In 1969, with McLaren, Hulme won just one race in Mexico. Then, he would climb to the top stage of the podium again only three years later, at the 1972 South African GP (it is worth remembering that the season at that time, on average, was about 12 races).
Graham Hill – 22 races
Damon’s father also went through a drought when he was already champion in Formula 1, one of the greats of the 60s, with BRM first champion in 1962.
