KevinPSX gets it.
And now, the abridged history of "The Swap"!
The last Pirelli winner was Nelson Piquet's Benetton. He won at Canada in 1991, on the last lap after Mansell accidently stalled his car at the hairpin. His team-mate was Roberto Moreno, who took over the No.2 Benetton seat after Nannini's helicopter accident.
Moreno got the boot when:
Eddie Jordan's new team had a driver in Bertrand Gachot, who sprayed a cab driver in London with mace during the off-season, and landed himself in jail as a result. Michael Schumacher drove for Jordan, and Flavio Briatore was so impressed that he duly signed Schuey from under Eddie's nose. Moreno went to Jordan, but was replaced by Zanardi, and for Adelaide, he drove for Minardi.
So Moreno is an interesting segue from my last question: He's the last driver to drive for three teams in a season.
But KevinPSX gets the next question.

Alessandro Nannini, who was the official winner of the 1989 Japanese GP, but whose career was abbreviated after a helicopter accident in 1990.
Is my guess.
Is my guess.
I believe that would be JEC with the right answer.
Nannini had a whopping 78 presences.
Forix for whatever reason has no mention of presences for Fagioli, but he only had 7 starts, so I'm pretty sure he's the correct answer (I didn't see anyone else with fewer than 12 presences).
Your turn, JEC.

This seems as good a time as any to move the thread back to the GTF in the hope you GTP guys will pop in too.
