#5 Takuma Sato - 2017
The most recent Indy 500 saw former F1 driver Takuma Sato take his first Indy 500 win. Having spent eight seasons in Formula One, Sato was a mainstay for Jordan and then BAR Honda, and finally with Super Aguri before leaving to Indycar at the end of 2008.

While Sato only managed one podium in his Formula One career, his aggressive driving style and long tenure made him a fan favorite.
While the eyes of the world were on fellow F1 superstar Fernando Alonso in 2017, Sato shocked the world by taking an impressive Underdog win at the Indy 500 at the age of 40.
Only leading 17 laps out of the 200, Sato had a tough race, duelling with Alonso, Max Chilton, Helio Castroneves and others to power his car to the top spot.
