Jim Clark won 25 races and achieved 33 pole positions during his time in Formula One before he sadly passed away at just the age of 32 after an accident in Germany in 1968.

Before his death, 25 race wins and 33 pole positions was the highest for an F1 driver, way before the future generations of Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton would eclipse stats like that.

In reflection to Clark's F1 career, the Briton could have added more world championships to the two he won in 1963 and 1965.

But it is an argument that would never be settled.

Clark raised the standard for future racers to beat and in 2009 The Times ranked the double world champion as the greatest F1 driver of all time.

Something that can be argued ten years since a newspaper's ranking was published but anyone that changes the aspect of a sport for the greater good should never be overlooked.
