Other riders, as a rule, manifest themselves in the main race. Once on the starting grate behind the faster machines, they make every effort to escape forward – to the upper stage of the podium.

And today we will talk about the big multi -mums, which belong to the riders of the second type – those for whom it was a common thing to win the race, starting the check -in behind their rivals. In many cases, the importance of such victories was exacerbated by the fact that they were won on a weaker car, although, of course, there were exceptions.
Michael Schumacher
91 Victory, 68 Pole. Statistics: +23
Our top Michael Schumacher begins. In addition to the seven championship titles and a huge number of records, the “Red Baron” became the history of Formula-1 as a racer, who showed incredible perseverance and desire to be on the top of the catwalk even when the speed of his cars left much to be desired.
At that time, he won his first victory at that time on the 1992 Grand Prix, starting from the third position-Nigel Mansell was located at the pole at the time.

And the 1994 season began with the fact that Schumacher won three row in a row to start the second – behind Airton Senna, including the tragic “black weekend” in Imola when the Brazilian died.
Among the many rivals of Michael in the fight for the titles, the longest battle lasted with two pilots – Damon Hill and Mika Hakkinen, each of whom lost eight times the German race after starting from Polo. And both performed on the cars designed by the engineering genius of Edrian New.
Since in the 80’s, formula-1 abandoned the voracious and unreliable turbomotors, the qualifications of the 90’s have a trend: in dry conditions, pool usually got the owners of the fastest cars. Although, of course, there were exceptions to this rule. However, the fact remains: on Saturday, the random has several attempts, and only one circle is needed.
Since Ferrari was inferior to Williams first, and since 1998, McLaren, more often, Schumacher had to start behind and make every effort in the race to break forward. And it was so good to him that the Red Baron was almost always a priori perceived as a formidable contender for the championship title.

It should also be noted that in the era of refueling there were many opportunities to bypass the opponent on the sweatshirt-due to the more accurate choice of the moment for stopping and calculating the amount of fuel poured into the tanks.
And this was an incredibly good ally Michael, the brilliant strategist Ross Brown. And the most famous triumph of the symbiosis of cunning and perfectly accurate pilotage was the Grand Prix of Hungary in 1998.
As for the best breakthrough in his career-Schumacher made it at the 1995 rainy Grand Prix, winning after the start of the 16th position.
Max Ferstapppen
65 Victory, 44 Poles. Statistics: +21
(At the time of publication of the article)
Among the contemporary viewers of vehicles, it is difficult to find a person who would be neutral to Max Ferstappen. Some admire his racing talent and inaccuracy on the route, which is reminiscent of old school riders. Others, with condemnation, perceive the aggressive behavior of the Dutchman in the race and many of his statements outside the route.
However, his speeches speak for themselves. Max won the first victory in his debut race for the main team of Red Bull-at the 2016 Grand Prix of Spain, which only increased the effect of its increase to the main staff in the middle of the season.

Of course, it happened in many respects because Lewis Hamilton, who started from Pola, collided with his partner Nico Rossberg on the first round. However, 18-year-old Ferstapppen spent excellent races and withstood serious pressing by experienced Kimi Raikkonen in the fight for the first place.
By the time of Max’s first pole-at the Grand Prix of Hungary in 2019-he has already won seven stages. Although at the beginning of his career, the Dutchman had a reputation for an unreliable and even emergency pilot, he showed incredible speed at the time, regularly complicating his lives with faster carriers of Mercedes and Ferrari, and steadily several times a season with their victory.
By the time of transition to the “champion” stage of his career, Ferstapppen turned into a mature pilot who knows exactly how to lead the car, and the number of mistakes was minimized. In the period 2022-2023, the most frequent “victim” became Charles Lecler-the Dutchman won as many as Monegaska 11 times.

And according to most fans and experts, the Grand Prix of San Paulo is considered the best (at least for this moment). Then he started only the 17th, but even on the Red Bully, who lost speed, managed to break through the victory on the wet route. At the same time Lando Norris, who began the first race, finished only six.
Alen simple 51 Victory, 33 Poles. Statistics: +18
It so happens that in the eyes of most people, only superficially acquaintances with the history of Formula-1, Alan Syda is simply a “rival Irton Senna”. A number of factors – Brazilian’s media popularity due to the image “Bad The guy “, incredibly aggressive behavior, many loud nicknames and, in the end, the tragic death of the Senna on the track – led to the fact that the three -time champion became much more famous than four times.
At the same time, fans of the vehicle that study the pages of the past “royal race” in more detail, can still truly appreciate the French genius of the “golden era” of the 80’s-the legendary “Professor” Alena simple.
The 1986 season was a moment that was especially easy over other riders. Despite the serious lag of Mclarene from Williams at pure speed, thanks to heroic skill, cunning and, to some extent, Vesinity, Alan still pulled out the title from the hands of Nigel Mansell and Nelson Pique. By the way, that year, “Professor” only started from Pola once – to Monaco, while he had four victories.
And the feat, made in 1989, forever went down in the history of the vehicle. Not just became a champion – he won the title contrary to the desire of his team, which fully supported his partner – the above -mentioned Senna. There were simply no such cases in Formula-1. The “Professor” succeeded in conditions with which no racer did not cope with him or after.

However, the Frenchman’s career is not only famous for titles. In addition to the four championships, three times the simple was incredibly close to the desired result: in 1983, the engine burned down in 1983, in 1984, only 0.5 scores were not enough, and in 1988, Alen scored more than all points, but not all results were taken into account due to the controversial calculation system.
Of course, the story does not know the conditional way. But, just as Michael Schumacher, a decade later, in his era, Alen Simus was perceived by default as a formidable contender – a person who knew how to win, even if his car was weaker.
And since this article is primarily about numbers, it is worth mentioning the unique record of the Frenchman: as many as 13 times the simple won the race after the Senna’s pore. No other pair of pilots yet have such indicators. There were only four opposite cases – and they all happened in 1993.
Jackie Stuart
27 victories and 17 poles. Statistics: +10
Sir Jackie Stuart entered the history of Formula-1 as a three-time world champion, a fighter for the safety of motor vehicles and just a legend of the “heroic” era “of the royal race”.
Of the three titles of the Scottish racer, two deserve special attention. In 1969, it was difficult to compete with Lotus and Brebm on the car. However, at the long distance, Stuart realized his talent so well that he simply was not equal-in the first eight race he won six victories and ahead of schedule ahead of time he made a championship title three stages to the end, having more than twice the advantage over any other pilot.
And in the 1973 season there was an even more interesting situation. Both Jackie himself and the next participant in this Top – Emerson Fittipaldi, who fought for the championship, took only four poles for two.

At the same time, Ronny Peterson, who was in the third step of the personal standings, became a real “pilot of one circle” and as many as nine times showed the best time in qualification. However, on Sunday, the Swedes often went out of the distance, which was why the fight for the main trophy was not discussed.
Emerson Fittipaldi
14 victories, 6 poles. Statistics: +8
Emerson Fittipaldi is another person-legend of the “heroic” formula-1 era. And although the “arithmetic” difference in +8 does not look particularly impressive against the background of previous participants, the “relative” ratio of 2.33 is really impressive. According to this parameter, it exceeds all other multi -dumplings.
The Brazilian racer made his debut in the formula 1 in the middle of the 1970 season and in his fourth start won the first victory-at the Grand Prix of the United States. And in the period from 1972 to 1975, Fittipaldi was invariably among the contenders for the title: twice became the champion and twice more – the silver medalist of the season.
It is possible that Emerson could achieve much more success, even gain a few more titles and overshadow the glory of his countrymen from the 80’s. However, at the beginning of 1976, having subjected to family (and possibly patriotic) feelings, he went to the Brazilian team “Fittipaldi”, owned by his brother Wilson.
To say that it was a mistake means almost nothing. Over the next five years, Emerson only rose to the podium once, taking third place at the US Grand Prix in 1980. And in Mclaren’s abandoned in the first season, James Hunt became the new champion.
Fernando Alonso
32 Victories, 22 poles. Statistics are +10
Although Fernando Alonso is still in Formula-1, a whole generation of viewers who have not seen his years of glory has already grown-at least live. And only more mature fans remember his confrontation with Vettel, Schumacher and Raikkonen, and some – even the debut at the wheel of Minori, which is forever lagging behind, in 2001.

In 2003, Fernando moved to the Renault team, where his ascent began – “under the wing of the” chief “evil genius” of the Flavio Briator Motorsport, for which he became the second championship “pupil”. Together, they won two titles – in 2005 and 2006.
Although in zero in Fernando already had its own fan basket, the true popularity came to him later-a few years after two triumphs. The fact is that both championships have written down not so much the speed of Alonso, but on the technical problems of his rivals.
The main turning point in the reputation of Alonso was his seasons in Ferrari, where he went in 2010. By the way, many fans of Skuderia perceived this transfer very cool-too fresh were the memories of his confrontation with Schumacher in 2006, when the result of the struggle was decided by the burned motor of the German at the Grand Prix of Japan, and the Spaniard was very unethical.
However, the Italians still cheer for the team, not the pilots. Therefore, in the same 2010, almost all of the Monks greeted Fernando “as a native.” But not the belonging to Ferrari was the main reason why the Spaniard began to turn into a legend.
The fact is that then the era of Sebastian Vettel began and his invincible car, Red Bull, created by Edrian News.
In most qualifications, “bulls” were almost out of competition, but at the Fernando Radiation Distance Period But he was ahead of less experienced rivals. It was then that his statistics began to improve rapidly: in five years at the wheel of Red Alonso, Alonso won as many as 11 victories for only four poles.

Although it was not possible to become the Spanitz champion, it was incredibly close in the 2010 and 2012 seasons – only four and three points were enough, respectively. But much more important was: the despair with which Fernando fought for the title on deliberately weaker technology, few left someone indifferent. In 2012, Alonso began to respect and support even those who hated him in 2006.
Niki Lauda Although Nika Lauda has only +1 (25 victories and 24 poles), he got into this list thanks to his third title. In 1984, the Austrian became the world champion not just without any pools for the whole season-he never started from the first row at the time.

It should be noted that it was the peak of the so-called “turbora” in Formula 1. In addition to the fact that the powerful motors often failed, an important role was played by the fact that the approach to qualification and the race was needed radically different.
For a long distance, due to the limitation of the amount of fuel that already existed, the pilots had to significantly reduce the power of the engine. At the same time, the Turbomonster was full of force on one circle.
The title in that season fought two Pilots of Mclarene – Alen Simo and Nika Lauda, both famous for the ability to think strategically. And if the Frenchman was nicknamed “Professor”, then in 1984, he still looked rather by a student.
Lauda quickly realized that in his pure pilot, he had a chance against a simple one, and therefore went on a trick: he sacrificed qualifications, completely focusing on the race, adjusting the car. As a result, on Saturdays, he had never risen above third place, and sometimes ended up in the second ten. But on Sunday, Niki regularly carried out spectacular breakthroughs.

The 1984 season can be disassembled by episodes, but the fact remains: having won five victories without a single pole, Niki Lauda has become a world champion for the third time – with a minimal separation of 0.5 points from his partner.
Pilots, worthy mention This top consists of multi-dumplings, but among the one-time title of title there are several truly worthy pilots, which are famous for many victories after the start from the larger starting positions.
Jenson Batton(15 victories, 8 poles). The uniqueness of the British is that he gathered most of his fan basket after his title in the 2009 season at the wheel of Brown GP.
“Jenzonus proved to all” already in 2010-2012, speaking for McLaren, and also became famous as the “King of Rain Mights”. And even now, commentators often mention the legendary feeling of Button in difficult weather. During that period of time, in just one pole, the British won as many as eight wins, five of which on the wet asphalt.
Jodi Shekter(10 wins, 3 poles)-South African pilot has gone down in the history of Formula-1 for two reasons. First, in 1979 he became the last racer who won the Championship title for Skuderia for the life of Enzo Ferrari. And secondly, thanks to his victory on the six-wheeled Tirrell at the 1976 Sweden Grand Prix.
Alan Jones(12 wins, 6 poles) – Australian racer, who in 1980 became the world champion, overcoming in the struggle of Nelson Peak. It was the first title for Williams team.
Danny halm(8 wins, 1 pool) – New Zealander, who became the world champion of 1967 without a single pole for the whole season. The whole history of Formula-1 knows only two such titles: Halma and Nika Lauda.
Epilogue Of course, formula-1 races consist of many factors. In addition to pure speed, the result is often affected by the reliability of the car, the strategy, the operation of the machine with rubber, and sometimes – just luck.
However, when the pilot of victories is more than the poloes, and he regularly wins the race, starting from more distant positions – it gives his image an additional mice and emphasizes the talent of the riders. And yet – just pleases fans with beautiful statistics.
