The first Indy 500 winner that drove in a Formula One race (other than the Indy 500 which was considered an F-1 race between 1950-1960) was Rodger Ward of the United States, the 1959 and 1962 Indy 500 winner, who drove in the 1959 United States Grand Prix.

The first winner that drove full time in Formula One was Jim Clark of Scotland, the 1965 Indy 500 champion.
