Having a perfect overall performance at the challenging 2010 Belgian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton have shown that he is one of the best Grand Prix drivers ever .

The blended Belgian weather conditions at Spa-Francorchamps – that could change quickly and indicate various behaviors at various parts of the circuit – didn’t deter Lewis Hamilton from opening up a considerable lead in the race.

Because of a late call to change to wet weather tires as the rain intensified towards the end, he nearly missed the barriers. He didn’t let second-placed Mark Webber steal the lead following the final security car period, proving astonishing maturity to keep it all in hand.

German born F1 pilots are on blitzkrieg in the coming Hockenheim Grand Prix on July 25. There are actually 6 F1 pilots coming from Germany and 5 of them can easily realise championship on their home turf.

Leading the field is Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel who perceives the Hockenheim battle an extremely special event for him to prove his point as the man to conquer in F1. Germany’s illustrious F1 son Michael Schumacher is arriving back home after his retirement to battle and redeem his stature as one of F1′s legend.

Born April 17th, 1954 in Padua, Italy, Riccardo Patrese is a ex – racing motorist who raced in Formula One from 1977 to 1993. Patrese became the very first Formula One motorist to achieve over 200 Grand Prix starts when he made an appearance at the 1990 British Grand Prix, as well as the very first to accomplish 250 starts at the 1993 German Grand Prix.

It was Brazil in 08 when one of the team’s scarlet vehicles last led away the field, together with Alonso securing this particular honour ahead of tomorrow’s Italian Grand Prix, driving the fans crazy at Monza. Alonso is joined on the front row by McLaren’s reigning winner Jenson Button who finished zero. 122 secs adrift as his last flying lap was not quite enough.

This means there isn’t Red Bull on the front line the very first time in eighteen races along with Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel forced to settle for 4th and 6th, sandwiching championship leader in McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton in 5th.

The repeated victories of several Formula 1 drivers have contributed to them being identified as the most memorable drivers of all time. Looking back at the all-time F1 scores, we have managed to make a top with the five greatest World Champions.

The first place is undoubtedly attributed to the Brazilian Ayrton Senna who won 41 Formula 1 contests and started 65 races from pole position. Speed is the main reason why F1 fans have always appreciated Senna; he was in fact capable of driving at remarkably fast speeds even during wet conditions. Unfortunately he passed away in 1994 during a car race.

The British racing legends made history over a decade ago with the fastest production car ever made, their iconic F1. They built just 106 of the hyper cars but Chairman Ron Dennis has a striking statement to make “Since 1966, when McLaren first raced in F1, 106 teams have come and gone – and that tells me that if we stay solely as an F1 team it will lead to extinction.” Their latest creation, the MP4-12C is not just an attempt to experiment with new driving technology, but to fight off the curse that has fallen so many of their racing rivals.
