F1 Canadian Grand Prix: 5 Most Successful Drivers of all time

#1 Michael Schumacher (7)

Michael Schumacher won his seventh Canadian GP in the same year he won his seventh title.

Unsurprisingly, it's the man who has won more F1 races than any other that tops this list. Michael Schumacher was incredibly quick around every circuit he won on, Canada included, with 7 victories to match his seven titles in F1.

The German's first win in Canada came in 1994, a typically dominant display which saw him beat Damon Hill by almost 40 seconds as part of a grand slam. Schumacher should've won the following year, but electrical issues sent him back down the field and paved the way for Jean Alesi's only F1 win.

Schumacher won again in 1997 and '98 but his crash into the "Wall of Champions" in 1999 is ironically probably more famous. Himself, Jacques Villeneuve and Damon Hill all slammed into the wall on the outside of the final chicane, a series of events which cemented the name of the wall forever.

Four victories in five years would follow this, though, all to devastating effect and contributing to his driver's titles in those years.
