- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2024
- Ferrari tops all the major Formula 1 statistics, and by some margin. It has more race wins, more drivers’ titles and more constructors’ crowns than any other team.
That means picking out the top 10 Ferrari F1 drivers is incredibly difficult, with some top drivers and world champions missing the cut. But we’ve given it a go.
For this list, Autosport’s Chief Editor Kevin Turner assessed the amount of success the drivers scored with Ferrari, the impact they had on the team and the circumstances of their time there.
Want to know more about our top 10 or hear experts debate the list? Take a look here:

Let’s be honest we all knew who number 1 was before clicking on the video
It’s because of the great Michael Schumacher that made me fall in love with motorsport
Keep fighting Michael forever my biggest hero 🏎🏎🏎🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪👑👑👑🐐🐐🐐
For me it was Seb.
I mean the number 2 is also easy pick
I still find Michael's comeback in 1999 extremely impressive. Imagine breaking your leg, being out of action for months, coming back in the penultimate race of the season and putting the car on pole by just one second. Then, at the beginning of the race, he pulled away from the pack, only to let Irvine pass later. Michael would have been world champion quite easily without his accident.
You should watch the comebacks of MotoGP riders. Like Lorenzo at Assen, 36 hours after collarbone surgery.
Imagine having a horrofiying crash at high speed crashing into the barrier on the Nürburgring, which sets the entire car on fire and you cant get out.
Despite this, 6 Weeks later, still obviously injured you get back into the car to fight for the title.
Niki was truly a Legend.
He even came back too early, not fully recovered.
Jean Todt called him at home, his kid (not sure which) picked up and said Michael is playing football with us. Jean said if he can play football he can race.
If Irvine almost won, Michael would have won in reverse...
@@TheNerd, imagine totally changing the subject!
Imagine just accepting that the comeback was still good
Kimi should be in 7th place, like his number. Missed an opportunity there
Vettel clearly deserves to be in the top 10 - I think it's hard to blame him for his failures when the management that hired him left, the replacement died and the replacement after that conspired against him.
Frankly, with all that pressure (that we could visibly see) I'm impressed he won as many races as he did. The races he won, he won on merit and even the races he messed up (in 2017 and 2018) he still put in some excellent drives to get back into P3-P6. He also demolished Kimi.
This ↑ 100%. Not beating the completely dominant Mercedes in the turbo era is NOT a shame. He got the most out of that car year in and year out.
Though I admire Vettel a lot as a great driver (and a person), but he did make quite a lot of unnecessary mistakes on his own during his time at Ferrari. I remember watching him retire a race and just thought, "great, Vettel did it again" (particularly near his end at Ferrari). I don't know whether or not he should be in the list. He is a great talent, but he also had some bad moments himself.
Kimi won wdc with ferrari
@@belvinananda Yes, once. And NOT during the turbo era, while Vettel won the WDC 4x at Red Bull during a strange time of not know what the future was going to hold, and he battled the Mercs to aplomb during the Silver Arrows domination of the sport.
@@leumas75 the mercedes was NOT that dominant in 2017 and especially 2018
Kimi had the measure of vettel at the end of 2018
Schumacher!!! ❤
I’m actually wearing my Michael Schumacher sneakers while watching. Schumacher my childhood hero. Big fan.😊
Schumacher's influence, personnel requests with Ross Brawn, Rory Byrne, Aldo Costa etc., led to the period of Ferrari's greatest technical innovation, development etc.,. Schumacher also pioneered modern F1 driver fitness with his methods. He also set the tone for modern F1 driver work ethic.
Seb, Fernando, Charles they all have one thing on common: they're not a Ferrari champion like Kimi.
They all wanted to be like Schumi and Kimi, but in the end, Kimi is still the last Ferrari champion. No amount of pay or WDC championships you have can compare to being a Ferrari champion, it's a prestige that only few had ever achieved.
☝️
He also secured them their last constructors championship in 08, after he was sabotaged with an understeer biased car for the first half of the season
Kimi is the new Jody Scheckter
@@danieljoseph255 The insane downforce might have caused that, not a sabotage. Massa simply adapted better and made the most of it, despite him and Silverstone wet never being a good combo.
Ferrari wouldn't sabotage the driver who got his championship last year, Massa simply proved being faster that season.
@@vittorioamato877 In fact if Ferrari is not able to win WDC in the next 5 seasons, then Kimi will beat Jody's record of being the longest reigning Ferrari champion
Fantastic video. I love these deeper dives and history videos. It always fun to learn about Formula One from a different era. Keep up the good work.
Even with vettels mistakes i still belive he should of been top 10
If Vettel should be in top 10, who in those top 10 should be replace?
@Marin Zovko Yeah 4 championships in a row
@@adnanag1706 a snake from drive to survive pops his head out...
Raikkonen should definitely be higher. True, he wasn't in his prime at Ferrari anymore but he was consistent and won the last WDC with Ferrari. Without unreliable McLaren he'd have 3 WDC titles and at his prime he was insanely fast. Nigel Mansell should also be in the top 10. True he was soundly beaten by Prost during his Ferrari stint but overall he was a great driver.
Imagine Alonso in the 17, 18 Ferrari, he'd probably made it tougher for Lewis, don't know about winning it tho, although I think he could've done it, imagine, if he did in 10, 12, 17 and 18 he would've been a 6 time world champ, and a 4 time world champ for Ferrari
Very well done - I found it (almost) impossible to disagree with any of your choices! 👏🏻👏🏻
-The top 3 Ferrari drivers are Michael Schumacher, Niki Lauda and Alberto Ascari, all the others are playing it safe.
-J.M.Fangio, Mike Hawton, Phill Hill, John Surtess, Jody Scheckter and Kimi Raikkonen have all won a world drivers' championship with Ferrari and it seems fitting that they should rightfully enter the Top 10 of Ferrari drivers (4th until 9th place). It's More difficult
-Fernando Alonso was the most competitive driver in the history of Ferrari who did not win the world championship with the Ferrari because he came second 3 times and lost the world title twice in the last race. However, no one else was so competitive among the drivers. who did not win the world championship with the red and consequently Fernando Alonso deserves 10th place in the ranking of the best Ferrari driver.
Really feel like Phil Hill should be here.
I cannot believe Nigel Mansell never made the top 10
His time at Ferrari wasn't that fruitful, and he quickly fell out with the team once Prost was brought in
Alain Prost is the GOAT! He was by far the best tactician, never had a team on his side, and therefore had to fight harder than anyone else. He is still underestimated, if not ignored. Tragically, the AP story goes on, and on, and on...
Maybe not the GOAT, but certainly deservedly in the top 5 (if not the top 3). I struggle putting him higher than Lewis, but seeing how mediocre Lewis has been this year, I'm gradually starting to rate Lewis lower and lower.
@@flyingphoenix113 Lewis took his victories because Michael Schumacher did the groundwork! Michael didn't win with Mercedes but his working attitude was still the same.
@@flyingphoenix113 Prost was far better than Hamilton. Hamilton could not never win in 1986 like Prost.
Alesi is my sentimental favourite Ferrari man.
I wasn’t a huge fan of Schumacher during his dominance, but I do admit he was one of the best drivers in Formula 1 history, no question about it and it really is a shame that he had that accident which has put him out of public gaze indefinitely. I’m hoping his son can come close to his ability at some point, he just needs the right machinery to show his talent.
Kimi should be in the top 5 if not top 3 because of one thing, the drivers title! shame!
I actually think Gerhard Berger should be on this list. During both of his stints at Ferrari, he had downright awful machinery yet he still came 3rd in two of those seasons. He dominated former championship runner-up Alboreto in his first stint and Alesi mostly in his second stint (something he would not match when the pair drove for Benetton apart from two superb drives in Hockenheim).
In some years it was uncompetitive, in other years it was hampered by other issues. I think in one year the Ferrari V12 was so thirsty they had to like go at slow speed deliberately. Some time near the end of the season he once told himself "well screw that" and just went full throttle retiring halfway with not nearly enough fuel left, leading by half a minute or so. ^^
I generally think his racecraft is oft underestimated due to two reasons: Senna dominating him at McLaren and apart from that him always picking the wrong time to move teams.
Surtees makes the list, but not Vettel? What kind of glue are you sniffing mate?
8:11 is vettel
@@aaronthe747fan Yes I know, but not even considered in the top 10! Shameful!
Vettel just spins why would he be mentioned? Got exposed by ricciardo once he wasn’t in his rocket ship redbull. And surtees was a champion
@@dre359 but vettel could have one the 2017 and 2018 World drivers championship if he did make so many mistakes
@@dre359 Surtees X 1 - Vettel X 4 NUF SAID!

China 06
Somehow missed out his most dominant years so I’m sure there are other good choices!
Kimi should be higher on the list, it's not easy to be world champion especially in a Ferrari, there's a lot of pressure from the outside of the paddock, in addition he beat Hamilton and Alonso who had a better car
Please, do the same type of video for others historic teams (McLaren, Lotus, Williams, etc...)
I think Raikkonen should not be on the list as he was a bit like Schkecter at Ferrari and did not really set the world on fire. Should be Nigel Mansell instead. Mansell electrified the Tifosi like Villeneuve and he helped a great deal bringing Ferrari F1 to the modern era.
Still Kimi is Ferrari's latest champion and he managed to do that in his 1st year with the team and also helped secure Ferrari's latest WCC year later....Plus like said in later half of 2009 he put that car on positions it should not have been, as many in the team that time have said themselves....just compare him to Fisichella (Badoer is not perhaps fair comparison) who could get nowhere with that car. Let alone how long career Kimi had with Ferrari compared to Mansell
If Mansell had beaten Prost, then he would deserve place here, but since he didnt, Mansell doesnt deserve the place
gentlemen a short view bak to tha pahhhst! i love it every time
Alonso did things with that car that should not have been possible.
Alonso should be in higher place than Vettel.
"Gilles was the best and the fastest racing driver in the world. And I liked him as a man even more than I admired him as a driver." Niki Lauda
I mean, could there have been another No 1? Schumacher may as well have been the team principal he was so synonymous with them. Lauda as my personal hero was a much earned second
Ashamed you didnt put Alboreto in this list
Gerhard Berger was the most relaxed Ferrari driver ...
As an Alonso fan, I'm really surprised that Vettel wasn't in the top!
Where is Jody?
Alonso's political antics in 2011 got Costa fired at Ferrari. Costa went on to then lead the design of Mercedes from 2013, which shredded almost every Ferrari record. For this, I could never put Alonso in any such Ferrari list, eventhough he's one of the most gifted drivers.
Alonso did carried Ferrari 2012 onwards, no one can deny that.
2010 is the only year I could blame Alonso for the Spa mistake, but the team as well for the strategy in Abu Dhabi...
likewise with James Allison
If Alonso gets credit for outperforming his car so too should Vettel.
Respectfully.. Alonso worst season with Ferrari was better than Vettels best season with Ferrari.
Huh...? When did Vettel outperform his car at Ferrari?
The thing that really make different is Vettel makes costly mistake in Championship battle while Alonso didn't
@T S The driver won 14 races and fought with all his heart while Ferrari were -very- shy believing in him in the though moments.
You are delusional, mate.
Alonso should have been higher in that list in my opinion. I do agree about Vettel though, he should not be in the top 10.
Great list but can't we afford long sleeves? it's October not June.
Yeah, not putting Vettel in a top 5 Ferrari drivers says a lot about you. Possibly the best driver they could have gotten at the time and that shit team just destoyed his career, same as with Alonso, Kimi, Leclerc. Only difference between Vettel and Alonso is that Seb was looking at himself and how he could improve, rather than putting the blame on the “team” as your 5th placed driver did. Never liked Alonso and nothinh can convince me that he would’ve done even half as well ss Vettel did in ‘17 and ‘18 with that good car and crap team
Lol look at sebastian every year of his career he didn’t have the rocket ship redbull. Didn’t win shit and all he did was spin out. He got exposed by a rookie Ricciardo. Alonso and Raikkonen are better than vettel
Massively underrated fangio
The What If video I want to see from literally anyone: What if Robert Kubica would have gone to Ferrari like it was planned?
How about a Willians and Maclaren top 10?😍
I think there are some number 2's that should be in the top 10...
Alonso, Raikkönen and Prost should've been higher than Vettel.
Vettel isnt actually part of the top ten, fernando is 5th, and john surtees 4th. Vettel is just mentioned in between them
Really good video, should do a podcast on this subject :P
Ferrari ain't just only titles and championships. Therefore, my top 3 is Alesi, Arnoux and Gilles.
2017 by Vettel was a fine season. The car was designed to allow him to really thrash it the way he did back at Red Bull. His feedback, demands etc., would've been pivotal in making those great 2017 & 18 cars. Reliability failed him in Japan. Singapore was one misjudgment that led to a DNF instead of outscoring Hamilton on to the podium.
I expected Vettel to be on here but your reasoning makes a lot of sense and it's probably just recency bias coming into play. Also, him having the third most wins for the Scuderia is helped by the fact that there are more races now and reliability is much better compared to back in the day.
But where's Luca Badoer? I thought he will be number 1.
The amount of testing and set up work he did for them is sadly overlooked because he wasn't a particularly good racing driver. I dare you to watch the European GP that Johnny Herbert won in the Stewart (you should be able to find the year from that info), and not, at the very least, well up with tears when he breaks down. He made me cry!
Regardless of whether or not you agree with this list I hope leclerc or sainz manage to leap into it by end of 23. God as fans we are due something. Even if the team doesn’t
Monticemolo ,ειχαμε τον καλυτερο οδηγό. στον κοσμο αλλα δεν μπορέσαμε να του δώσουμε ένα μονοθέσιο ανταξιο του ταλέντου του!!! Φερνάντο Αλόνσο ο άνθρωπος που έριξε την αυτοκρατορία της Φερράρι και του Σουμάχερ.

11:41 comical touch
Ah here we go - typical British bias against Vettel. He’s the third most successful driver at Ferrari to date, but not deserving to be a top 4 driver on your list because of mistakes?
Who hasn’t made them? Leclerc has made a few this year, and arguably made more than Vettel did in 2019.
Look up the recent interview with Ferrari’s former press officer, Alberto Antonini. He said Ferrari never had a car good enough to win the title against Mercedes in 2017 or 2018. So even though Vettel made mistakes in 2018, it would have been incredibly difficult for him to win the title regardless even if he had a perfect run that season.
Vettel got exposed by Ricciardo in 2014. All he did at Ferrari was spin and make mistakes. Alonso and raikkonen own this fraud
Driver's who won the title for Ferrari should always be higher than those who did not.
What's wrong with you??
Worst list I’ve ever seen - no wheel knowledge detected. How can a company like Autosport have so little shame? Using Seb for click bait, then ignoring all his incredible performances from 2015-2017??
How did they use him as clickbait?
Disagree - I won’t even have Vettel in my top 20 Ferrari drivers. Collins, Ickx, Jody,, Pironi all did better at Ferrari.
FUNFACT : Number 8 on the list is the last ferrari champion 😁
Gimi
Ni puta idea.....
Vettel also guided good car development initially from 2015 onwards till about 2019 when the team just took a new direction with the 2019 aero rules which really didn't suit him and made for bad cars. Always knew Vettel had won a lot of races for Ferrari. He also perhaps brought some of his Red Bull experience, preferences over to the engineers at Maranello.
Barrichello not being on this list. LMFAOOO
"One Manuel Fangio"
I'll keep going until you guys learn how to say Spanish names properly, instead of the butchered British versions of those names.
Today Fangio joins the list with Jerez and Ibiza.

Really? Where is Barrichello?!
Prost the true 1990 champion - wiped out by Senna deliberately at Suzuka.
And Senna Champion in 1989, crash Prost with him.
@@eduardoantoniodicavalcanti
Yes 89 Senna but more for his speed. The 89 Suzuka crash had also an element of Senna launching it from far and James Hunt even blamed Senna for it. Wouldn't go that far and the disqualification was wrong, of course.
@@philippruest5577 . 🤝🇧🇷👏🇧🇷
That was only the penultimate race - Senna was quite far ahead and would almost certainly have taken it regardless.
Imagine historic races and results using modern rules ...
That would be interesting reading .
Not even sure why Raikkonen is on the list, one of the most overrated drivers in F1 history, could have been great, instead chose to not care. Top 10 is extremely generous
go watch his years at Mclaren
I bet you think sebastian is better than him you clown 🤡. Raikkonen in the early 2000’s the fastest driver only behind Michael Schumacher
21 wins, 103 podiums and a driver's title speaks for itself. what have you done in your career? nothing. just shut your mouth and back to your cave
@@SuperMattzy1998 cool story
Dude,no matter what you think he still IS Ferrari's latest champion and he won that championship during his first season with the team and helped the team also secure their latest WCC year later and when Massa got hurt in Hungary, he did indeed put that car in places where it should not have been, many in the team during that time have said they had no idea how Kimi was able to pull of those results during the 2nd half of 2009 when he scored most points aside from Hamilton in Mclaren.
I honestly cant say how you can claim that Kimi "didnt care" when he many times quite loudly said what he thought about Ferrari's mistakes in the team radio....ofc he wanted to win even during his 2nd stint with Ferrari and he was disappointed whenever he felt like Ferrari's screwed up strategies or other mistakes had costed him the wins...like for example in Monaco 2017 or even at season starter in Melbourne when he loudly yelled to team radio "dont fuck me up with this", regarding to his strategy.
Yes its true that Kimi wasnt the kind of person who was constantly at the factory or went do simulation, the latter especially because he didnt ever feel comfortable with it, so I guess you can say that in that regard Kimi should have worked harder, but Kimi is the kind of person who values his freetime as well, so he is bit like his "idol", James Hunt in that regard. Still whenever he was testing or it was race weekend, he worked hard and was very good at telling feedback that others couldnt. Many who have worked with Kimi like Vettel or other team members from Mclaren, Lotus or Ferrari years have said this. Kimi's biggest weakness was that he had very narrow window on where he could work the car to its absolute best, so he couldnt adapt as well to difficult handling car like Alonso could.
But still you do him great disrespect if you think that he was lazy bum who wouldnt deserve credit for his career and those latest championships he won with Ferrari. And the feedback he has gotten from his work from Ferrari and how much respect he has from the team (why they kept him for so many years in the first place) speaks for itself.
Michael SCHUMACHER
Gilles VILLENUE
Fernando ALONSO
Barrichello deserves more to be in this list then Alonso. Change my mind!
🚨" BREAKING NEWS" 🚨
THE FIA HAVE JUST ANNOUNCED THAT MAX COSTCAPPEN WILL BE THE 2023 , 2024 AND 2025 WORLD CHAMPION 🏆
I would have swapped Alonso and Vettel. No way Vettel performed better at Ferrari. Ferrari even had an illegal engine in 2018
How is 2018 engine illegal ? 🤨
2019
Vettel is not p 4. He just mentioned him to say that he is not top 10.
Yeah I forgot the exact year. It is 2019. Thanks for pointing out
Vettel is not ahead of Alonso. He mentioned Seb because he was disappointed that Alonso didn't drive for Ferrari instead of Vettel in 2017 & 2018.
Nah Vettel in and Alonso out all day long.
You have no idea. Both are good, but the team in their days was nit goid enough. Like in 1990 with Prost.
3 great champions but Ferrari was in bad shape.
Kimi way better than Alonso
Kimi Raikkonen should be higher than the german fraud
Vettel is not on this list though
Number one was easy to guess and deserved, just wish he never came out of retirement to race for Mercedes.
