I seem to remember one of the Lotus engineers in an interview saying that his tyres were still reasonable, but he got onto the marbles and lost tyre temp for a couple of laps. I'll have to see if I can dig up the quote.

14/25

.....but I got Q21 spot on which surely deserves a 10 point bonus

the answer is correct. a reasonable tyre will not lose grip by making contact with the marbles.

the lotus team anticipated 2 stop, and pit kimi for used medium, expect him to come in again, but they change their strategy, leaving kimi running half of the race distance on that used medium. If they switch to 1 stopper earlier, they could've pitted him for fresh medium.

One of the many Lotus 's blunder strategies in this season.

Kimi says "I ran out of grip in the tyres as they faded"

Does "Kermit" count as an answer for 11?

18/25 Not bad.

Part 2 - http://www1.skysports.com/formula-1/new ... -Questions

26 q's, numbered 25 -50, so it means there are 2 question 25's - me thinks sky messed up here. anyway, very easy 2nd part, I got 23/26, so overall got 38/51.

22/26

39/51 in total.

_________________

22/26 for part two, so a combined 42/51 for me

Sky had 26 questions for second part, fail.

I got 17/25, okay.

The answer to 13 is wrong.

Sky now appear to have realised their mistake, the quiz is now 50 q's long. The '2nd' question 25 is not on there now. So actually got 22/25, and 37/50

Part 2 Questions.

Did remarkably well, but I thought this was the easiest quiz of the season.

22/25 + 23/25 = 45/50
