New Zealand Formula One World Champion of 1967 who won the title with Brabham, a powerful and aggressive driver whose Kiwi toughness and consistent speed produced five Grand Prix victories.
Denny Hulme was New Zealand's only Formula One World Champion, winning the title with Brabham in 1967 before moving to McLaren where he was a key figure in their early success. A no-nonsense New Zealander known as 'The Bear' for his tough and direct manner, Hulme's championship was somewhat unexpected but demonstrated his exceptional racecraft and consistency.
