Afaik it was Hamilton. He came from McLaren and stopped at the McLaren stall and after realizing he was at the wrong stall he drove straight to the Mercedes stall.

Right, I'll try my hand at this. Cheever not allowed to answer, as he's Swedish.
Many think that Denny Hulme won the first Swedish GP in 1973. However, the Swedish GP was held as early as 1961, up until 1963.
Who won these three races (three different drivers) and at which circuit was it held? Bonus kudos for the name of the race.

Can I answer now, if no one else knows the answer?

Stirling Moss won the first Swedish GP - or "Kanonloppet" (Canon Ball Race) - at Karlskoga Motorstadion (aka Gelleråsen) in 1961. Richie Ginther won it in 1962, and Jack Brabham won the final F1 race there in 1963. Later on, Kanonloppet was held for F2 and sportscars, until it faded away in the 1970's. It was revived with STCC in the late 90's. It will be held this upcoming weekend.

Well done. Perhaps a bit too Swedish for this place.

I don't quite understand this nonsense: the Swedish GP was first held in 1955 at Kristianstad as a Sports car race, and also in 1956 and '57. The winners were Fangio (Mercedes-Benz), Trintignant/Hill (Ferrari) and Behra/Moss (Maserati), respectively. The Kanonloppet was, well, the Kanonloppet ("Cannon Race", not "Canon Ball Race"), and not the Swedish GP, which is (I believe) called Sveriges Grand Prix in Swedish.

Right you are. Kanonloppet was the first proper F1 race in Sweden though. The F2 race was called Sveriges Grand Prix in 1967.Michael Ferner wrote:I don't quite understand this nonsense: the Swedish GP was first held in 1955 at Kristianstad as a Sports car race, and also in 1956 and '57.

What did they change about the track after the 1970 disaster then?

Not counting the Nascar Truck Series (Kimi), I guess.
I know Slim Borgudd did, and became champion, but a few starts for ATS and one point hardly qualifies him as "Grand Prix Champion".

Yes, I should have been more specific, I meant this kind of truck racing!
So, yes, there was a driver who won the World Driver's Championship who had a go at this ^^^ kind of truck racing. Who was it?

Nelson Piquet? Brazil is big on truck racing!
Kimi Räikkönen did one NASCAR truck race when he had his F1 hiatus.
