Graham Hill (1958-1959, 1967-1969)

After the tragic death of Jim Clark, his teammate Graham Hill rallied the squad and won the 1968 Drivers’ Championship and Team Lotus won the Constructors’ Championship.

In 1968 Hill won three of the 14-races he entered and also garnered six podium finishes. It was by far his greatest season with Team Lotus as he only mustered one other win in five seasons with Colin Chapman’s outfit.
