I wondered about Mike Hawthorn. But he was 4th in the championship in 1952
Yep Jackie Stewart is the one, 3rd in the 1965 championship plus a win in ItalyQuote:

Damon Hill's season in 1993 doesnt really count as a rookie season even though some people do due to the amount of times he failed to qualify his Brabham in 1992, then again he managed to qualify it twice and got a solid 11th place in Hungary that year
Surely the best rookie year was by Nino Farina who won the World Championship in his first year?
True, but he was already 44, bit old for a rookie!Quote:

Clue: people from this team made up a part of the initial core of Williams GPE.
