He won the Formula 1 world championship three times, held the record for the most F1 race wins for 14 years and survived one of the sport's most perilous eras.

Founded by W.O. Bentley in 1919, Britain's world-famous luxury marque is known for its cars, its endurance racing success and its long-running relationship with Rolls-Royce.

Lotus has revealed its competitor to the Porsche 718 Cayman – the future stability of the marque rests on its shoulders, but there's good reason to believe it'll be a hit.

Can electric cars ever be genuinely fun to drive the way the best combustion engine cars are? Dan thinks he's figured it out, but Andrew is going to take some convincing.
