Sam C's BMWF1Talk Quiz

Are you aware that the colour of Ferrari's race car is red? If so, you officially qualify to try out this wonderful quiz made by none other than our very own BMWF1Talk superstar moderator, Sam C! Read on to check out the quiz questions!
You may know Sam from the "McLaren Fans" forum and our very own "BMWF1Talk" forum. This is because he moderates those two forums. However, he also makes appearances on other SportNetwork forums, simply because he is such a great person. Anyway, Sam has now conjured up a quiz so you can while away the lonely, empty period of time in your life which we like to call the off-season. Be you an F1 fanatic or a random surfer of the net, give this quiz a go!
Instructions: There are 4 sets of 5 questions: Technical Qs, 1950-1970 Qs, 1971-1991 Qs, 1992 - Present day Qs. Please email your answers with your name to sam@bmwf1talk.com. Please keep the subject as "BMWF1Talk Quiz Answers" - it makes life easier when sorting through the emails! If you are baffled by the mere concept of a quiz, or just aren't sure about something, again send an email to sam@bmwf1talk.com. Please keep the subject as "Quiz Help Needed!". Now, nobody's going to stop you from researching the answers on the internet. Not because we don't want to stop you, but because we can't. So, it's up to you - you can either win the game because you know F1 like the back of your hand, or you can win it because you have a high standard of googling skills. Your choice! There won't be any prizes for the quiz... just bragging rights! Sam will publish the results in a week. He will probably invent some kind of 'leader table' or 'scoreboard' so you can measure yourselves up against such knowledgeable greats as Sessions (who is my personal tip to win...) (having said that, he probably won't take part now) (oh dear). Should this quiz be successful, Sam will produce another series of questions in a week or so which we shall name "Sam C's 2nd BMWF1Talk Quiz". However, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Have fun!

This is the end of the quiz. The quiz ends here. I'm really sorry, but there is just no more of the quiz left - you have seen it all. No, we aren't hiding anything from you - the quiz really has finished. The quiz has ended. It is over.
Having said that, in a week's time Sam may have made a new quiz. Although the new quiz will have to have an ending too, it will help prolong your idealistic views that quizzes don't have endings.
