There are others however Jody Scheckter with Wolf in 1977 as that was a new team.
Alain Prost on his second visit to McLaren in 1984 although it was then run by Ron Dennis not Teddy Mayer as it had been when he raced there previously. Prost did it again on his debut with Williams in 1993.
I also seem to remember Mario Andretti winning on his debut in the 1960's but I was not around for that. Fangio also won his debut with Mercedes in 1954.
There may be others but of those I am aware of (besides Max V) they were all world champions or would win at least one.
Andretti - Won 1971 South African GP on his debut for Ferrari.
