Heres an odd Q for you...

[pwig]

How many F1 circuits still have a bloke running out on the track with the chequred flag?

I can only think of Monza at the mo..

Not an answer to your question but on the same subject can I vote for the best chequered flag man of all time - Glen Dix at the Adelaide GPs

I think Monza is the only one on the F1 calendar.

To continue the post above, the best starter of a race, when they used to use flags has to be Tex Hopkins who used to start the races at Watkins Glen.

And the worst was Louis Chiron at Monaco. A miracle he never got knocked over.

The worst must have been Pele (I think) who was looking the wrong way talking to someone as the schumacher brothers streaked across the line Not literally of of course!...
