Cliff ALLISON

Cliff Allison was a British Formula 1 driver active from 1958. Over 17 World Championship Grands Prix, he secured 11 points and achieved one podium finish without recording any wins or pole positions. Allison competed for teams including Lotus-Climax, Ferrari, and Team Lotus, concluding his career with Lotus-Climax.

Despite a relatively brief career span, Allison maintained a 0.0% retirement rate, completing every race he entered. His podium rate stood at 5.9%, reflecting limited top-three finishes, while his average positions gained per race was +3.88, indicating consistent progress during races. No victories or podiums were recorded in wet conditions.

Allison's career statistics highlight reliability and steady racecraft rather than outright race wins. His zero DNF rate over 17 races is notable in the context of the era's mechanical challenges. However, the absence of wins and a single podium suggest he was not among the leading drivers of his time.
