It's not Takuma :)


Hint:
3 of the drivers above have all won races by using a Ford engine, in F1, WRC & CART / CCWS respectively.

One of the drivers was very close to score points in a Minardi-Ford.

One of the drivers has absolutely no connections to Ford whatsoever, as far as I know.

Is the top one then Shinji Nakano?

I'm going to guess 2 is Fernando Alonso, but I'm likely wrong.

A strange combination of Adrian Sutil and Roy Orbison... which could never have happened in reality.

That picture indeed reminded me of Adrian Sutil and Jean-Marie Balestre. I know he's not a driver but those shades and that broad face remind me of him.

Exactly.

It makes me a bit sad to see how the drivers in F1 step out into other kinds of cars less and less....here's the full list of competitive non-junior formula car experience the f1 drivers have:

Kamui: One sports car season
Kimi: Two partial seasons of WRC + some other select rally races, two races in lower levels of Nascar
Romain: One partial season of sports cars
Jenson: One sports car race, 24 hours of Spa - 15 years back
Adrian: One race in Japanese Super GT
Felipe: A few races in ETCC

...that's it.

1960's are laughing at this homogenous crop of junior formula products.

Pretty sure Robert Kubica's accident in 2011 had something to do with that...

True about the Kubica accident, and understandable even if I didn't agree with the "race only in F1" policy - but the record speaks about the background of the drivers, too. No more former DTM or IndyCar champs, no more ex sportscar drivers; all current drivers debuted in F1 straight from the junior formula ladder.

OK. Nobody answered this question after my hint, so I'll give the correct answer.

It's John Miles, Rindt's team-mate in 1969-1970.
