1962 Lotus 25: Ferrari Laughed at the British Car Built Like a Bathtub -Then They Made Them Obsolete

In 1962, Colin Chapman rolled out a Formula One car with no chassis tubes at all, just two riveted aluminium boxes with a driver lying between them. The paddock called it a bathtub. Ferrari called Lotus garage men. Within two seasons, every team on the grid was copying it, and Ferrari won their next title with a car built the same way. This is the story of the Lotus 25, the secret build behind a locked door in Cheshunt, Jim Clark's near miss in South Africa, the seven-win season of 1963, and how a car they laughed at became the blueprint for every Formula One car built since. Which leap of engineering genius tops it? Tell me in the comments. I go through every single one.
