Michael was so good with his metal; he exactly knew his speed and limits. His wheel was his glory and nothing less than the most prized possession that he drove with so much passion and gold knowledge. It is so difficult to even get into the F1 racecourse, leave alone, sustaining and winning 91 of them and some of them in one class.
6)Sir Jackie Stewart:

7)Sir Stirling Moss:
Stirling Moss was a British F1 racing driver who had won 212 out of the 529 races he competed in.

In 1991, Prost was fired by Ferrari for publicly criticizing their metal, saying, ‘a truck would be easier to drive than this car’.
He was a drama-free racer who didn’t care about the limelight. At least not for the wrong reasons. He was blunt and ruthless about his truths and preferences.
9)Niki Lauda:
