When was the last time 4 different drivers in 4 different cars won the first 4 races?

2003. Coulthard, Raikkonen, Fisichella, Schumacher.

1983 saw 5: Piquet, Watson, Prost, Tambay, Rosberg

1977 had 4: Scheckter, Lauda, Reutemann, Andretti

1975 saw 5: Fittipaldi, Pace, Scheckter, Mass, Lauda

Other years with 4: 1974, 1972, 1970, 1962, 1961.

Other years with 5: 1967.

Including the Indy 500 in the 1950-60 world championship:

1960, 1959, 1956 all had 4.

1983 was the last time this happened. Infact, in 1983, it was 5 drivers from 5 different constructors that won the first 5 races.

Round 1: Nelson Piquet - Brabham

Round 2: John Watson - McLaren

Round 3: Alain Prost - Renault

Round 4: Patrick Tambay - Ferrari

Round 5: Keke Rosberg - Williams

2003 was the last time their was 4 different winners in the first 4 races but Kimi Raikkonen and David Coulthard won the first 2 races for the same constructor (McLaren) before Giancarlo Fisichella won the 3rd round with Jordan and Michael Schumacher won the 4th round with Ferrari.

great right? the others answered it already, but man, what a season we´re having so far. i too see lotus as potential winners as well. i hope the next races are won by:

webber

schumi

raikkonen

hamilton

perez

oops, did i forget about massa? nope. sorry, he lacks the pace he had in 2008. this is his last year in f1.

on another note, i thought i´d never say it, but doesn´t the (lack of) performance of petrov make you long for trulli?

LOL trust rosbif to get it. You have to wonder how he looks stuff like that up so fast.

To add to the answers, 1982 would have been 6 different drivers in the first 6 races had Piquet not been disqualified in Brazil.

2003, like they said on TV on Sunday.

Coulthard in Australia, Raikkonen in Malaysia, Fisichella in Brazil (thanks to Bridgestone and red flags), and Michael Schumacher in San Marino
