&lt;b&gt;Juan Manuel Fangio (Argentina): 29&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The man who held most of the F1 records for several decades is at No.6. At 55.8%, he has the best conversion rate in F1 history, with 29 poles in 52 races.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Fangio&#39;s last pole position came at the 1958 Argentine Grand Prix, the opening race of the season, and also his home race. He unfortunately finished only 4th in the GP.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; He raced sparsely during the season and finally bid adieu to the sport, mid-season, after the French Grand Prix. The Argentine had won the last of his 5 F1 titles in the previous season in 1957.
