[edit] Season summary
The last year of the 2.5 litre formula produced another Brabham and Cooper victory, and saw Lotus, Ferrari and BRM campaigning rear-engined cars. Lance Reventlow's Scarabs, like the Astons, were front-engined and outclassed. Moss's Rob Walker Lotus gave Colin Chapman his first grand prix win at Monaco and followed it with victory in the USA. All other grand prix went to Cooper, except for the Italian which was boycotted by the British constructors since the Italians were using Monza's banked circuit.
The points-scoring system was changed with the point for fastest lap being dropped and a point given for sixth place. The best six scores counted towards the championship, increased from five from the previous season.
