The year in numbers
The season packed 10 races across 10 countries, with 3 different winners over 1963: Jim Clark (7), Graham Hill (2), John Surtees (1). Jim Clark won more than anyone, 7 of the 10 races. The title went to Jim Clark (United Kingdom), driving for Lotus-Climax, the first of the driver's career. On the raw sums of the table, Jim Clark closed the year on 73 points, 39 more than Richie Ginther. A note for anyone checking official records: until 1990 the rules dropped each driver's worst results, so the raw sums in the table can differ from the official 1963 scores.
