Between you, you have most of them.




I'm not sure that Fangio won the first race for Lancia...didn't Ascari win a race for them, then Fangio won the 1956 championship in the re-engineered Lancia Ferrari( which was by then very much a Ferrari)with a very gracious move from Peter Collins?

[ADEuk]

4: Fangio, Farina, Fittipaldi ?

I may have misunderstood the question; Fangio won HIS debut in the Lancia.
