How the F1 world champions timeline works
You're lining up Formula One world champions by the season they took their first title. Under each driver's name sits the team they won it with. The game opens with one champion already placed and their year visible. For each new driver, choose a gap among the champions already down. Get it right and the year appears; get it wrong and the driver slides into the correct place anyway, at the cost of one of three lives.
The grid stretches from the front-engined cars of the championship's opening seasons to the hybrid era. Drivers with several crowns count only for the first, which catches people out when a champion's best-known titles came later. Team names are a decent clue but a slippery one: several constructors produced champions in very different periods, and a name you link with one era may have carried a winner in another.
