In the 64 year history of Formula 1 racing (1950-2013), there have been 743 different drivers, 104 different victors, and 32 different world champions. Of those victors and champions, there are some who stand tall above the rest, towering over the masses as the ten greatest drivers in Formula 1 history.
Before that, though, there are some drivers who came close to making the top ten. Honorable mentions go to Jim Clark (72 starts, 25 victories, 2 world championship), Alberto Ascari (32 starts, 13 victories, 2 world championships), and Stirling Moss (66 starts, 16 victories, 0 world championships).
British racing legend Jim Clark is remembered as a man who, at the time of his death in 1968, was the winningest driver in Formula 1 history. Were it not for that fateful accident at the Hockenheimring, he could well have gone on to equal the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio in terms of Championships.
Alberto Ascari was the first legendary driver for Ferrari, and his two world championships in 1952 and ’53 made him the first true Italian Formula 1 celebrity.
British veteran Stirling Moss is one of the greatest drivers in history to have never won a championship, though a remarkable 16 wins from 67 starts warrant his inclusion as one of the true greats in the history of the sport.

After the agony of defeat, success will be sweet!
