The 1962 Season

Graham Hill won his first world championship, delivering BRM its only drivers' and constructors' titles in a thrilling duel with Jim Clark's Lotus. The two traded victories all season in the 1.5-litre era, with reliability proving the decisive factor.

The championship came down to the final round in South Africa, where Clark led commandingly until an engine failure handed Hill the title. Hill's triumph capped BRM's long climb to the top of Grand Prix racing.
