Stirling Moss being the only driver in this top 10 not to win the F1 title breaks our heart...but this is still a very elite club to be a part of.
Measuring the greatness of F1 drivers down the generations is a minefield of caveats, asterisks and exceptions. Win percentages can serve to level the playing field somewhat, though.
However, we have omitted two names for this list. American drivers Lee Wallard and Bill Vukovich never competed in a Grand Prix in Europe, but triumphed at the Indy 500 when it was on the Formula 1 calendar between 1950 and 1960.[Figures correct as of end of 2022 season]A man rapidly rising to the top of all Formula 1’s statistical leaderboards, Max Verstappen has been a record-breaker since he first stepped into a seat aged only 17.
In a 10-year Formula 1 career driving for the likes of Mercedes, Maserati and Lotus, Moss finished the season in second place four times, with a further four bronze medals. At a rate of more than a victory every four races, Senna surely would have ended his career alongside Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher in the top-three winningest drivers. The Brazilian sits fifth despite the championship calendar featuring fewer races in his era.Senna’s bitter rival barely edges him on win percentage. The Formula 1 icons were often too close for comfort on-track, and wound up just the same in the history books.
