The Forgotten Ones (A Thread about Forgotten Drivers)

This is a thread about drivers that were simply forgotten. I will start with Sebastien Bourdais, do you guys remember him ? :) Ya, he was that 4 time Champ Car World Series champion that wanted to take Toro Rosso to court for cutting him mid-season. He dominated Champ series and was signed by Toro R...

To me, this has always been one of the odd quirks of Formula One. But it has been many years since just one car and driver entered a race on their own.
