Now in its fourth year The Williams Database Winter Challenge is a bit of fun for the off-season. For 14 weeks between the 2020 and 2021 F1 seasons there will be 14 Williams related questions for you to answer.

Questions will be posted on Twitter (@williamsdbf1) at midnight GMT every Wednesday – you have 24 hours to DM you answer so no need to rush. Everyone that gives the correct answer with 24 hours of it positing will get 10 points. The person with the most points at the end of the 14 weeks will win. If more than one person has the same number of points at the end there will be a quick fire tie-break round.

So that means to be in with a chance you have to answer as many questions as you can over the 14 weeks but you don’t need to rush to answer.

What you can win

This year I have raised the Williams Database vaults to put together a prize consisting of the Williams Renault Grand Prix Championship board game and three books. The Pits books are both signed by Jim Bamber.

Week 8

Rosberg was disqualified for a push start in the pits, after his car momentarily caught fire during refueling.
