Grand Prix Rejects

Here's a challenge for you, how many drivers do you know who only got one trip to the podium, you know these forgotten 2nd or 3rd places in a race of attrition. I'll get us started:

Eric Bernard (Germany 94)
Takuma Sato (USA 04)
Aguri Suzuki (Japan 90)

tiago monteiro

Gianni Morbidelli (Australia 95)
Mauricio Gugelmin (Brazil 89)
Roberto Moreno (Japan 90)

I can throw the complete list of drivers who achieved this, but it´s more interesting if people tries to remember

Nelson Piquet Jr
Narahin Karthikeyan

Wrong; Monteiro got the podium place at Indianapolis behind Schumacher and Barrichello.

Joakim Bonnier. Despite an F1 career lasting from the mid-50s to the early 70s, his win in the 1959 Dutch GP was his only podium finish. (Do one-off race wins count?)

Also, off the top of my head I can recall Reine Wisell, Ludovico Scarfiotti (I think his win was his only podium, anyway) and the Onyx team courtesy of Stefan Johansson.

Yes, since a win is also a podium, but they can't have had another podium.
However, this is ONLY for drivers, so Onyx doesn't count

For UK users, you can see Eric Bernard's podium here and the massive celebrations that follow
