1963 Season Formula One
The 1963 Formula One season was the 17th season of FIA Formula One motor racing. It featured the 14th FIA World Championship of Drivers, the sixth International Cup for F1 Manufacturers. The World Championship commenced on 26 May, and ended on 28 December after ten races.
Jim Clark won his first championship with seven wins to two by Graham Hill and one by John Surtees in a revised Ferrari.
The ATS venture, founded by ex-Ferrari workers, was a failure which damaged Phil Hill's Grand Prix career. It was unrelated to the late 1970s German operation which was marginally more successful.
