1967 Formula One season

The 1967 Formula One season was the 18th season of FIA Formula One motor racing. It featured the 1967 World Championship of Drivers and the 1967 International Cup for F1 Manufacturers,^[1] contested concurrently over an eleven race series which commenced on January 2, 1967, and ended on October 22. The season also included a number of non-championship races for Fomula One cars.

Season summary

At the Dutch Grand Prix, Lotus unveiled the new Ford-sponsored Cosworth DFV engine which was to be one of the outstanding racing engines of all time, winning 155 grand prix, Le Mans and Indianapolis. Although Jim Clark won four races, Denny Hulme took the title by virtue of his greater consistency. At Monza, Clark pitted to replace a tyre, made up a lap to retake the lead, only to run out of fuel on the last lap; a drive that confirmed his status as one of the all-time greats. Dan Gurney's Eagle won its only victory, and Pedro Rodríguez gave Cooper their last win in a dramatic South African Grand Prix in which local driver John Love came close to victory in his outdated Cooper-Climax.

Historically, he is the first of only two drivers to have ever won the title without achieving a single pole position in the season. Only Niki Lauda managed to repeat this feat in 1984.
