#1

Post by PTRACER »

I am a bit annoyed, I got 13 out of 14 and the one I could not remember at all drove 35 races and was one of their 2019 drivers.

.... and only one of them (Toro Rosso drivers) failed to score a point in F1. Despite doing nearly 30 GPs with them. :wink:

I'm really happy with my 10/14. Although I had to look up the spelling of some of the names.


Spolier!
Here's whom I missed:
Jean-Eric Vergne
Sebastien Buemi
Pierre Gasly

Well, I am the smart arse that got 14..... sadly two of those I 'remembered' didnt ever drive for STR! :haha: (So a 12/14)
I thought Klien was in the mix with Liuzzi alternating drives between RBR and STR. But it seems that was only Red Bull, and Klien was a never was at STR.
Neel Jani was a never was as well, although he was in the squad never drove for them.... maybe he got a Friday run, or was it third driver they called them back then? :dunno:

Jani certainly had Red Bull backing in Champ Car.

Klien would have been pre-RBR? Just Jag?

lien would have been pre-RBR? Just Jag?
Jani I checked and had 23 'races' listed with STR as third driver up to end 2006. He then went to Champcar in 2007

Klien was with Jag and then did near enough 2 seasons with Red Bull alongside DC, and got the best out of the shared seat with Liuzzi, where Liuzzi only got something like 3 races in early 2005 before going to STR in 2006.... Doorknobs replaced Klien for the final 3 races of 2006 and then Webber replaced Doorknobs.

The ONLY reason I know Klien was at RBR is because of the upside down moment he had at Hungary in 2005. Did he really do 2 seasons for the team?

I think Klien came with the Jaguar assets, being Austrian also may have been a part of him being there.
