Hill and Rosberg made their mark with Williams and Mercedes

In 1996, Hill secured the title at the Japanese Grand Prix. It was also his final win for Williams, as he left the team after the season.
Rosberg made his Formula 1 debut with Williams at the 2006 Bahrain Grand Prix and joined Mercedes for 2010. His first victory came at the 2012 Chinese Grand Prix, followed by the first of his three Monaco wins in 2013. Nine victories in 2016, including his last at the Japanese Grand Prix, secured the title before he retired.
Clark’s Lotus career and Mansell’s three Williams spells
Clark drove Lotus throughout his Formula 1 career, from 1960 until his death in a Formula 2 race at Hockenheim in 1968. His first Grand Prix win came in Belgium in 1962. He won the 1963 title with seven victories from 10 races and earned a second championship in 1965 with six wins. His final Formula 1 victory was at the 1968 season opener in South Africa.
Mansell’s 28 victories for Williams came across three spells with the team, the most wins for the Grove-based outfit, according to Formula 1.
