Jim Clark

Twenty-five Grands Prix from 72 starts, along with 33 pole positions, 32 podiums and 28 fastest laps. At the time of his death in 1968 he held the Formula 1 records for all three of wins, poles and fastest laps.

Two, in 1963 and 1965, both with Team Lotus. He was also runner-up in 1962 and third in 1964 and 1967, losing the 1962 and 1964 titles to mechanical failures in the final race of each season.

One. Clark raced for Team Lotus for the whole of his Formula 1 career, from his debut at the 1960 Dutch Grand Prix to his final race in South Africa in 1968.

He was killed on 7 April 1968 in a Formula 2 race at Hockenheim in West Germany. His Lotus left the track on the fifth lap and hit trees; a tyre failure was the accepted cause. He was thirty-two, and was leading the World Championship at the time.

Yes, in 1965 with Lotus. He was the first non-American to win the race in 49 years, and it came in the same season as his second Formula 1 title.

The most grand slams — pole position, race win, fastest lap and leading every lap of the same race — with eight. His records for most wins stood until 1973, and those for poles and fastest laps until 1989.

He won the Formula 1 World Championship, the Indianapolis 500, the Tasman Series, and both the French and British Formula 2 titles in the same year. No other driver has won multiple championships in the same season as a Formula 1 title.

A farmer from the Scottish Borders who never intended to race for a living. He disliked press conferences, was uncomfortable as a public figure and bit his fingernails, and was described by those who knew him as unassuming and reluctant in exactly the measure he was dominant in the car.
