How the F1 drivers debut timeline game works

In this deck you sort Formula One Grand Prix winners by the year of their first season in the championship. Each card shows the driver's nationality under the name. One driver begins on the timeline with their debut year showing. For each new card, pick a gap among the drivers already placed. Nail the gap and the year is revealed; a wrong one moves the driver to the right place and costs one of three lives.

The list runs from the championship's founding seasons through to drivers still racing, so expect plenty of close calls between contemporaries. A debut is not a breakthrough: many winners spent years in midfield cars before their first victory, and some champions arrived much earlier than their title runs suggest. Nationality narrows things only a little, since nearly every era had its share of British, Italian and French drivers.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
