12 of 13 - I missed site of most wins. The question was "where is his winter home."

His wife used to be Frenzen's girlfriend when they were teammates together at Sauber-Mercedes. Schuey stole her!

12/13. I missed the Winter home question, too.

I knew the correct NUMBER of teams MS had been with in F1 so far, but I couldn't remember the name of the first team. Now it's really bugging me. Was it Lotus, or Jordan?

Jordan - the Spa race in 1991.

This was the first incidence of shady dealings from MS. Jordan didn't want to let him run without an iron-clad contract. MS said he would sign for Jordan for long term - Jordan sent over all of the paperwork, let him race at Spa and then MS signed for Bennetton. In the old days F1 was conducted on the basis of a handshake, but now as with everything else times have changed. Although, Eccelstone still does a lot of business this way - it's made the nature of all of the TV deals he's set up for F1 in the last several years very hard for third parties to evaluate.

Cheers, BT
