British Grand Prix, otherwise known as the 1968 British Grand Prix, was the seventh round of the 1968 FIA Formula One World Championship, staged on the 20th of July, 1968 at Brands Hatch. The race, which was the first since the death of Jo Schlesser at the French Grand Prix, would go down in history as the last Grand Prix to be won by a privateer team. That privateer effort would be the Rob Walker Racing Team, whom had just obtained a brand new Lotus 49B from Team Lotus for Jo Siffert to use. The 49 would be the dominant force at Brands Hatch, with factory drivers Graham Hill and Jackie Oliver finishing first and second in qualifying, while Siffert would just fall shy of a front row start as Chris Amon claimed third. The start of the race would see Oliver leap into the lead of the race on a damp circuit, the Englishman using Siffert's old 49 with extensive bodywork changes to beat teammate Hill into Paddock Hill Bend. Unfortunately for Oliver his car was smoking by the end of the opening lap, and by the end of the fourth tour Hill had slipped through into the lead. Hill's pace drew both himself and Oliver away from the rest of pack, being headed by a fantastic duel between Amon and Siffert for third. That changed on lap 27, when Hill suffered a suspension failure to leave Oliver with a fair lead over the now second placed duel, although Siffert would gradually gain superiority over Amon as the race wore on. The next twist came just after the halfway mark, when Oliver was denied a shot at victory by a transmission failure, handing Siffert the lead. The Swiss racer was left to hold on for victory, being stalked by Amon for the rest of the race to win by a little over four seconds. Amon's teammate Jacky Ickx claimed third, a lap down, with Denny Hulme, John Surtees and Jackie Stewart completing the points.
