Juan Manuel Fangio dominated Formula 1 from 1950 - 1957. Winning 5 times, coming second twice and missing a complete season. His record of 24 wins from 51 races is unlikely to be equalled. The nearest any driver has come is Jim Clark with 25 wins from 72 races. Senna took 110 races to eclipse the mark set by Fangio.
