This list includes every driver to win a race in the F1 World Championship from the start in 1950 to the end of the 2023 season. The Indianapolis 500 was considered part of the F1 World Championship until 1960 and 10 drivers scored their first F1 wins in the Indy 500. None of them won again in F1.
Shared drives were allowed in the early years of the championship, and all three of the shared wins in championship races involved a debut winner: for Luigi Musso and Luigi Fagioli it was their only experience of the top step of the podium, but Tony Brooks went on to win two more Grand Prix races.
Ferrari, predictably, has the most debut wins with 17 from Froilan Gonzalez in 1951 to Carlos Sainz in 2022.
Several years have seen more than one rookie win. The best year for rookies was the crazy 1982 season when five new winners (Patrese, Tambay, de Angelis, Rosberg and Alboreto) were added to the list. The decade with the most was the 1950s, with 24.
The biggest gap between rookie wins was the 1043 days between Nannini's win in 1989 and Michael Schumacher's in 1992 (both for Benetton). The decade with the fewest new winners was the 2010s with six.
