Today Pastor Maldonado won the Spanish Grand Prix. His race engineer is Xevi Pujolar.

Who is the race engineer with the most wins? Has anyone a list or perhaps the top 5 or top 10?

But no one with a list?

In Valencia the race engineer on the podium who collected the prize for the winning constructor worked with all three guys on the podium: Alonso, Räikkönen and Schumacher!

You may be following a false premise. The title Personal Race Engineer is one bestowed by the Team in recent years in big teams. In a 1960s team, we can assume that the relationship between drivers and Chief Mechanic was significant; there was only one Chief Mechanic. In a modern team there are multiple hierarchies and the driver has to establish technical and social relationships with many people. The person who makes the most difference may not necessarily be the Personal Race Engineer.
