Schumacher currently holds the top spot in this metric with 51 wins secured from a grid position other than pole.

Lewis Hamilton, who, like Schumacher, boasts seven world titles and is already the record holder for total wins, has claimed 45 such victories. Four-time world champion Max Verstappen sits third in this ranking with 34 wins.

This year, Hamilton secured his first victory as a Ferrari driver, showcasing excellent adaptation to the new generation of Formula 1 cars, which no longer rely on ground effect and feature more traditional aerodynamic packages.
