Season summary

Ferrari were completely eclipsed in 1962, partly as a result of internal upheavals, partly because the British team had made great progress. BRM finally came good with Graham Hill taking the championship relatively easily. Dan Gurney gave Porsche their only grand prix win at Rouen, and Cooper won their last race until 1966. Lola made their first of their sporadic forays into grand prix racing, and Jack Brabham emerged as a constructor, scoring his first points in his own car. Stirling Moss, one of the great drivers, crashed heavily before the championship season begun and never raced in grand prix again. He remained the most successful English driver in terms of wins until 1991 when Nigel Mansell overtook him, after competing in many more races. Ricardo Rodriguez became the youngest driver to score championship points with his forth place in Belgium (20 years, 123 days), a record which stood for 38 years before Jenson Button, aged 23 years, 67 days, broke it at the 2000 Brazilian Grand Prix. Norman Graham Hill, known as Graham Hill, was an English motor racing champion (born February 15, 1929 in Hampstead, London - died November 29, 1975 near Arkley, North London) He is the only driver to win the so-called Triple Crown of motor racing: the Indianapolis 500 (1966) the 24 Hours...
