#3 Narain Karthikeyan (F1)
Karthikeyan will always be remembered as the first Indian F1 driver. However, the potential he showed at a young age indicated that he could have reached the top of the sport.
In 1994 as an 18-year old Karthikeyan recorded a podium finish at the Formula Junior Championship in Portugal. In 1996, he became the first Indian and Asian to win a Formula 1 series. A couple of years later, he had already graduated to Formula 3.
Despite showing a lot of prowess at a young age, Karthikeyan only raced for the lower rung teams in Formula 1 (Jordan and Hispania Racing).
