Iconic Drivers in F1 2021

Alain Prost, often known as “The Professor” for his calculated, intelligent approach to motor racing, was a mainstay of F1 podiums for over a decade, taking a quartet of World Drivers Championships over the 1980s and early 1990s.

Prost’s fiercest rival, Ayrton Senna, is one of sport’s most legendary figures – his passion for racing and raw talent guiding him to three drivers’ titles, all with McLaren.

Scotsman David Coulthard was Senna’s replacement after his untimely passing in 1994, and ‘DC’ carved out a fantastic career of his own, with nearly 250 races and 13 race wins.

Felipa Massa often shared the grid with Coulthard – another Brazilian prodigy who notched up 11 wins, and came agonisingly close to defeating a certain Lewis Hamilton to the 2008 World Championship.

Another incredible driver from this century, Jenson Button’s F1 world title came behind the wheel of the unforgettable Brawn GP car of 2009, between race-winning stints at BAR and McLaren.

Nico Rosberg achieved what so many have tried and failed this century: defeating Lewis Hamilton in a straight World Championship fight, taking the title in 2016, shortly before retiring from the sport.

Last but not least, the legendary Michael Schumacher. 91 race wins. 68 pole positions. Seven World Drivers’ Championships. Schumacher is the measuring stick that so many of today’s F1 drivers aspire to reach – including his son, Mick.
