Tay đua F1 nhanh nhất với 25 chiến thắng cuộc đua
Trong suốt những năm qua, đã có rất nhiều huyền thoại F1.
The likes of Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso are current stalwarts of the sport and there have been some superb drivers before them too.
Jim Clark isn’t a name that would necessarily ring bells as others do for younger fans, say Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, but he stands above them all when it comes to one particular stat.
Jim Clark was a Scottish driver who solely operated for the Lotus team in his time in F1. It wasn’t just F1 for him, though, as he went back-and-forth between motorsports, also competing in the iconic Indy500.
He became one of the most accomplished and influential Formula One drivers of all time. Clark’s exceptional driving skills and his gentlemanly demeanor made him a beloved figure both on and off the track.
Clark’s career in Formula One spanned from the late 1950s to the early 1960s. He achieved remarkable success, winning the World Championship in 1963 and 1965. His driving style was characterised by precision, finesse, and an innate ability to extract the maximum performance from any car he raced. Clark’s talent and adaptability allowed him to master various racing disciplines, including Formula One, touring cars, and even rallying.
Beyond his championships, Clark’s record is adorned with numerous accolades. His dominance on the track was unmatched during his era, leaving a lasting impact on the sport.
Unfortunately, Clark’s career was cut tragically short. On April 7, 1968, while participating in a Formula Two race at Hockenheim, he lost control of his car and succumbed to the injuries sustained in the crash. His untimely death sent shockwaves through the motorsport community, mourning the loss of a true legend.
Jim Clark’s legacy endures to this day. He is remembered not only for his extraordinary driving ability but also for his sportsmanship and humility. His influence on subsequent generations of racers is undeniable, and his name is forever etched in the annals of motorsport history as one of the greatest drivers of all time.
The focus of this article is about the positives surrounding Clark’s name, though, and he boasts a very impressive statistic. Still to this day, he is the fastest driver to ever reach 25 race wins, taking just 45 outings to do so.
Có một cảm giác rộng hơn rằng chúng ta không thấy đủ Clark trong hành động và điều đó được nhấn mạnh khi bạn nhìn vào những cái tên theo sau anh ấy trong thống kê cụ thể này.
Người tiếp theo là Brit Jackie Stewart, tham gia 54 cuộc đua để đạt được thành tích tương tự. Schumacher (62), Senna (65), Prost (67) và Vettel (77), tất cả đều đã được đề cập trước đó, là những cái tên tiếp theo trong danh sách càng nói lên sự tuyệt vời của Clark sau tay lái.
Thứ chín và thứ 10 trong danh sách là hai ứng cử viên nặng ký hiện tại với Hamilton tham gia 112 cuộc đua và kẻ thù năm 2021 của anh ấy Max Verstappen theo sát phía sau với 118 cuộc đua.
Kỷ lục của Clark gần như khiến cả hai phải xấu hổ!
