JV won five of his 11 from pole. Five from 2nd & one from 3rd. None of
his first four came from pole - probably Damon was in pole.

I can only find five drivers who had more than one win from pole at the
start of their F1 careers. In chronological order:

Phil Hill 2
Niki Lauda 4
Fernando Alonso 3
Felipe Massa 5
Lewis Hamilton 5

All except Lewis went on to win from lower positions, although Massa's
win at Bahrain this year was virtually from pole - he passed Kubica off
the line.
