Yes, he is both the last driver who won first in F1 and then Indy. He is also the last F1 champion to win the title and also later win Indy.
Now, who is the last driver to win Indy and then become F1 champion?"Old roats am jake mit goats."

Oh man, I got this one! Eddie Cheever! Too easy.

Before, after or either way? This one I'll probably miss, if I do it the honest way without help. I'll give it a shot though: Jim Clarke, Mario Andretti, Emerson Fittipaldi, Jacques Villeneuve and Juan Pablo Montoya. I want to say Mark Donohue, but I can't remember if he ever won an F1 race.

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."Old roats am jake mit goats."
