Former Formula 1 drivers Rubens Barrichello and Jean Alesi are making the headline news these days as they turn their first laps around the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedeway.
But this is not the first time that former or active F1 drivers are competing in the 500 Miles of Indianapolis.
Several Grand Prix drivers tried their best to win the most prestigious race held in America.
Here are the photos of the most famous F1 drivers who have contested the Indy 500, billed as “
The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” held on Memorial Day weekend. Note that this is not the complete list of F1 drivers who contested the Indy 500.
