ex F1 drivers

[Nigel_O]

Without Googling every driver in the LeMans entry list, I reckon there's 15 ex-F1 drivers in this years' line-up (including a current F1 driver of course)

For those with deeper LM knowledge than me, is this a record?

[MrC986]

This weeks' Autosport magazine has a specific feature on it within the LM supplement.

Button
Petrov

Vergne

Vilander didn't make F1 (In fact i don't remember much of a single seater career at all)

I had no idea Andre Lotterer was a test driver for Jaguar F1.

I don't know where I got Toni Vilander from.

Wiki says he made it to GP2.

Yep test driver, then did a race in Caterham (or a lap of one anyway)

Sarrazin had a one off race with Minardi in Brazil ending in a spectacular shunt.

[Pericoloso]

Sarrazin was my other query, I know him more for rallying ,couldn't decide on Bruni without looking him up.

No,don't think so,especially as his name is Wilander.
His podium at the Wimbledon All stars Van Bangers race in 2002 was his only motorsport .
