A long time ago, in the midst of 2008, we spotted that the BBC quiz show Mastermind had featured someone with a specialist subject of Formula One. We were quite excited by the prospect of a quiz, and enjoyed reliving the questions for you all here on the site. Back then it was F1 2000-2007.

Imagine our delight, then, when my mother-in-law let us know that there were to be F1 related questions on tonight's Mastermind episode. We eagerly tuned in, but I must admit to being disappointed at the subject - F1 1960 to 1980 - not exactly my strong point.

However, I have gathered together the questions here for you to attempt, and the answers are hidden alongside - highlight to reveal. Let us know how you do in the comments, but try not to spoil the answers for anyone!
