    If you count '93 as his rookie season, Damon Hill would be a good suspect!
    May the forza be with you

    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 Italy

    Mike Hawthorn was the best rookie before Sir Jackie with 2 podiums and 5th in the championship in 1952 and was also the best Non-Ferrari runner that year.

    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?
    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

    True, but he was already 44, bit old for a rookie!

    I was also surprised. I would guess that "Il Drake" thought that driving a competitive Ferrari and given the lack of progess by Copersucar, Emerson would have moved.

    Depends - it was not his first full season of formula one grand prix racing.

    Heres a juicy one:

    Ross Brawn was a mechanic decades ago - in which team did he experience winning a grand prix, for the first time, where and who won.

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