Stacked column chart showing the number of podium wins by Formula 1 drivers in the World Championships since 1950. The German Michael Schumacher is the outstanding leader of all F1 World Champions with 7 wins and 5 other podium places. He is the only one to have equaled and surpassed the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio of Argentina who won the World Champion's crown 5 times in the far away 1950s.

The German Michael Schumacher is the outstanding leader of all F1 World Champions with 7 wins and 5 other podium places. He is the only one to have equaled and surpassed the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio of Argentina who won the World Champion's crown 5 times in the far away 1950s.

Unfortunately, Schumacher tarnished his golden record by making a comeback in 2010, driving a Mercedes GP car. This time, his performance has been a ghostly shadow of his glorious past achievements, finishing 9th in 2010, 8th in 2011, and 13th in 2012 — far better than the average F1 candidate, but appalling for a champion of his class.

Meanwhile, a new German car-racing star is born : the young Sebastian Vettel has achieved 4 champion titles in a row, demonstrating an obvious superiority over his challengers. However, recent years have been marked by the Mercedes team unassailable supremacy, casting a shadow on Ferrari's Vettel performance. The future will tell whether or not he will be able to equal his country fellow's record performance.
