    Not bad. You only missed a few. Graham Hill was another Indy winner.

    The others you missed were Bill Vukovich, Tony Ruttman, Pat Flaherty, Sam Hanks, Jimmy Bryan , Roger Ward and Jim Rathman. It was kind of a trick question. The last drivers named were Indy winners when Indy counted for the world championship, so they won in both categories.

    No Starter, they won in the WC round run for Indycars but not F1 which was a different spec! So back to your original question it should be 'also won a round of the WDC' not a win in F1 (#pedantic smartarse)
    Kris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!

    You are correct. Though since WDC was/is essentially F1 then "#pedantic smartarse" does apply. And as a PS myself I instantly recognized it.

    Well with PS rules in place, and with same spec being noted; I'm gonna throw in Jimmy Murphy w/his Duesenberg.

    - 1921 French GP

    - 1922 Indianapolis 500

    Same car, same specs. Hope that works. Yeah I know... still not F1

    I should have gotten Graham Hill. Darn it!

    As for the others... well played, sir. Well played.
