Easy F1 question.
Name the team that won both driver and constructor titles in it's first and only year of existence?

Brawn GP, Now Mercedes GP, previously Honda F1, previously British American Racing (or Brackley Auto Recovery as they were known in the Silverstone area) set up by Craig Pollock and Jacques Villeneuve by purchasing Tyrrell Racing. So really as a team you could say they had been around continuously since 1958 (1968 in F1), but admittedly it was their first and only year under the name Brawn.

So I was right. You asked "when were the Olympics not held in a leap year". 1944 was a leap year and they were not held.

Did you mean to ask "when were the Olympics held but it was not a leap year"?
