Ranking the Top 10 German Racing Drivers in Formula 1 History | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Wolfgang von Trips won two races in his career—both in his final season.

In that year, 1961, Ferrari produced a dominant car, and von Trips battled Phil Hill all season for the Drivers' Championship. At the second-to-last race of the year, the Italian Grand Prix, von Trips and Jim Clark collided, sending the Ferrari into the crowd where the German driver and 14 spectators were killed.

Hill won the race and the championship, while no German driver would surpass von Trips' two wins until 1994, when Michael Schumacher scored his third victory.
