World Champions and Race Winners
Since the first season in 1950 Germany has produced two F1 World Drivers' Champions. The first title did not come until 1994 when Michael Schumacher claimed his first of seven championship victories. Sebastian Vettel is the second German drivers' champion, winning back-to-back titles in 2010, 2011, and 2012. There have been seven race winners from Germany, with Michael Schumacher having by far the most victories. Vettel has 26 wins to date. Ralf Schumacher won six grand prix and Heinz-Harald Frentzen won three. Wolfgang von Trips, who became the first German driver to win a grand prix, won two races both of which were in 1961. Nico Rosberg and Jochen Mass have both won one race each.

Why plowing, building, ruling and the rest,

By cursed Cain’s race invented be,
And blest Seth vexed us with Astronomie.”
