Champions?
How many drivers besides JV have won the CART championship, Indy 500 and F1 title, and are still young and capable enough to keep challenging?

Hasn't Montoya done...oh wait I forgot he blew it this year didn't he?
 Sorry couldn't resist. JV would have taken the title this year were he in a Williams!

Sad indeed.

But Button would have beaten JV to it had they been team mates at Williams this year

On topic this is a bit like the traditional triple that only Graham Hill has done. Le Mans, The 500 and F1 (or Monaco). But includes the still being active, which makes it even harder.

It'll never happen again because nowadays drivers aren't allowed to compete in other categories without owner's permission. So a driver has to retire from F1 to compete in any other top flight championship.

Two other drivers have won the F1 title, CART title and the Indy 500: Emerson Fittipaldi and Mario Andretti.
Mansell came close, but didn't quite manage it and I guess Monotoya could quite conceivably do it (pretty impressive winning the Indy 500 in a one off appearance in the IRL. |
