The Bio
Since the Formula One World Drivers’ Championship began in 1950 the title has been won by 32 different drivers, 15 of whom won more than one championship. Of the multiple champions, the most prolific was Juan Manuel Fangio, whose record of five titles stood for five decades until it was eclipsed by Michael Schumacher.
Seven times a champion, Schumacher held nearly every scoring record in the book by a considerable margin until Lewis Hamilton came along. He still clings onto a few records and is in most fans’ top three all-time drivers. Though his ethics were sometimes questioned, as was his decision to make a comeback after retiring, his sheer dominance when in his prime is beyond doubt.
