Both times at Monza too, by even eerier coincidence.
It's possible somebody could match the 3 career wins at least - if they only had one good season but it just happened to be the one where they made the most of it and won the title, but I reckon you'd need at least three in that one season to do it. Short of another 1982, of course, when a variety of unlikely circumstances occurred in the same season.https://wordpress.com/stats/insights/stugrovesf1.wordpress.com

Well, talking of Monza (and straying even further from the subject of 'records', but never mind), another interesting feat concerns the 1967 Italian GP and its winning car. The Honda RA300 was in its first race; it won it, and only at the end of the very last lap did it lead across the line. It was never victorious again.

The Honda RA300 was built by Lola so it holds another record as the first win for a car built in one country for a company in another. In saying this I am taking Brabham and AAR Eagle as British as that's where the teams were based.
