#4 Juan Manuel Fangio
In his nine-year-long stint in Formula One racing, Juan Manuel Fangio competed in 51 races and attained nine hat-tricks.
Apart from his first world championship which came in 1951, the other four came consecutively from 1954 to 1957. Only Michael Schumacher holds more championship titles than the Argentinian.
1950 Monaco Grand Prix was the first race Fangio ever won, and he did so in style by also bagging a hat-trick to go with the win.
It is fortuitous that his final hat-trick also coincided with his last ever win as a Formula One driver which came in 1957 during the German Grand Prix.
