#4 Juan Manuel Fangio
At four is Juan Manuel Fangio, in seven seasons of F1, the Argentinian won five world titles. He had great skill within the car and drove with style and flair that not many other drivers could follow or even attempt, he is one of the greatest drivers the world has seen.
Fangio was a great team player and leader who inspired his team and helped in any way possible, even helping his mechanics with the car.
This epic drive that secured his fifth driving title was his last victory at the age of 46. After seeing so many friends and colleagues lose their lives in the sport he decided to retire.
His championship record stayed for 46 years and sadly in 1995 at the age of 84, he passed away at home in Argentina.
Fangio won championships with Alfa Romeo, Mercedes (two times), Ferrari and Maserati, I will leave you a quote from Stirling Moss about why Fangio always had the best car.
"Because he was the best bloody driver! The cheapest method of becoming a successful Grand Prix team was to sign up Fangio."
