The 1967 Formula One season was the 21st season of FIA Formula One motor racing. It featured the 18th World Championship of Drivers, the 10th International Cup for F1 Manufacturers, and six non-championship races open to Formula One cars. The World Championship was contested over eleven races between 2 January and 22 October 1967. Denny Hulme won the Drivers' Championship in a Brabham-Repco.https://www.formula1.com/en/results.html/1967/drivers.html 1967 Driver Standings Formula1.com 28 March 2024 Brabham was also awarded the International Cup for F1 Manufacturers.https://www.formula1.com/en/results.html/1967/team.html 1967 Constructor Standings Formula1.com 28 March 2024 2025, this is the only championship won by a New Zealand driver. Hulme also became the first driver in World Championship history to win the title without having scored a pole position during the season. Lorenzo Bandini crashed during the Monaco Grand Prix. Losing an early lead of the race and trying to get back to the front, the Ferrari driver clipped the chicane at the harbour front and then hit a hidden mooring. The car turned over and exploded in flames. It took marshals several minutes to extricate Bandini from the burning wreck and three days later, the Italian died. British driver Bob Anderson died during a test at Silverstone. His Brabham slid off the track in wet conditions and hit a marshals post, suffering serious chest and neck injuries and later dying in hospital.

It would be the New Zealander's first full-time F1 drive since 1964. Pedro Rodríguez was signed by Cooper, after 1964 champion John Surtees moved to Honda. Honda's 1966 drivers Richie Ginther and Ronnie Bucknum left the sport. 1962 champion Graham Hill moved from BRM to Lotus, replacing Peter Arundell. Mike Spence was hired as his replacement at BRM, having gained experience with their V8 engine at Reg Parnell's privateer team. Mid-season changes Ferrari driver Lorenzo Bandini suffered a fatal crash during the Monaco Grand Prix. The team brought back last year's drivers Mike Parkes and Ludovico Scarfiotti for two races and then reduced their operations to just one car for Chris Amon. Bruce McLaren had switched from Ford to BRM engines over the winter. He was supposed to get V12 engines for the McLaren M5A, but when those were delayed, he had to start the season in a modified Formula Two car powered by a BRM V8. After having worked with engine suppliers Climax and BRM since 1966, Lotus switched to newly developed Cosworth DFV's from the third race of this year. The project was funded by the Ford Motor Company. Pedro Rodríguez suffered a crash in the 1967 Mediterranean Grand Prix, a Formula Two race at Autodromo di Pergusa, and took about two months to recover. Richard Attwood and Jacky Ickx fell in for him at Cooper. It was Ickx's F1 debut, while he would go on to win the F2 championship that year as well. Matra introduced their first Formula One chassis, the MS7, in the last two races of the season, with their Formula Two driver Jean-Pierre Beltoise granted the drive.

The French Grand Prix was moved to the Bugatti version of the Circuit de la Sarthe, replacing Reims-Gueux. The British Grand Prix was moved from Brands Hatch to Silverstone, in keeping with the event-sharing arrangement between the two circuits. The Canadian Grand Prix was hosted for the first time, at Mosport Park near Toronto.

Championship report Rounds 1 to 4 Coming down from his third World Championship in 1966, Jack Brabham started this year off as well, with a pole position at the South African Grand Prix. Teammate Denny Hulme started second and two-time World Champion Jim Clark lined up in third in his Lotus. Hulme took the lead at the start, while Clark fell back to sixth. In a race of attrition, the crowd saw Rhodesian driver John Love take the lead. When he had to stop for extra fuel, however, it was Pedro Rodríguez who won in his Cooper. Love finished second, ahead of John Surtees in a Honda. Hulme and Brabham finished several laps down but still in the points, since there were just six classified finishers in total.https://web.archive.org/web/20231203094947/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/february-1967/14/grand-prix-of-south-africa-2/ https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/february-1967/14/grand-prix-of-south-africa-2/ 1967 South African Grand Prix race report: Heartbreak for Love Motorsport Magazine Michael Tee 2 January 1967 3 December 2023 20 March 2024 From 1967 to 1969, there was four months between the first and second race of the championship, and most teams would usually run the first race with old designs, or not even participate. This year, Ferrari, McLaren and Matra started their year with the Monaco Grand Prix. Lotus had planned to run revolutionary new Cosworths, but they were not ready in time. Jack Brabham scored pole position like in South Africa, but again lost the lead at the start, this time to long-time Ferrari driver Lorenzo Bandini. Before long, Hulme took over at the front and increased his lead to 15 seconds. Desperately trying to get closer, Bandini struck the barrier in the chicane at the harbour front and mounted the straw bales. The car landed upside down and exploded in flames. Bandini would succumbed to his injuries three days later. Hulme won the race, one lap ahead of Graham Hill (Lotus) and two ahead of Chris Amon (Ferrari). Like in the first race, there were just six finishers.https://web.archive.org/web/20230926114154/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/june-1967/35/xxv-monaco-grand-prix/ https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/june-1967/35/xxv-monaco-grand-prix/ 1967 Monaco Grand Prix race report: Hulme the victor on black day Motorsport Magazine Denis Jenkinson 7 May 1967 26 September 2023 20 March 2024 thumb|right|Jim Clark, on his way to win the Dutch Grand Prix When Lotus could finally run the new Cosworth engines in the Dutch Grand Prix, their pace was significantly better than before and Hill snatched pole position. A surprising Dan Gurney in the Eagle started second, reigning champion Brabham in third. After drivers had to avoid a wandering marshal on the grid, the positions at the front remained rather the same, until Gurney made a pit stop. Hill's engine suddenly seized on lap 11, but teammate Clark was charging, getting up to second on lap 15 and taking the lead from Brabham on the next lap. He kept increasing his lead with a second per lap and easily won, ahead of the teammates Brabham and Hulme. Behind them finished the three Ferraris.https://web.archive.org/web/20220521180427/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/july-1967/28/dutch-grand-prix-5 https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/july-1967/28/dutch-grand-prix-5/ 1967 Dutch Grand Prix race report: Lotus back in business Motorsport Magazine Denis Jenkinson 4 June 1967 21 May 2022 20 March 2024 Qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix ended up with quite the same drivers at the front, except Brabham could only manage seventh. Clark, Gurney and Hill occupied the front row. Clark was the only one of the three with a good start, however. During the first lap, Mike Parkes crashed his Ferrari and was thrown out. He broke a leg and wrist and would not return to Formula One. At the front of the field, Clark was followed by Stewart (BRM) and Amon (Ferrari), before Amon fell back and Gurney took third. Then, Clark had to pit to change a spark plug and Stewart ran into trouble with his gearbox, and Gurney took the lead. After setting a new lap record, the American driver won, over a minute ahead of Stewart and Amon.https://web.archive.org/web/20221128053147/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/july-1967/22/the-belgian-grand-prix-5/ https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/july-1967/22/the-belgian-grand-prix-5/ 1967 Belgian Grand Prix race report: Gurney's Eagle takes flight Motorsport Magazine Denis Jenkinson 18 June 1967 28 November 2022 20 March 2024 Four different winners led to a close fight at the top of the Drivers' Championship. Denny Hulme (Brabham) was first with 16 points, ahead of Pedro Rodríguez (Cooper) and Chris Amon (Ferrari) with 11. In the battle for the Manufacturers' Cup, Brabham had scored 18 points, ahead of Cooper (14) and Ferrari (11). Rounds 5 to 7 For the French Grand Prix, the front row consisted of 1962 champion Graham Hill (Lotus), triple World Champion Jack Brabham (Brabham) and winner of the last race, Dan Gurney (Eagle). But after just 5 laps, it was fourth-starting Jim Clark who led the field. Before the race reached half distance, however, both Lotuses had retired. The Cosworth engines deemed fast but unreliable. After Gurney retired as well with a fuel leak, which left Brabham and his teammate Hulme to finish first and second. Jackie Stewart finished third in his BRM, a lap down on the leader. For the third time this year, there were just six classified finishers.https://web.archive.org/web/20220731110524/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/august-1967/36/the-53rd-grand-prix-of-france https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/august-1967/36/the-53rd-grand-prix-of-france/ 1967 French Grand Prix race report: Brabham conquers Le Mans Motorsport Magazine Denis Jenkinson 2 July 1967 31 July 2022 20 March 2024 The British Grand Prix was run at Silverstone and saw the green-and-yellow Lotuses (Clark ahead of Hill) qualifying in front of the green-and-gold Brabhams (Brabham ahead of Hulme). The Lotus duo gained a big lead over the rest, before Hill took the lead on lap 26. When a screw in his suspension failed, however, he had to pit on lap 55, and his engine seized ten laps later. Clark took a comfortable win, ahead of Hulme and Amon, the Ferrari driver having passed Brabham four laps from the end.https://web.archive.org/web/20210507162029/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/august-1967/13/the-19th-british-grand-prix-2 https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/august-1967/13/the-19th-british-grand-prix-2/ 1967 British Grand Prix race report - Team Lotus Dominate Motorsport Magazine Bill Boddy 15 July 1967 7 May 2021 20 March 2024 During practice for the German Grand Prix, Hill crashed and wrote off his Lotus, while escaping uninjured. Clark clinched pole position, ahead of Hulme and Formula Two driver Jacky Ickx. (Traditionally, the F2 race would be run at the same time as the Grand Prix. F2 drivers would not be eligible to score points for the F1 championship.) At the start, Clark and Hulme led away, with Bruce McLaren stealing third. On lap 3, Clark's right-rear wheel was deflating slowly and he had to back off. Dan Gurney inherited the lead after McLaren retired with an oil leak. The American set a new lap record, despite an extra chicane having been added to the circuit, and increased his lead over Hulme to over 40 seconds. On lap 13, however, his Eagle's drive shaft broke and cut through an oil pipe, handing Hulme a lucky victory, ahead of teammate Brabham and Ferrari driver Amon.https://web.archive.org/web/20230609014203/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/september-1967/14/german-grand-prix-5/ https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/september-1967/14/german-grand-prix-5/ 1967 German Grand Prix race report: Brabham shows its steel Motorsport Magazine Denis Jenkinson 6 August 1967 9 June 2023 20 March 2024 In the Drivers' Championship, Denny Hulme (Brabham) was leading with 37 points, ahead of Jack Brabham (Brabham) with 25 points and Jim Clark (Lotus) and Chris Amon (Ferrari) in a shared third place with 19 points. Brabham was leading the championship for the Manufacturers' Cup with 42 points, ahead of Cooper with 21 and Lotus and Ferrari in a shared third place with 19 points. Rounds 8 to 11 The Canadian Grand Prix was on the championship calendar for the first time and was supposed to be a one-off in celebration of Canada's 100 years of independence, but the popularity of the event would result in F1 returning to Mosport Park seven more years and the Canadian GP still being featured on the calendar today. Jim Clark (Lotus) qualified on pole position, ahead of teammate Graham Hill and championship leader Denny Hulme (Brabham). It had been a rainy night, but a clear morning, which led to most of the Goodyear runners starting on intermediate tyres, while most of the Firestone started on dries. During the warm-up lap, the rain returned and it caused a treacherous first lap, with the Goodyear tyres at an advantage. Hulme took the lead off of Clark, and Bruce McLaren got by the pole-sitter into second place. The track was now drying and around a quarter of the race, the dry-runners regained their advantage. Clark retook second place and began to catch Hulme at over a second a lap. On lap 58, he was there and immediately went by into the lead, but right at that moment, the rain returned. Clark's engine got soaked and cut out, while Hulme desperately needed clean goggles so chose to pit. This left Jack Brabham, second in the championship, free to win the race, over a minute ahead of teammate Hulme and at least a lap ahead of the race. Dan Gurney finished third in the Eagle.https://web.archive.org/web/20240216175332/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/october-1967/71/weather-affects-first-canadian-grand-prix/ https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/october-1967/71/weather-affects-first-canadian-grand-prix/ 1967 Canadian Grand Prix report: Brabham again supreme Motorsport Magazine Michael Tee 27 August 1967 16 February 2024 21 March 2024 Qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix was disrupted by rain, but the result was not surprising: Clark scored his fifth pole position of the year, ahead of Brabham and McLaren. Hulme started in sixth. The marshal starting the race used a different procedure to what the drivers were used to, which led to half of the grid essentially doing a false start, but no penalties were issued. Brabham took the lead before Gurney grabbed it later in the lap, while Hill and Clark followed them. On lap 3, Clark was already back in the lead, but then suffered a slow puncture. With the pole-sitter in the pits and Gurney's engine having broken, as it had done so many times, it was Hulme who took over the lead. Brabham and Hill formed a close trio with him and the lead swapped hands a couple of times. Clark had a lost a full lap with his pit stop, but managed to unlap himself with two thirds of the race still to go, and quickly set a new lap record. Hulme retired with an overheating engine and Hill took advantage from Clark's slipstream to open up the gap to Brabham at two seconds per lap, until on lap 58, his engine exploded. His rivals' retirements, topped with his maniacal pace, brought Clark up to second place, with leader Brabham in his sights and Honda driver John Surtees in third place, the 1964 champion this time being the one to benefit from Clark's tow. On lap 60, Clark grabbed the lead and gained a three-second advantage, until he dramatically ran out of fuel. Surtees took the lead and was side-by-side with Brabham going into the last corner. Brabham dove to the inside but slid wide. Surtees crossed back and took the flag with a margin of just 0.2 seconds. It would be Honda's last win until 2006. Clark coasted over the line in third place.https://web.archive.org/web/20240216175310/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/october-1967/16/italian-grand-prix-2/ https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/october-1967/16/italian-grand-prix-2/ 1967 Italian Grand Prix report: Surtees wins as heroic Clark denied Motorsport Magazine Denis Jenkinson 10 September 1967 16 February 2024 21 March 2024 thumb|right|Jim Clark, on his way to win the United States Grand Prix The Brabham duo (Hulme and Brabham) were leading the championship but the Lotus duo (Hill and Clark) that occupied the first row for the United States Grand Prix. Gurney had started beside them, took second place at the start and even started pressuring the leader. After just 24 laps, however, the home hero retired with a broken suspension, but the Lotuses were showing better pace anyway. Clark took over the lead when Hill suffered issues with his clutch. This gave Ferrari driver Chris Amon a chance for second place, but his engine ran out of oil with 12 laps to go. Clark would take a comfortable victory, but two laps from the end, his right-rear suspension broke. By slowing down and managing to keep the car on track, Hill could not catch up in time, and Clark took the chequered flag. One could say it was the summary of the season: the Lotuses were unreliable and finished less than half of the races, but if they did, they were so fast that they lapped the rest of the field. This time, it was Hulme who finished in third, a lap down.https://web.archive.org/web/20230531223402/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/november-1967/42/united-states-gp/ https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/november-1967/42/united-states-gp/ 1967 United States Grand Prix race report: Lotus lights up the Glen Motorsport Magazine Michael Tee 1 October 1967 31 May 2023 21 March 2024 Going into the final race, the Mexican Grand Prix, Hulme had a lead of five points in the standings, so if Brabham wanted to do anything about it, he needed to win and for his teammate to finish fifth or lower. Clark started again on pole position, with Brabham and Hulme down in fifth and sixth, respectively. Hill shortly took the lead, but Clark grabbed it back and grew his advantage to seven seconds. Hulme was comfortably hanging back six seconds behind Brabham. Hill retired when his drive shaft broke and had damaged his engine, and the race settled down. Clark set a new lap record and lapped everyone but Brabham in second. Hulme finished third, enough to win the title.https://web.archive.org/web/20230604005358/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/december-1967/34/sixth-grand-prix-of-mexico/ https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/december-1967/34/sixth-grand-prix-of-mexico/ 1967 Mexican Grand Prix race report: Denny reaches the top Motorsport Magazine Motor Sport 22 October 1967 4 June 2023 21 March 2024 Denny Hulme (Brabham, 51 points) won his first and only championship, ahead of teammate Jack Brabham (46) and Jim Clark (Lotus, 41). Hulme is the only champion to date from New Zealand, and the first of two drivers to win the title without achieving a pole position in the season. Only Niki Lauda would repeat this feat in 1984. The Brabham team (63 points) also won the Manufacturers' Cup, ahead of Lotus (44) and Cooper (28).
