BRM’S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP GP WINNERS

P57 Wins: 6

The car that delivered both the drivers’ (Graham Hill) and constructors’ titles to BRM. The V8-engined 1962 version battled Jim Clark’s Lotus 25 and proved more reliable, even scoring a 1-2 in the Italian GP. In private hands, the P57 was still competing at the end of the 1500cc F1 era in 1965.

P261 Wins: 6

Arguably the classic BRM 1960s design, Tony Rudd’s reliable P261 was good enough to take second in the constructors’ contest in 1964 (to Ferrari) and 1965 (to Lotus). Jackie Stewart also took the two-litre version to the 1966 Tasman Cup crown and won that year’s Monaco GP.

P160 Wins: 3

The P160 was the third fastest car of 1971, behind Tyrrell and Ferrari. Despite some unreliability and the death of lead driver Pedro Rodriguez, BRM took second in the table, and the P160B provided the team with its last success, courtesy of Jean-pierre Beltoise at Monaco in 1972.

P25 Wins: 1

After years of unfulfilled promise, BRM finally scored its first world championship victory in the 1959 Dutch GP. Jo Bonnier took pole and was in the lead battle throughout in the P25, which had first appeared in 1955 and was one of the last competitive front-engined GP cars.

P153 Wins: 1

The machine that lifted BRM out of the doldrums following the H16 engine project. Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart and John Surtees had all been and gone, but a change of management heralded a revival. Pedro Rodriguez duly delivered the team’s first victory for four years at the 1970 Belgian GP.
