That noble statistic that Verstappen can dent
Alain Prost, Sebastian Vettel, Juan Manuel Fangio, Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton: this the exclusive club of F1 drivers who have won four or more world titles. In 2025 Lewis Hamilton will be a Ferrari driver and the announcement made official last Thursday definitively united all five by the fact of having driven – in the past or in the future – Ferrari.
Alain Prost arrived in Maranello in 1990 and then turbulently separated from the Rossa in 1991, Sebastian Vettel wore the red suit from 2015 to 2020, Juan Manuel Fangio was a driver for the Prancing Horse in 1956 while Michael Schumacher spent ten seasons in red from 1996 to 2006. Among them only Fangio and Schumacher they won one or more titles at the wheel of Ferrari, with which other champions such as Mario Andretti and Fernando Alonso 'failed'.
There is another notable parallel between Hamilton and Fangio. When Fangiò made his debut at the wheel of Ferrarin in 1956, the Argentine was the most successful driver in the still young history of F1, just as in 2025 Hamilton will certainly still be the most successful driver – ever – of the Circus. In 2024, however, Max Verstappen has the possibility of bringing to six the number of drivers with four or more world titles in their portfolio and if the Dutchman managed to lower the poker he would be the 'intruder' in the group of multi-titles who have – some for a year, some for eleven – drove the Ferrari.
