There is only one I can find. The 1950 Italian GP where the top 3 were all Italians. They were in order: Nino Farina, Dorino Serafini and Luigi Fagioli.
I’ll see if I can find more. But rosbif should be able to give you a full list ;p
1952 French GP (all Italian)
Alberto Ascari
Nino Farina
Piero Taruffi
1952 Dutch GP (all Italian)
Alberto Ascari
Nino Farina
Luigi Villoresi
The most recent one I’ve found (still looking) was the 1982 French GP, when the 1-2-3 were all French! Arnoux won, with Prost second and Pironi third.
Got another: 1983 San Marino GP, Tambay leading home Prost and Arnoux for another French 1-2-3. Race, 2m40 on the counter, podium ceremony at 3m42: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b_KN_u-Zus
That’s it, I’ve looked through all the results from the one I knew about in 1982…that race at Imola in 1983 was the last time.
Even the Schumachers, Frentzen and Heidfeld never all got it together at the same weekend, only two of those four ever managed to get on the podium together at any one time. Hill/Coulthard/Herbert/Brundle got close too, but didn’t manage it. Other than that it’s very rare for three or more drivers from the same country to be in a position to finish on the podium.
There were probably a lot in the 1960s, so I’ll just have a look through that to give you a decent list.
1963:
Britain: Clark, Surtees, Hill
1964:
Holland: Clark, Surtees, Arundell
Britain: Clark, Hill, Surtees
1965:
S.Africa: Clark, Surtees, Hill
France: Clark, Stewart, Surtees
Britain: Clark, Hill, Surtees
1968:
USA: Stewart, Hill, Surtees
Then there’s a LONG gap, until the French arrive in 1980:
S.Africa: Arnoux, Laffite, Pironi
And then we’re back at the first two I mentioned above.
EDIT
Seeing as I have time on my hands, I’ll do the 1950s for you too (I won’t bother with the 1950-60 Indy 500s…).
Looking back, i do not believe that has ever happened.
