The Formula 1 World Championship is a must-see event for motorsport lovers. It is one of the most watched championships in the world and has millions of fans across the planet.
Throughout history, legendary drivers have made a respected name for themselves in racing and demonstrated the skill necessary to write history.
Tenacity and adrenaline are two components that characterize any driver who drives single-seaters trying to overtake as many opponents as possible to finish at the top of the standings in any race.
However, just like the drivers, teams must also demonstrate the talent necessary to prepare the best possible car for their drivers. To do this, they hire the best mechanics in the world, who strive to work under pressure in record time.
That is why on DAZN we have prepared a detailed comparative guide between some of the best teams in the history of competition, and in that we will also examine who are the drivers with the most titles in history.

From Ayrton Senna to Gilles Villeneuve, or from Michael Schumacher to Lewis Hamilton, they are all drivers recognized for their enormous talent on the track and, at times, for their undoubted charisma off the track.
Obviously, controversy has not been lacking on so many occasions in more than 70 years of history, in which brawls, illegal maneuvers and accidents have occurred around the world under the protection of Formula 1.
However, thanks to its passion, excitement, competitiveness and demand, the World Championship has managed to attract millions of people around the planet who, every weekend, vibrate thanks to the skill demonstrated by the world’s best drivers.
For this reason, on DAZN we have prepared a detailed guide to acquaint you with the best drivers in the history of Formula 1 and the records they have achieved in one of the most impressive sports in existence.
