Five things you need to know about the United States GP

3. Michael Schumacher rules America

Michael Schumacher remains the driver to beat with 5 wins at the United States GP.

This is one record that Sebastian Vettel will need some time to break. Michael Schumacher by far remains the most successful driver at the United States GP with 5 wins. He won in the year 2000 and from 2003 to 2006. The other successful drivers include Jim Clark(1962,1966-67) and Graham Hill(1963-65) with three wins each. Lewis Hamilton is the most successful driver in the current line up with two United States GP wins(2007 at Indianapolis and 2012 at Austin). However, despite a heavy representation from the United States in Formula One, a US driver is yet to win the home Grand Prix. There is no driver from the country on the current set of drivers and the last driver to represent United States in a Formula One race was Scott Speed in 2007.

Ferrari remains ahead in the constructor’s race with 9 wins in the United States followed by Mclaren and Lotus with 8.
