Read on to find out which driver has won the most Formula One races without ever claiming a world championship.
There is no greater triumph in motorsport than being named the Formula One World Drivers' Champion, with the list of winners including some of the most illustrious names ever to get behind the wheel.
In order to be awarded the greatest honour at the FIA Prize Giving Ceremony however, drivers have to maintain an impressive level of consistency throughout the season to edge out all challenges and sit atop of the standings.
Many drivers who have been able to experience the thrill of reigning supreme at a Grand Prix never managed to go as far as being named world champion, but who has the most wins without ever reaching the pinnacle of the sport?
During his decade-long stint in Formula One Sir Stirling Ross enjoyed sustained success, winning 16 of his 66 starts between 1951 and 1961.
However, despite his performances on the track the Briton was unable to claim world champion status, coming closest in 1958 when he finished just one point behind longtime rival Mike Hawthorn - with a famous incident between the pair at the Portuguese Grand Prix that year embodying Moss' sense of professionalism.
In terms of current drivers, Valtteri Bottas holds the distinction of having the most race wins without ever being named world champion.
Since making his F1 debut in 2013 the 36-year-old has claimed 10 race wins but has never taken the title, finishing second to team-mate Lewis Hamilton in both 2019 and 2020.
