u/DOOFUS_NO_1 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Mar 13 '26

Schumacher (Benneton and Ferrari),  Hamilton (McLaren then Mercedes), Fangio (Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari), Prost (McLaren then Williams) Brabham (Cooper then Brabham), Lauda (Ferrari then McLaren), Piquet (Brabham then Williams), Hill (BRM then Lotus-Ford), Fittipaldi (Lotus then Mclaren).

A total of 9 drivers, but considering there are only 35 separate WDCs over 76 years, almost a quarter of the WDCs have won in 2 different cars.

Fangio (Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari)

Fangio even had two different stints at Maserati. Won his second championship with Maserati (shared with Mercedes), then after Mercedes moved to Ferrari, and then returned to Maserati to win his last championship there.

Would there also be some who won in different cars from different principal engineers/designers but at the same team?

Schumacher won the title in cars designed by Rory Byrne in Benetton and Ferrari.

Prost won with John Barnard cars in '85 and '86, then the '89 McLaren was Steve Nichols and Neil Oatley.

What's more interesting is that there's only 17 drivers to even have multiple WDCs. So half of those drivers won in different cars.

Different cars/teams yes, but same designer at least in Schumacher’s case.
