On Sunday in Mexico, Lewis Hamilton joined an elite club of five drivers who have won the world title on four or more occasions. But which of them is the best of the bunch? Find out a little more about the other four and then have your say...

Juan Manuel Fangio

Many consider him to be the greatest driver of all time. In seven full Formula 1 seasons (he missed one recovering from a nearly fatal injury) he was world champion five times (with four different teams) and runner-up twice. In his 51 championship Grands Prix he started from the front row 48 times (including 29 pole positions) and set 23 fastest race laps en route to 35 podium finishes, 24 of them victories.

Sebastian Vettel

The youngest ever world champion's accumulation of age-related records that began in 2010 continued for four consecutive seasons, culminating in a one-sided 2013 title triumph that confirmed his status as one of the sport’s all-time greats. Sebastian Vettel’s first championship, at the age of 23, provided a surprise ending to an intensely competitive 2010 campaign - and a glimpse of what was to come...
