My Take
André Lotterer is one of those drivers who never quite got the Formula One spotlight he deserved, but honestly his career résumé is jaw-dropping anyway — three Le Mans 24 Hours victories with Audi, a Formula Nippon title, back-to-back Super GT championships in Japan, and a long stint in Formula E where he was consistently one of the sharpest qualifiers on the grid. He built his reputation in Japan during the 2000s when European drivers who went east were often underestimated, and he just quietly dominated. His one Formula One start at Spa in 2014 as a late Caterham substitute was chaotic and short-lived, which is a shame, because anyone who watched him in endurance racing knows he has serious pace and ice-cool race management. A genuinely underrated all-rounder.
