Schumacher won the 1994 and 1995 titles with Benetton before winning five in a row for Ferrari from 2000 to 2004.

Hamilton won his first title for McLaren in 2008 before winning six titles with Mercedes (2014, 2015 and between between 2017 and 2020).

The Brit who will drive for Ferrari in 2025 could have won his eighth title in 2021. However, a controversial ending handed Max Verstappen his first championship.

Verstappen will look to tie Juan Manuel Fangio by winning his fifth title in 2025 – which would put him only behind Schumacher and Hamilton.
