T9) Niki Lauda – 25

With 25 Grand Prix wins to his name, Lauda sneaks into the top 10 alongside Jim Clark. He will be remembered as a true icon of motorsport.

He was crowned world champion on three separate occasions and ranks as one of the best drivers in Formula 1 history.

Modern F1 fans know Lauda from his role as non-executive chairman of Mercedes but his impact on the track will live long in the memory.

T9) Jim Clark – 25

With 25 wins from just 73 Grand Prix entries, Clark has one of the best win ratios in Formula One.

Clark won two F1 world titles in 1963 and 1965 and he is the first name to spring to mind when you think of the Lotus Formula One team.

At the time of his tragic death in 1968, Clark had won more Grand Prix races and recorded more pole positions than any of his peers.

8) Jackie Stewart – 27

Stewart burst onto the scene in 1965, finishing third in the Drivers’ Championship standings in his rookie season. From his debut in South Africa, he looked destined for greatness.

Finishing on the podium in nearly half of his races, Stewart was a pillar of consistency and he is arguably the most talented F1 driver to hail from Scotland.

Stewart had decided to retire prior to the 1973 campaign but went out on a high, clinching an incredible third world title.

7) Nigel Mansell – 31

It took Mansell almost five years to record his first Grand Prix triumph but it was well worth the wait – his performance at Brands Hatch in 1985 was outstanding.

He consistently ranks amongst the greatest ever F1 drivers in polls around the world and his 1992 World Championship success was very emotional.

Following that success, Mansell went on to claim the CART Indy Car World Series in 1993 and he is one of the only British drivers to complete this double.

6) Fernando Alonso – 32

Alonso is a household name for F1 fans and the Spaniard was arguably more talented than some of the drivers who are above him on this list.

The two-time world champion had to compete with the likes of Schumacher, Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel during his career so 32 Grand Prix wins is some feat.

Now retired, his legacy was impacted slightly by a disappointing finish to his career. Alonso left the sport in 2018 after recording his 32nd and final Grand Prix win back in 2013.

5) Ayrton Senna – 41

Senna influenced the sport in so many ways and the Brazilian will go down in history as one of the greatest ever F1 drivers.

With 80 podiums from his 161 Grand Prix starts, Senna’s record speaks for itself – and he even turned 41 of those podium finishes into Formula One victories.

Senna won three world titles during his career before his tragic death in 1994. To this day, it remains one of the worst moments in Formula One history but his legacy will live on forever.

4) Alain Prost – 51

Prost and Senna were involved in one of Formula One’s most shocking moments at Suzuka in 1989 but that incident highlighted just how competitive both men were.

The Frenchman went on to record 51 Grand Prix wins, claiming four world titles in a truly magnificent career. He finished his time in F1 with an impressive 25% win rate.

You don’t find too many drivers who walk away, return to the sport and then win a world title but that is exactly what Prost did when he joined Williams in 1993. What a man.

3) Sebastian Vettel – 53

Vettel was a destructive force in Formula One during his time at Red Bull Racing, winning the world title in four successive years at the beginning of the 2010s.

His most impressive achievement is his record of nine consecutive Grand Prix victories. The Red Bull star was untouchable during the 2013 season, putting together an unprecedented run of Grand Prix triumphs.

While the German has failed to add to his tally of world titles, he has climbed above Prost in terms of Grand Prix wins – therefore cementing his status as an all-time F1 great.

2) Michael Schumacher – 91

Schumacher leads the way with seven world titles and the Ferrari legend has a special place in the sport. Even if Hamilton breaks his records, Schumacher may be regarded as the best F1 driver of all-time.

He either leads or has led most of Formula One’s top records and he finished his career with an astounding 155 podium finishes.

To this day, Schumacher is still talked about as the best – with Hamilton himself stating that the German is the one they all have to emulate.

1) Lewis Hamilton – 93

Arguably the most naturally gifted driver ever to race in Formula One, Hamilton has been a dominant figure on the racetrack throughout his career.

Hamilton has been involved in some of F1’s greatest rivalries over the years, with titanic clashes with Vettel and Nico Rosberg taking centre of attention in the sport.

With Schumacher's tally of 91 Grand Prix wins now eclipsed, the Brit can focus on matching the German's record of seven world titles.

10) Bryant-Denny Stadium – 100,077

The Bryant-Denny Stadium, home of the Alabama Crimson Tide, is the fourth-largest in its conference.

First opened in 1929, the stadium was named Denny Stadium until 1975 when the surname of Paul Bryant, a longtime head coach of Alabama, was added to its title. Bryant owned a 72-3 record as head coach at the stadium.

Despite its reputation, Bryant-Denny Stadium wasn’t the site of many of Alabama’s greatest moments.

Legion Field, a stadium with a bigger capacity through the middle of the last century, was used for many of Crimson Tide’s high-profile home games.

The stadium’s biggest official capacity was reached in 2010 at just shy of 102,000. Redevelopments in 2020 shaved off almost 2,000 seats.

9) Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium – 100,119

The current capacity of Darrell K Royal Stadium is actually around the 95,000 mark while they work on expansion, but we’ve generously given it the nod for its official capacity. The stadium has a record attendance of 103,507.

Home of the Texas Longhorns, this venue has had a string of different, albeit very similar, names. It was the War Memorial Stadium from 1924 to ’47, then Memorial Stadium, then Texas Memorial Stadium.

In 2020, it was announced a statue of Julius Whittier, the school’s first black football letterman, would be erected outside the stadium.

8) Tiger Stadium – 102,321

The inventively named Tiger Stadium is the home stadium of the LSU Tigers.

It is often referred to as Death Valley – an appropriate name for a home fortress in which the Tigers have won over 70% of their games.

Like every stadium in this article, Tiger Stadium has been expanded over and over. It had just a 12,000 capacity when it was first used in 1924 – 10,000 seats were added just seven years later, and the capacity was at almost 60,000 by 1953.

7) Neyland Stadium – 102,455

Named after Robert Neyland, who had three stints as head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers, Neyland Stadium’s current capacity is not the largest its ever been.

Along the stadium’s timeline, and its 14 renovations, it briefly had a capacity of over 104,000.

From 1921 until 1962, it was known as Shield-Watkins Field. That’s now the name of the playing surface, which switched back to grass from AstroTurf in 1994.

6) Kyle Field – 102,733

Home of the Texas A&M Aggies in one form or another since 1904, Kyle Field is the largest stadium in the Southeastern Conference and the fourth-biggest in the NCAA. It has an attendance record north of 110,000.

The Aggies made Kyle Field a ferocious place to visit in the 1990s, contributing to a winning percentage of 93.2%.

They have dropped off slightly since the turn of the century, but they still own an impressive record at the stadium since it was constructed in 1927.

5) Ohio Stadium – 102,780

Already an impressive venue when first opened, Ohio Stadium’s original capacity was 66,210. That has grown over the years, with the Ohio State Buckeyes now owning the fifth-biggest stadium in the world.

Previously used for athletics, Ohio Stadium’s primary purpose has been hosting the Buckeyes, but it has more recently become a concert venue with high-profile acts performing there, including Taylor Swift and U2.

The Bosa brothers are just two of the NFL stars who were roared on by the Buckeyes faithful at Ohio Stadium.

4) Beaver Stadium – 106,572

Beaver Stadium is the home of the Penn State Nittany Lions. It has been so since 1960, when its capacity was around 47,000.

Expansions have been frequent over the decades, with the stadium reaching a peak capacity of 107,282 following a 2001 renovation.

The atmosphere at Beaver Stadium is hostile and ground-shakingly loud. It has won awards for being the toughest stadium for college athletes to play at.

3) Michigan Stadium – 107,601

While the listed capacity is under 108,000, Michigan Stadium (brilliantly nicknamed The Big House) has registered attendances of over 115,000.

It has the title of being the biggest stadium in the USA. Beyond being the home of the Wolverines, Michigan Stadium has been used for exhibition soccer matches, ice hockey games and political events. It owns several attendance records.

Real Madrid and Manchester United met in a 2014 friendly, which had the most spectators for a soccer match in the USA.

2) Sardar Patel Stadium – 110,000

Top of the largest cricket stadiums list, Sardar Patel Stadium is India’s only representative on this list and the only stadium to host cricket matches. Melbourne Cricket Ground just missed out by 53 seats.

Demolished in 2015, Sardar Patel was completely rebuilt for 2020, taking its capacity to 110,000, over double what it was previously.

It will be a venue for international matches for all three formats and will occasionally pop up in the football odds.

1) Rungrado 1st of May Stadium – 114,000

Located in Pyongyang, Rungrado May Day Stadium is a multi-purpose venue and the largest stadium in the world.

Football matches and athletics are held at Rungrado 1st of May Stadium as well as the Arirang Festival.

It has also been used for political functions, including Kim Jong-un hosting Xi Jinping to a gymnastics and artistic performance in July 2019.
