Ask Steven - Which driver has won Grands Prix in the most amount of different cars?

Which driver has won Grands Prix in the most amount of different cars? asked Alex Browne

Britain's own Stirling Moss holds this record with five, winning GPs while driving for Maserati, Mercedes, Vanwall, Cooper and Lotus.

Alain Prost won GPs in four different types of car (Renault, McLaren, Ferrari and Williams) which matched the achievement of Juan Manuel Fangio (Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Maserati and Mercedes) and Jackie Stewart (BRM, March, Matra and Tyrrell).

Eleven other men have won races for three different constructors, including current drivers Fernando Alonso (Renault, McLaren, Ferrari), Jenson Button (Honda, Brawn, McLaren), Kimi Raikkonen (McLaren, Ferrari, Lotus) and Sebastian Vettel (Toro Rosso, Red Bull, Ferrari).

Moss actually drove ten different makes of car in GPs, as did Andrea de Cesaris and Jacky Ickx, while Stefan Johansson and Maurice Trintignant campaigned in 11 different cars.

But the clear leader in this particular list is the New Zealander Chris Amon, who drove no fewer than 14 different cars during his career, in a vain search for a race win: BRM, Brabham, Cooper, Ensign, Ferrari, Lola, Lotus, McLaren, March, Matra, Tecno, Tyrrell, Williams ... and his own short-lived Amon team.
