I'm not sure who this is meant to annoy, fanboys of Jimmy Clark or Sebastian Vettel.
The thing is that qualifying just wasn't that important in the 1960s. Racing was important though and here we find that Innes and Jimmy raced together 23 times for Team Lotus in Formula One
with Innes winning 4 races with 3 seconds and a third, while Jimmy
managed a second place and two thirds.
And for those who argue that Jimmy was just getting quicker, well in their last seven races together, after Innes returned from his
Monaco tunnel crash, Ireland took 3 wins against a best finish of fourth
for Clark - this without any team orders.
