The Mercedes F1 engines used by McLaren, Mercedes and Force India are built by Mercedes High Performance which was previously known as Ilmor prior to Mercedes total take over. Roger Penske was one of the main share holders in Ilmor at the time of the take over. Then there was also Ilmor Engineering – a separate US based sister company that designed the current Honda IRL engines.Quote:

Moss crashed the car in practice, he says because it had a central throttle as was usual on Italian racing cars at that time. What was unusual was that Moss and David Murray were still paid starting money by the organisers.

Perhaps a change of course for the next question: it is based on the BTCC.
In 1995, Alain Menu's championship chances ended when he was involved in collisions at both Snetterton races. Which driver collided with him on both occasions, why were officials unable to use tape from the on-board camera to analyse these crashes and what subsequent penalty was applied?
Who was the racing driver that was for the first three years and named the driver position he started on Top Gear: "The Stig"?
What is the connection to f1 of the "The Stag"?
Which team principle - and it was not Bernie during his multiple worlc championship winning days either - The championship should go to the driver with the largest number of victories and not the one wirth the most points"?
