1965

Lotus won 6 races out of 10, and the world title went to Jim Clark.

The title was decided in round 7 – German Grand Prix.

Jim Clark won six of the ten races and his second title. He skipped the Monaco Grand Prix to race in the Indianapolis 500 — and won that too.

The last season of the 1.5-litre formula brought new names to the top step: Jackie Stewart took his first win, for BRM at Monza, and Richie Ginther gave Honda their first victory at the final round in Mexico.
