Feeling brave with Q4 this morning @Mi-Amigo ?! Not sure if someone has calmed down from that yet...

[Mi-Amigo]

Thanks @gmarkj 

Not sure I was feeling brave but came across the question over the weekend and thought "why not? the regular quizzers like a challenge" 😀

[Cleoriff]

@Mi-Amigo  it's MAX, not VAX for q4.

@gmarkjNote the date. This was the year AFTER that damn fiasco. 🙄

Ah. My apologies!

[Mi-Amigo]

Apologies @Cleoriff and our quizzers.

Q4 should have read Max NOT Vax - but the date IS 2022.

No matter, I still haven't got over that particular final race result. Someone definitely didn't want the guy who led the race all the way to beat Schumachers record Pffft!!! 😖

I too almost went for the 2021 runner up in the F1 question, so I'm glad I read the question again before sending off my answers.
