Team driver starting on pole (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
santa claus
This clue could be a double definition.
'team driver' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'starting on pole' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for santa claus that I've seen before include "St. Nicholas" , "A Derby winner" , "Father Christmas" , "stocking filler - with 6 dn" , "What puts this seasonal character" .)
