Quote:
10. Jack Brabham (AUS) - Jack Brabham is a three-time World Champion, who won two World Championships back-to-back in 1959 and 1960. He raced 128 times in his 15-year career, winning 14 of those races and achieving 31 podium finishes.
His 1966 World Championship triumph was extra special as he became the only man to win a Formula One World Championship with one of his own cars.
9. Nelson Piquet (BRA)
8. Alberto Ascari (ITA)
7. Niki Lauda (AUST)
6. Sir Jackie Stewart (SCO)
5. Jim Clark (SCO)
4. Alain Prost (FRA)
3. Juan Manuel Fangio (ARG)
2. Ayrton Senna (BRA)
1. Michael Schumacher (GER) - His domination of his sport can be compared to that of Tiger Woods or Roger Federer. However, unlike those two, Schumacher has made it as the best in my opinion.
When he got in full swing, the records started tumbling. He holds the record for most World Championships (seven), most consecutive World Championships (five), most race victories (91), most fastest laps (76), most pole positions (68), most points scored (1,369) and most races won in a single season (13). He is also the only driver to have achieved an entire season of podium finishes, on his way to his 154 podium finishes.
Overall, Schumacher holds 31 Formula One records.
Although often a controversial driver, Schumacher has, in my view, done enough to be considered the best of all-time in his sport.
