Autosport Podcast: Top 10 Lotus F1 drivers ranked
Lotus remains one of the most illustrious names in motorsport and will always be an iconic member of Formula 1's history despite leaving the series almost 30 years ago.
The tally of seven constructors’ and six drivers’ titles doesn’t reveal the innovation of Colin Chapman’s team, while many great drivers raced Lotus machinery between its F1 arrival in 1958 and Team Lotus folding in 1994.
We’ve considered the amount of success the drivers scored with Lotus, the impact they had on the team and the circumstances of their time there. We didn’t include their achievements at other teams and have excluded the ‘Lotus’ era at the Enstone team, which later became Renault/Alpine.
Autosport chief editor Kevin Turner returns with the latest top 10 list and in the final part of our new podcast series he is joined by Autosport F1 editor Matt Kew and Autosport Grand Prix editor and host Alex Kalinauckas. You can also read the full top 10 list here.
