That's not quite a fact now, is it? @Antonov has a thread dedicated to that kind of stuff.

@Kals Ithought this might be classed as history repeating, or a trait with British multi WDC's. (Move it to Antonov's thread if you think it off topic and taking from theis threads purpose) if you dont agree

.... and fashion sense / taste. Is this his homage to Jackie Stewart suit?
As worn to some celeb dinner that he attended (with Donatella Versace, who looks old enough to be his Mother plus some in tow) I think it was the British Fashion awards! Looks like he pinched a strip of her dress for the hanky hanging out of his pocket!

The Dijon Grand Prix was run over 79 laps, that is one more than the Monaco GP.

Only once (1984) was Dijon run over 79 laps, after it was slightly extended. Previous events were 80 laps.
Monaco has also been varied in laps run, from 75 to 100 laps.

When introduced in 1985 the Australian GP at Adelaide was run to 82 laps, making it the most laps of any circuit during an F1 season. It was then reduced to 81 laps. It holds the record for the least number of laps run to declare a race result, 14 laps completed in 1991.

Not sure if I'm reading this correctly, but as stated above, the Monaco GP ran to 100 laps in the past. Or did I just misunderstand?

I meant in that given season, not throughout the history of F1.
