Season summary [edit]
At the Dutch Grand Prix, Lotus unveiled the new Ford-sponsored Cosworth DFV engine which was to be one of the outstanding racing engines of all time, winning 155 Grands Prix, Le Mans and Indianapolis. Although Jim Clark won four races, Denny Hulme took the title by virtue of his greater consistency. At Monza, Clark pitted to replace a tyre, made up a lap to retake the lead, only to run out of fuel on the last lap; a drive that confirmed his status as one of the all-time greats. Dan Gurney's Eagle won its only victory, and Pedro Rodríguez gave Cooper their last win in a dramatic South African Grand Prix in which local driver John Love came close to victory in his outdated Cooper-Climax.
Historically, Denny Hulme is the first of only two drivers to have ever won the title without achieving a single pole position in the season. Only Niki Lauda managed to repeat this feat in 1984.
Two drivers died in Formula One related events in 1967. Lorenzo Bandini died in a fiery accident during the Monaco Grand Prix, driving a works Ferrari, and Bob Anderson during a test at Silverstone driving a Brabham.
