You’re welcome

Today’s in 3. First guess only left two possibilities, but went for the wrong one initially.

[DeejRC]

In 1 today given it’s my baseline first name

Same here, woo hoo!

[thegreenhell]

In 2 for me, because I always start with his first F1 teammate.

Sounds like your first guess was the same as mine.

Three for me. I usually start with Alexander Albon as his race number is sort of in the middle and a lot of drivers share 0 wins.

Fail this morning.

Agree with this, Albon is a good first choice. Not only “middling” number and non-winner but also debuted in 2019 so nicely in the middle of the 2014-2024 year range. So, with luck, you exclude a lot of drivers straight off.

Delayed post as didn’t want to toss in a spoiler for yesterday’s answer of Verstappen. IMHO Max is not a good first choice as only excludes Hamilton on number of wins, de Vries on nationality, excludes no race numbers as he is no 1 and debuted in 2015 so only excludes 2014 racers.

This is an observation rather than a criticism. I’m hopeless at this game and invariably lose and then spend the rest of the day kicking myself that I had forgotten that Andre Lotterer (or whoever) once drove in F1.

Given my vintage I’d do better with Ascaridle if someone would kindly invent it. However, with over 800 driver choices and scores of constructors it would need to a 30 liner.

Example:

Nationality : UK
Car : Connaught.
Age : 93.
Debut: 1958.
Wins : 0
Car No. : 12.

Who am I ??

Max is in there as number 33 as that's his permanent race number.

I got today's in two
