Cheers Heinzy and it was a good question, took a fair bit of digging to find the answer!! Well done yourself!! 
OK, my question - a fairly easy one:
Max Mosley, the ex legal eagle for the FIA, (and a real meddler at times in my opinion!!) started his own Formula 1 team, with the help of three friends back around the early '70s. The name of that team was made up from various letters from the first names and surnames of each of the four friends.
What was the name of that team and what were the FULL names of the four people who started it, one of which is obvious??

I know he had a test with McLaren in the MP4-19 in 2004 at Silverstone, so I would guess it was that?

Thanks Scott,
A nice easy one now and any Senna fan really SHOULD know this without having to surf the 'net??
What was the name of the Brazilian comic book character that Ayrton Senna helped to create with Rogerio and Ridaut, which was based on his own image AND what does the name of the character mean when translated into English?

Correct TH, well done mate!!
Apparently, the Senninha character is STILL very popular in Brazil even to this day - 18 years after the great man died - which is surely testament to the great esteem in which he is held by fellow Brazilians (and indeed the rest of the world)!!
Your go TH??

Hi Karl,
I was thinking Stirling Moss, born 17/9/1929 who started 66 races, but I thought his last F1 race was at Goodwood in '62 where he had his terrible career ending accident and I can't find reference to a last race of his in Berne, Switzerland, so maybe it isn't him?
The 17/9/? bit immediately got me thinking about Moss as it is my birthday which I know I share with both Stirling Moss and Damon Hill, who is a year younger than me but raced in something like 120 races so it can't be him!!
