With Ryō Hirakawa set to appear for Haas in FP1 this weekend, has any driver ever driven for three separate teams, with three separate engine suppliers, in their first three official sessions? Even if the post-season test last year is counted as an official session, the point still stands.

Found another one:

Emerson Fittipaldi (first F1 race in 1970) raced in 2014 6 Hours of Sao Paulo with Brendon Hartley (last F1 race in 2018). So that's 48 years.

 

You can then extent from Jack Brabham to Fittipaldi to Hartley and get 63 years.

Henri Pescarolo first F1 race 1968 raced at Le Mans 1991 against Michael Schumacher who raced against Fernando Alonso 2025 which is 57 years.

When I was checking who Pescarolo has raced against I forgot Schumacher raced at Le Mans in 1991

Now, that's a crazy stat that I think about it.

Chiron and Louis Wagner raced against each other, in the 1927 Formula Libre race at Montlhery. Wagner's first "Grand Prix-equivalent" race attempt was the 1904 Gordon Bennett Cup, but he failed to qualify; he won the Cup in 1906.

Excellent, I actually started my draft list with Wagner but replaced him with Nazzaro, which was my undoing.

Alonso has raced Le Mans, Daytona and Indy500 - I am sure he will be in these types of links for decades to come.

His motivations have been discussed in various parts of the forum, but I think we know the truth. He just races for mentions in the crazy statistics thread.

For a while there was a chance to happen in Bahrain, so I had to check if it had happened before. And yes, it had.

 

The race which had safety car period but no retirements happened in China 2016. IIRC Daniel Ricciardo's puncture caused some debris to be on the track, therefore the SC.
