Dead easy-
Formula 1 car powered by an Italian engine, driven by two world champions, designed by an englishman and had a 100% win record.
I know the answer to this but had to use google...Formula 1 car powered by an Italian engine, driven by two world champions, designed by an englishman and had a 100% win record.
Go ahead with the answer though, its straightforward enough, and on with the next question!!

Nope, but you're thinking along the right lines.
Ferrari 500, 1952 model, Nino Farina and Alberto Ascari, won every round of the WDCUnfortunately, Ascari attempted Indy in 1952 and retired from the race on lap 40, so he didn't get a 100% record that year. Indy was part of the F1 championship in those days (until 1960).
In 1950, neither of the leading cars attempted Indy at all - they didn't enter and they won every F1 championship race they entered, for a 100% win record.
That would be Fangio and Farina in their Alfa 158s.
Part of the clue was "in its first year". F1 started in 1950 (before and during that there were grand prix races, but these aren't F1).

Blimey.you're so right. I forgot Indy was part of the WDC in 1952. Piero Taruffi won the first GP with Ascari at Indy, so Farina didn't win all year. But he was a WC having won in 1950. And Ascari wasn't a WC at that point, so I'm wrong on a lot of counts. I'll get me coat.Unfortunately, Ascari attempted Indy in 1952 and retired from the race on lap 40, so he didn't get a 100% record that year.
