Question of the day

[zagatoes30]

Had to read the question twice as I was sure 4 drivers were classified but you are correct only 3 finished the race.

I will let it run for a while as I would have thought some one else would know this answer

Could have a punt as to which track - but as for what year and drivers.....
Remember a lot of carnage at a very wet Monaco a few years back.

You'll be on the right track, pun intended

If its the race i think it is then its Monaco in the mid 90s and it was very very wet. Coultard was one of the three that finished but i cant remember any more than that.

 

[zagatoes30]

It was the winners only GP win, I think Coultard was second and the other finisher was a Brit as well

Yes you are correct, also last GP win for the team involved. Another Brit, and hazard a guess at the year?

 

[daverichardson]

Olivier Panis won at Monaco after a lot of people conked out crashed etc.
It was his only GP win
Think that;s right, don't know his team though, or the precise year

 

[allandwf]

OK, his team were French, that should help . they also have a Maserati connection

 

[daverichardson]

Must be Ligier then?

 

[allandwf]

Correct, and it was 1996 . Coulthard and Herbert were the two Brits. Would you care to set the next question.

 

[daverichardson]

Ah well
According to the excellent 'From Our Own Correspondent' on Radio 4 recently, how many countries in the world still use some form of Capital Punishment?
Guesses please and the nearest one gets it, unless someone is bang on.

 

[Navcorr]

Not enough - is that close enough?

 

[daverichardson]

Maybe

 

[zagatoes30]

More than 50 but less than 100 ?

 

[spkennyuk]

Rough guess about 60 ish. Quite a few of the middle east and far east countries still have it plus USA and a few others dotted around.

 

[daverichardson]

Closest so far SPK, I will let it run until tea time ish

 

[BennyD]

73.

 

[Navcorr]

An old favourite - does Dom get close?

I think there are just under 200 countries in the world, and my guess is a 1/3rd of them , so 65...

Still exists in large swathes of Asia, Far East, Africa, and obviously the USA. However, I think in some countries it's been kept as a matter of law...
