Which was the second team in F1 to race a triangular cross-section monocoque, model, year, driver and first race?

Gold star for the driver who took it to the podium.

I was 1 year old in '76, but with the magic of google I think, fifth position on the grid should have been car number 3
(Jody Scheckter) it is car number 4 (Patrick Depailler)

did I get it right? :)

Yes you're right ! Strange things happened to car #4 ! It's not only in the false grid position but also driven by the "false driver" as you can easily reconize Jody Scheckter's helmet in Patrick Depailler's car. You can check it with several of the original 41 pictures that I found on Motorsport Magazin Com

Obviously, the Tyrrell P34 is not the start of the movie...

It's not that odd, really. There are far bigger mistakes and continuity errors in bigger budget movies. As long as it doesn't get in the way of the story, only boffins like us will notice it anyway.
