On that basis, despite Fernando Alonso's impressive debut in the 2017 Indianapolis 500, there isn't a large enough sample size to consider him for the top 10, nor 1966 Indy 500 winner Graham Hill. Making an instant impression is rewarded, and so too is longevity. When considering the order of the list, F1 achievement isn't factored in - it's purely down to how successfully the driver made the transition to Indycar. The 1988 series champion and 1985 Indianapolis 500 winner Danny Sullivan is also ineligible, his Indycar debut in 1982 coming one year before his single F1 season at Tyrrell, while Juan Pablo Montoya and Sebastien Bourdais each won Indycar titles before moving to F1 and subsequently returning Stateside. Drivers must first have competed in F1 to be eligible for our list, which rules out 1993 McLaren driver Michael Andretti and his 1978 world champion father Mario.
