Question 11
Amazingly, no German owned team has ever won the Formula One Constructors' Championship. What was the last German engine supplier to win the World Championship?
A: Porsche, B: Mercedes, C: BMW, D: Audi
Answer: B: Mercedes, as McLaren-Mercedes in 1998. Before then, in 1984 and 1985, McLaren-TAG-Porsche won the title. Amazing to think that one of the best car production companies in the world has never won the F1 Constructors' Championship. However, this was due to the Mercedes boycott of Motor Sport after the Le Mans disaster, in 1955.
