Plus - one more driver who has not been mentioned...... |
Im not sure if this meets the criteria of the question, but at the 1964 USGP Jim Clark started the race in Lotus #1. Mike Spence in Lotus #2. Clark suffered a problem during the race. Chapman pitted Clark and Spence with Clark taking over Spence's #2 and rejoining.
After repairs Spence rejoined the race running Clark's #1 car. Clark finished the race 7th in the #2. (Actually he didn't quite get to the end but was classified 7th.)
Spence as mentioned drove the #1 car but it only lasted for another few laps before retiring.
None the less Mike Spence did drive the #1 at the USGP in the race and was not a WDC. Does that count?
