1964 Formula One season

The 1964 Formula One World Championship was one of the most dramatic and unpredictable seasons in the sport’s history, decided only at the very last race. Contested over 10 Grands Prix, the season featured a fierce three-way battle for the title between John Surtees, Graham Hill, and Jim Clark. Surtees, driving for Ferrari, ultimately triumphed to become the first and only man to win world championships on both two wheels (motorcycles) and four wheels (Formula One). His adaptability and skill across disciplines made his achievement unique in motorsport history. The season finale in Mexico was filled with twists of fate. Clark looked set to win both the race and the championship before his Lotus suffered an engine failure just laps from the finish. Hill, meanwhile, was delayed after being hit by Lorenzo Bandini, Surtees’s Ferrari teammate. With Clark out and Hill down the order, Surtees finished second—enough to secure the title by a single point over Hill. This razor-thin margin made the 1964 championship one of the most unforgettable ever, blending drama, controversy, and triumph. Ferrari also claimed the Constructors’ title, highlighting their resurgence in the mid-1960s. \#MomentsOfLife #MoofLife\_Moment #MoofLife #FormulaOne #F1History #JohnSurtees #Ferrari #GrahamHill #JimClark #RacingLegends #F1Classics
