2004 French GP Trivia Quiz

By Geoff Collins

Last year's quiz

Magny Cours was the first circuit where I ever drove a single-seater, so perhaps I'm fonder of it than most people. It also has very good facilities and is not overpriced. Just like Silverstone in fact... But, enough Bernie-style whingeing, it's time to find out how much you know about the French GP.

Ferrari
McLaren
Williams
