Mostly drawn from the archives of our photo partners XPB and Grand Prix Photo, every week from Tuesday we present a little piece of motorsport history. Tell us who you can recognise (Example: Jo Siffert, Monza, 1970) and join in the guessing game for the honour of it \u2013 there are no prizes to be won. Send your answer to: mathias.brunner@speedweek.com. The closing date for entries is midnight on Sunday of the current week.<\/p>\n
Entry is free of charge. The competition is open to anyone aged 18 or over. Employees of the participating companies are excluded. The judges\u2019 decision is final.<\/p>\n
Any data submitted as part of the quiz will be used solely for the purposes of running the competition and will not be passed on to third parties. Further information can be found in our privacy policy.<\/p>\n
For a change, the new puzzle is a little different, as we\u2019re looking for the World Cup race at which this trophy was awarded and would like to know which artist created it.<\/p>\n
Our clue for the last question was: \u2018The sparse crowd had something to look at in a well-known section of a well-known circuit.\u2019<\/p>\n
The correct answer from last time: the Dane Nicolas Kiesa on his first Grand Prix weekend, in 2003 with the Minardi-Cosworth at the Hockenheimring. The photo shows a spin during practice, as evidenced by the sparsely filled grandstand at the Motodrom. <\/p>\n
Kiesa, now 48 and from Copenhagen, became a multiple karting champion in the early 1990s \u2013 in Denmark and Scandinavia \u2013 and finished runner-up in the World Championship twice.<\/p>\n
His entry into motor racing: third overall in 1998 in the highly competitive British Formula Ford, followed by the championship title a year later. This led to a move up to Formula 3, in which the Dane competed in Germany and the UK. From there, he moved on to Formula 3000 (equivalent to today\u2019s Formula 2).<\/p>\n
In 2003, he won the F3000 race in Monaco and signed a contract with Minardi for several Formula 1 races. However, there was nothing to be gained with the car from the iconic Italian team; 11th place at Indianapolis was Nicolas\u2019s best result.<\/p>\n
In 2005, Kiesa became a test driver for Jordan, but he did not make any further Grand Prix appearances. His racing career petered out with appearances in endurance racing and as an Audi driver in the DTM.<\/p>\n
Nicolas Kiesa can still be seen in Formula 1 today, as a Grand Prix expert for his colleagues at Viaplay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mostly drawn from the archives of our photo partners XPB and Grand Prix Photo, every week from Tuesday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":939633,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,578,576,577,82],"class_list":["post-939632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=939632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939632\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/939633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=939632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=939632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=939632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
