Lotus won 7 races out of 10, and the world title went to Jim Clark.
The 1963 season was dominated by Jim Clark and the Lotus 25: he won seven of the ten races — a record at the time — and started from pole seven times.
Clark clinched the title early by winning the Italian Grand Prix at Monza and finished the season on 54 points. Graham Hill and Richie Ginther both scored 29 points for BRM; the only race that went to neither Lotus nor BRM — the German Grand Prix — was won by John Surtees in a Ferrari.
