Autosport Retro

Telling the forgotten stories and unearthing the hidden gems from years gone by.

Formula 1 cars are very reliable now – even when new rules arrive – but there have been plenty of drivers robbed of victory over the 75 years of the world championship and we’ve decided to pick out the best unrewarded efforts.

The circumstances of the defeat and how late the drama occurred have also been considered, as well as the overall quality of the drive itself and the significance of the failure. Autosport’s F1 reporter Stuart Codling and author and journalist Damien Smith join forces to assess host Kevin Turner’s ranking. What did he get right and wrong?
