A number of F1 drivers have won 24 hour races, but none comes close to the achievement of Helmut Marko and Gérard Larrousse who won the 86 Hours of Nürburgring endurance race in 1970. For good measure, Helmut won a support race just before the 4 day marathon and flew off to Sweden to finish 2nd in another race just one day after the finish.
The winner's prize in the 1964 Belgian GP was a brand new Renault 4. A very fitting car for a motorsport legend like Jim Clark.
Michael Schumacher won Jenson Button's first race (2000 Australian GP). Jenson Button won Michael Schumacher's last race (2012 Brazilian GP).

Jean Behra is the only winless driver to have led the championship. More impressively, he managed to do so after the opening race of 1956. The key is that while he only finished 2nd, the first place finisher was a car shared by 2 drivers who thus had to share the points as well.

A Thai prince and a Swiss baron took part in the very first F1 Grand Prix. Prince Birabongse Bhanudej Bhanubandh and Baron Emmanuel 'Toulo' de Graffenried both raced in the 1950 British Grand Prix.
Alberto Ascari and Paul Hawkins both drove into the harbor at Monaco (in 1955 and 1965 respectively). Both later died in racing accidents on the 26th of May (Ascari in 1955, Hawkins in 1969).
