his retirement! When former World Champion (for Williams) Alan Jones insisted he was not available, Williams contacted another former Champion, American Mario Andretti. His commitment to the Patrick Indy racing team posed no conflicts, so he agreed to drive the second Williams for the weekend, saying, "I had nothing else to do, so I accepted."

OK Guys,
Probably an easy one - but I'm rubbish at making up questions!
Who did Damon Hill replace to make his F1 debut?

Giovanna Amati. This was at Brabham, and her sponsor never turned up! Although she never managed to qualify the car...

Ok!
There once was a race where 3 drivers set the exact same qualifying times...
Where? when? and who? And how did they line up on the grid?
