Grand Prix Rejects

giraurd wrote: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.

And Max Chilton also was only 16 years old when he took part in that race, making him one of the youngest, possibly the youngest LMP1 driver ever.

Rob has a corner at Zandvoort named after him but I don't know about the other.

As for the drivers.. at least:

Rosberg
Mansell
Prost
Lauda
Alboreto
Senna
de Angelis
Piquet
Patrese
Tambay
Laffite

Maybe even Alan Jones?

That is true, but not the answer I'm looking for.

I think Alan Jones won for Shadow in 1977 at Austria, so at least Lauda's last drive for Ferrari at USA should be one. With race winners:

Jones
Lauda
Scheckter
Mass
Hunt
Depailler
Fittipaldi
Reggazoni
Reutemann
Andretti
Petterson
Nilsson
Probably Laffite as 13th guy

It's the only other possibility I can think of, but I'm unsure if it even were only two races between Jones winning and Lauda signing off

They only ran in their home countries? Given that Slotemaker never qualified for a F1 race, I don't know...

Italy '79 then one of them? The other 'final' race there was for Lauda. Although I'm unsure if there were other race winners signing off that year. Yeah, Depailler, but he was replaced by another race winner , Ickx

Jones
Mass
Ickx
Brambilla
Scheckter
Depailler
Regazzoni
