Argentina 59, because many drivers shared cars?

I wasn't thinking that deeply about it, because I suppose most GP in the 50s offered half-points for shared drives.

I was thinking more about entire top 6 receiving half points due to <75% race distance completed.

Ok, thought might be what you meant, so I'll guess at Montjuich 1975, Stommelen winning?

Stommelen couldn't be the one who got half points for winning, because he was the one who ended in the crowd.
Jochen Mass was awarded the win.

Yes your right sorry, just got forgetful/Confused because he was leading at the time of his crash.

Who was the first guy to achieve pole position and track record on his Formula 1 debut?

(Not counting F1's inaugural race in 1950, of course)

Jacques Villeneuve ?

Carlos Reutemann?

Nope, none of both

Hint: 10 years later he would become F1 world champion (His single F1 championship)

Andretti ?

Only other person to get pole on his debut yes?

And "Technically" didn't he qualify at Monza (8th quickest or something?) But then flew back to the US with Bobby Unser to race in the Hoosier 100, But was told if they returned both wouldn't be allowed to race as were not allowed to compete in 2 races under 24hrs

Yes Andretti

Before he commited full time to F1, he was offered a ride in the US GP at Watkins Glen in 1968 for Lotus (Champman had met him at the Indy500 the previous years and was very impressed), and on that first appearence he broke the record and got pole, completely annoying Jackie Stewart from which he stole it

Then maybe you know who is the only F1 world champion who has a twin brother?

I know too.... Sometimes his twin would fill in for photo shoots if he was busy elsewhere!!

Mario has a twin brother who I have met. Can't remember which of the current batch of Andretti boys are his son.

When they were young, not any more. They look very different now (and when I met them when Mario was in his 40s).

Stewart hated ovals and Indy in particular, they were never safe enough

All the continent or just the US?
