Sample Questions

Name the driver announced with great fanfare by McLaren at Monza in 1992 to be their presumed replacement for Ayrton Senna for the 1993 season. That plan fell apart as Senna failed to secure a drive with Williams for 1993, and agreed to return to McLaren, on hefty race-by-race contracts, mere days before the season began. Having their budget drained by the Senna re-signing, McLaren offered little help to this driver in terms of testing and technical support, and after lackluster results he was fired with three races remaining in the season. Both this driver’s father, a former world champion, and Senna have since alleged that McLaren deliberately sabotaged his season so that they could justify replacing him with their much-cheaper test driver, for whom they wanted a 1993 drive all along. First and last name are required here.
