Another John Watson was a formula one driver

Thanks for mentioning the McLaren driver, 62.212.103.37. As for 142.22.16.54, I decided not to bother to ban him -- he apparently got bored after two articles -- or maybe he got fascinated watching straw spun into gold! --Ed Poor
I think there's a chess player and author of this name as well - I'll check and add him (maybe we should create an article "List of people called John Watson" ;) --Camembert

What about the most famous John Watson in all of fiction?

"Watson is the loyal companion of detective Sherlock Holmes and the narrator of nearly all the Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Watson debuts in A Study in Scarlet, the first Sherlock Holmes story (published in 1887), joining Holmes in bachelor lodgings at 221b Baker Street in London and accompanying the detective on the first of his many adventures. Eventually Watson began his own medical practice, married and moved out of the Baker Street flat; in still later stories, after the untimely death of his wife, Watson moved back in with Holmes. Though often played as a buffoon in the movies (most notably by Nigel Bruce in the series of films starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes), in the original stories Watson is a dependable and intelligent man and offers a warmhearted counterpoint to Holmes's cool cynicism."
