Mike Thackwell -. 19 years and 182 days in 1980
The New Zealander was in 1980 loaned by Tyrrell to Arrows, which sought a replacement for the injured Jochen Mass.

Ricardo Rodriguez – 19 years and 208 days in 1961 <. br />
The Mexican was killed at the age of 20 in 1962, a year before he gave Ferrari a guest chair for the Italian Grand Prix, which he had to stop. Bad luck Rodriguez qualified for that race surprising second

Eddie Cheever -. 20 years and 53 days in 1978
