    Sebastian Vettel

    Vettel attained an impressive 4 consecutive World Championships, with his first title being won when he was only 23 years old. A record that still stands today, the youngest World Champion.

  • June

    Jackie Stewart

    He is one of the great characters of Grand Prix racing. The first British driver to be victorious in 3 world championships. He has the fitting sobriquet of the “Flying Scot”.

  • July

    Jack Brabham

    Brabham did it all. 3 World Championships, setting up winning racing teams and becoming a constructor too. This photo shows him in his eponymous car and team on his way to the 1966 French GP victory.

  • August

    Niki Lauda

    Lauda won his first title in 1975. He may have won in 1976 too, if it wasn’t for a near-fatal accident. He had the greatest sporting comeback in history with another title in 1977 and a third in 1984.

  • September

    Nelson Piquet

    After 2 titles driving a Brabham car, Piquet then drove for Williams in 1986. He went on to defeat his team mate, Nigel Mansell, taking the 1987 title.

  • October

    Ayrton Senna

    There are fewer more iconic sights than the red and white McLaren with a yellow helmet in the cockpit. The great Senna achieved 3 titles in those famous colours.

  • November

    Max Verstappen

    After a controversial first title in 2021, Max has been dominating F1 since, now with 3 championships in succession. With time on his side and an abundance of talent, there are likely more titles to come.

  • December

    Fernando Alonso

    Often referred to as one of the greatest drivers in the history of F1. Alonso was the one who disrupted Schumacher’s run of titles and has been in contention during many more seasons since.
