With most of the population and money too. Just like you would accept Britain, I feel like England is just used a lot interchangeably. Even though they technically mean different things.
That may be true, but the same situation is true for Holland and the Netherlands. As someone living in the Netherlands but outside Holland, I have to insist that the right names are used as to not create ignorance
Thanks for your feedback Luke. I agree that it should be United Kingdom, and not Great Britain (as the 'country' is indeed UK). Regarding the acceptance of 'England', I did it to cater for the misconception that it is a country, however I have now removed this.
England does, however, compete in international football as a country as does Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland which together make up GB/UK. Confusing?
Forgot India and South Korea as they were so chuffing boring. Didn't know there was ever one in Morocco until now! Will never forgive myself for forgetting Brazil though.
Yeah it's pretty weird because there were a San Marino and Luxembourg Grand Prix, but the thing is that San Marino was in Imola, but Imola is actually in Italy and the Luxembourg Grand Prix was held at the Nürburgring in Germany. The reason they were called like that is because the FIA had a rule that it wasn't allowed that one country had more than one race, so they just used the countries that were the closest to the circuits for the name of the Grand Prix and with Imola that's San Marino and with Nürburgring it is Luxembourg, but I can understand the confusion.
Just a related question, there was a Cuban grand prix although on researching it, it wasn't part of formula 1 despite Juan Manuel Fangio winning it and Sterling Moss winning it twice. It is of course famous for the kidnapping of Fangio. Does anyone know why F1 drivers were in it yet it was not part of F1?
Lots of different races have taken place with participation of Formula One drivers. Some labelled "Grand Prix", which just means Big Prize... The set F1 calendar is usually used for the World Championship races (also included in this quiz)
Missed 1, couldn't get Malaysia. Kept trying and thinking I am misspelling Luxembourg. Which, by the way, I am shocked Formula 1 hasn't made it to Luxembourg, super rich, french-speaking, nice backdrop...
Got all answers 😎, kinda surprised South America has the same amount of countries as Africa (yh yh ik Africa has a lot of countries but still there have been so many drivers from different nation of South America which we can't say likewise for afeica)....
I've heard the Swiss Grand Prix was held in France... Has there been a case of the Swiss or another Grand Prix actually being held on Swiss soil? Otherwise I argue the answer should be removed.
EDIT: Apparently there was a Swiss Grand Prix on Swiss soil between 1950-1954, near Zürich
