1. This driver qualified for the front row on his debut in Formula 1, but died in a crash during practice the following year.
2. This driver was Jackie Stewart's teammate at Tyrrell; he was killed during qualifying while attempting to take pole position from Ronnie Peterson.

4. He died in a sports car race at Spa, hitting the Eau Rouge barriers while battling Jacky Ickx
5. This New Zealand driver's name was still prominent in F1 at the start of the 21st century; until 2003, he held the record as youngest driver to win a race (in 1959). He died testing a car in 1970.
6. This British driver won three Grands Prix for Ferrari before his death in a German Grand Prix.
7. This driver was on the verge of winning the World Championship, when he died in an horrific crash which also killed fifteen spectators.

I actually wasn't in the zone for doing the quiz but also felt guilty for not doing it, so I actually got most of the questions from another source. Usually I will do a fair bit of research and then phrase the questions. :oops: :oops: Consequently I did run with the topic I found. :oops:
