Michael Schumacher
According to the statistics, Michael Schumacher was the greatest F1® driver of all time, prior to the 2020 season. A stunning 91 wins in 308 races, and seven World Championships to his name, a feat that’s only just been equaled last season by Lewis Hamilton. Michael’s biggest success came at Ferrari, where he’d been hand-picked to drive the team to success, winning five consecutive titles with the team from 2000 – 2004.
Ayrton Senna
Ayrton Senna: truly one of the all-time greats of Formula 1®. A prodigy in his karting and early open-wheel career, he started in F1® in 1984 at Toleman-Hart and began scoring points in his first season. He took 41 wins, 65 pole positions, including that incredible 1988 lap of Monaco, and three World Championships, all of which were won in partnership with McLaren.
Alain Prost
Alain Prost was given the moniker of ‘The Professor’ due to his strategic and intellectual style of racing. Debuting at McLaren in 1980, his career stats are formidable: 51 wins, 41 fastest laps and four World Championships. He took his first World Championship in his second stint at McLaren in 1985, then again in 1986 and 1989, in a fierce intra-team rivalry with Ayrton Senna. He’d take his last championship in 1993 with Williams before retiring at the end of the season.
Jenson Button
Starting his career at Williams in 2000 as the then youngest F1® driver ever, Jenson Button would go on to take 15 wins, eight pole positions, and win his World Championship in 2009, in Brawn GP’s first and only season in Formula 1®. Button moved to McLaren in 2010, where he partnered with a young Lewis Hamilton.
Nico Rosberg
The son of 1982 World Champion Keke Rosberg, Nico started his Formula 1® career at Williams in 2006. He moved to Mercedes in 2010 to race alongside Michael Schumacher until pairing with Lewis Hamilton in 2013. In 2016, he won the World Championship, beating his teammate, Lewis Hamilton, and winning nine of the 21 races of that season.
David Coulthard
One of the most successful British drivers in F1® racing history, David Coulthard, or DC, as he’s more commonly known, raced 15 seasons in Formula 1®, before retiring in 2008. He secured 13 wins and 62 podium finishes during his lengthy career, coming second to Michael Schumacher in the 2001 World Championship.
Felipe Massa
Making his debut in 2002 with Sauber, Felipe Massa would go on to take 11 race wins, 41 podiums, and came second to Lewis Hamilton in the 2008 season, famously losing out by just one point. Massa scored his first F1® victory at the 2006 Turkish Grand Prix and showed off his overtaking ability with multiple drives through the field that season, culminating a win at the Brazilian Grand Prix
