NOTE: The quiz moves as the question follows a picture. Try & see how many bullzye do you hit !...

Q. Well if the talk of the F1 tinsel- ville is Lewis Hamilton, who recently won the Canadian GP, then this person above, is left no behind. In 2001 Sauber gave him his maiden chance as a rookie along with Kimi Raikkonen. He was the only flawless driver in 2007 Monaco GP, next to Hamilton. Oops!... I think, I almost uttered the answer.

Q. The easiest one. No hints, no clues. The close-up, the helmet & the impression, c’mon guys. Nail it.

Q. The diver in the picture above a crossover race winner, who has victories in Formula One cars, Champcars, IndyCars, Grand-Am Prototype cars and NASCAR stock cars. He was also famous for being a hot head in F1 during his time (2001-06). His exit from McLaren brought in Alonso.

Q. The surname of this F1 driver above coincides to one of the famous racetracks of F1, which appears every year in F1 calendar. The driver has a “Jr.” next to his name as his father also carries the same name. His father also was an F1 driver with only 2 active years between 1981-83. His father began & ended his F1 career on the same track itself. It was the same track about which the question mentions earlier.

Q. This place or rather the track stands as a similarity between Alonso & Karthikeyan. The similarity, if stated would rather push you very close to the answer. Try to hit a “HOME RUN”.

Q. This year in his second race for McLaren, Fernando secured the team's first win since 2005 with a commanding drive at this circuit. Now that must be an easy task. Fernando got into McLaren recently.

Q. Giancarlo Fisichella holds the record of fastest lap on this track of 1 ’15.641 (1 min 15.641 secs). This place also happens to be the home track of a world champion. Which place or track is this?

Q. The place mentioned above is one of the coveted wishes of any F1 driver. Considered to be the most difficult among all F1 racetracks, this circuit is more often called a street or even a lane. What makes it difficult is that it is so narrow that there are only some countable points where one can think of overtaking. Which place is this?
