Need a little help soving a quiz

Punky 14 March 2005 15:59:23
 A friend of mine has posted a Formula 1 quiz on his weblog (log is in Dutch)
and challanged me to find the answers. After half a day of googleing for
answers I found 3 out of 10, so I thought mayby I could pick your brains for
some more answers. Hope you can (and are willing to) help me out.
These are the questions:
1. Who was the last to win a race with the engine in the front of the car
and when was this?
2. When did Formula 1 have the biggest startgrid ever and how big was it?
3. Who had the biggest gap in points at the end of a championship when
winning it and in what year was that?
4. Who had the highest top speed and when and where did he achieve that?
5. Who had an all podium season and when was it?
6. Who became champion with the smalles margin and when was it?
7. Who won what race in which season with te worst starting position?

I would be very very gratefull for your help, as I don't like loosing face
;)

Give us the URL, then. I can cope with Dutch.

Otherwise, what prize do we get a share of?

I hereby accept being lectured about the use of google, looks like I asked
the wrong questions.
Thank you for your help

You are Good!!!! Thanks for all the answers etc.
I appreciated the F1 info.

I am impressed with the 10 minutes! Can you share
some with us others, to help us with searching?

I use google some, but you are clearly well practiced
and good at the search ideas.
I take it you pay and subscribe to Atlas?
(since that is source for a fair number of answers)

1. I note some of your search results were for "f1",
and others were "formula 1", others "Formula One"
Do you just try variations until you get answer?

2. What general ideas helps you in interpreting
"biggest gap", to "widest margin"? etc. etc.?

3. Any quick general pointers that you will share?

I want to thank you all for helping me out. I got all but one question
correct (misread the largest starting grid answer).
would like to know your secret though, how do you know what query to enter
into google?
