And Graham Hill’s the only driver to do it. None of his victories was in a McLaren.

Bruce Almighty won 2 out of 3, neither in one of his own cars.

Bruce is however one of three drivers ever to win an F1 race in a car of his own construction. Jack Brabham and Dan Gurn ey are the others.

Brabham is - and I expect will remain - the only per so n ever to win the F1 world drivers championship in his own car (in 1966).

...and other useless trivia.

I thought the triple crown was Le Mans, Indy, and Monaco.

Correct. The official name is Grand Prix de Monaco.
Monaco is the name of the principality – of which Monte Carlo is an important area (sort of downtown Monaco). But the terms are not synonymous at all.

I n motorsports “Monte Carlo” i s c o n v e n t i onally reserved to the rally e v e n t a n d “ M o n a c o ” t o t h e G r a n d P r i x c i r c u i t o r t he GP itself.
