cmpeonato Review of the year 62, which enshrines the British Graham Hill.
1962 would see the birth of power British F-1 during the 60's both as teams, and pilots and the birth of two racing legends Jim Clark and Graham Hill. The first Lotus driver for a couple of seasons, finally had the model 25 of the brand founded by Colin Chapman, a model designed as a monohull that gave him a tremendous rigidity and that would mark much of the design guidelines in subsequent years.
The second great hope of BRM, had now at last with a V8 engine that would be the most powerful of the F-1 until 1966, although the car itself was not the most stable. Fashion V8 engines this season jumped substantially in almost all the teams, except Ferrari who suffered a major drain of engineers to the new German team and held a mechanical ATS earlier, losing ground would not recover until 1964.
The season started with different winners in the Netherlands (Hill), Monaco (McLaren), Belgium (Clark) and France (Gurney), the latter being the first and only victory for Porsche as its own team in Formula 1. The last five races were a constant duel between Clark and Hill. Clark took the lead in the British Grand Prix and Hill lunged for the championship with two victories at the Nurburgring and Monza.
The U.S. GP Glenn Watkins United saw a titanic struggle between Scotland and London that ended in favor of the first, Clark by nine seconds ahead. The world would be decided in the circuit of East London (South Africa) the penultimate day of the year (December 29). Clark was world champion for 61 of the 82 laps of the race until an oil leak gave the title to Hill.
Perhaps the word "give" is here just because Hill had lost earlier this year, the Monaco Grand Prix with a fault in similar circumstances, and certainly had earned the victory as they come.
