Although occasionally pay driver are amongst labelled as "unworthy" for an F1 ride, many of the pay drivers in F1 today come with occasional success in their individual races in lower formulas. Sergio Pérez, Pastor Maldonado, Marcus Ericsson, Felipe Nasr, Esteban Gutiérrez, Rio Haryanto, Will Stevens, Jolyon Palmer, Lance Stroll, and Nicholas Latifi are all race winners during their times at the feeder series with Pastor Maldonado and Lance Stroll winning GP2 and F3 European Championship respectively. Maldonado would cement his place in Formula One history with a win at the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix as the first Venezuelan to win in F1 with what became the only pole, podium, and win of his career. It was also the first win for Williams since 2004. Pérez would finally be victorious in F1 with his first win at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix.
