The year in numbers
The season packed 12 races across 12 countries, with 7 different winners over 1968: Graham Hill (3), Jackie Stewart (3), Denny Hulme (2), Jim Clark (1), Bruce McLaren (1), Jacky Ickx (1), Jo Siffert (1). Graham Hill won more than anyone, 3 of the 12 races. The title went to Graham Hill (United Kingdom), driving for Lotus-Ford, the second of the driver's career. On the raw sums of the table, Graham Hill closed the year on 48 points, 12 more than Jackie Stewart. 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 1968 scores.
