The year in numbers
The season packed 10 races across 10 countries, with 4 different winners over 1965: Jim Clark (6), Graham Hill (2), Jackie Stewart (1), Richie Ginther (1). Jim Clark won more than anyone, 6 of the 10 races. The title went to Jim Clark (United Kingdom), driving for Lotus-Climax, the second of the driver's career. On the raw sums of the table, Jim Clark closed the year on 54 points, 7 more than Graham Hill. 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 1965 scores.
