I'm just spitballing here, would it be Denny Hulme?
 
You're really narrowing it down, so I'm going to guess Mika Hakkinen.

What is it
 
It was on bringatrailer.com . The site used to be all projects...thus the name. Now they sell a dozen or so cars every day.

OK, time for my question - which country has had the most F1 World Championship entrants (just to exclude non-championship events screwing this up), but hasn't had any Grand Prix winners?

To be clear: that's "had the most F1 WC entrants without having any GP winners"?
 
Only 3 of those 17 have actually climbed on the podium (Aguri Suzuki, Takuma Sato and Kamui Kobayashi) with Kobayashi being the most successful.
 
Kobayashi never had a top ride, if he would have got one he would have won. (Obviously this is a discussion for another time but that is how I feel)
 
Following on from a post I made in the anomalous stats thread,

Has anyone had more consecutive retirements at the same Grand Prix than Rubens Barrichello's nine consecutive DNFs in Brazil?

My own limited research into the matter shows that Andrea de Cesaris had 7 consecutive DNFs in Brazil too and that both Derek Warwick and Jean Alesi had 6 consecutive DNFs in Australia.

Mclaren model is incorrect
 
I can't remember his name but the first winner of the 1894 Paris-Rouen race went on to murder someone. His name was something like Arnaud Lamaite.

It's not that is it?
