Even though Lewis Hamilton’s accomplishments are unparalleled, he is not the leading Brit on this list. That distinction belongs to Jim Clark, another immensely rapid driver who departed from the sport too soon.
With a win percentage of 34.72%, Clark stands at third place on the all-time list, giving younger generations who did not witness his excellence an impression of the Scottish driver’s velocity.
Clark raced for nine F1 seasons with Team Lotus and achieved 25 victories in only 72 starts. He won seven out of the ten races in the 1963 season, clinching his first title and repeating it two years later.
Clark savored Grand Prix triumphs for seven continuous seasons, from 1962 to his passing in 1968 at the age of 32, while driving a Formula 2 car at the Hockenheimring.
