ISBN 1-874557-83-7</ref> He entered his first race at 15 in a [[grasstrack]] competition. In 1950, when he was 16, he joined Vincent as an apprentice;<ref name="50 Years Of Moto Grand Prix">''50 Years Of Moto Grand Prix'' (1st edition). Hazelton Publishing Ltd, 1999. ISBN 1-874557-83-7</ref><ref name="Formula 1 Hall of Fame">[http://www.formula1.com/teams_and_drivers/hall_of_fame/129/ Formula 1 Hall of Fame]</ref> whilst with them he bought his first car, a [[Jowett Jupiter]].{{Fact|date=July 2007}} He made his first headlines in 1951 when he gave [[Norton (motorcycle)|Norton]] star [[Geoff Duke]] a strong challenge in an [[AutoCycle Union|ACU]] race at the [[Thruxton Circuit]].<ref name="50 Years Of Moto Grand Prix">''50 Years Of Moto Grand Prix'' (1st edition). Hazelton Publishing Ltd, 1999. ISBN 1-874557-83-7</ref>

Surtees switched from motorcycles to cars, full time in 1960 making his [[Formula 1]] debut racing for [[Lotus (car)|Lotus]] in the [[Monaco Grand Prix]] in [[Monte Carlo]]. He moved to [[Ferrari]] and won the world championship for the [[Italy|Italian]] team in 1964.  
+
In 1955, [[Norton Motorcycle Company|Norton]] race chief Joe Craig gave Surtees his first factory sponsored ride aboard the Nortons.<ref name="50 Years Of Moto Grand Prix">''50 Years Of Moto Grand Prix'' (1st edition). Hazelton Publishing Ltd, 1999. ISBN 1-874557-83-7</ref> He finished the year by beating reigning world champion Duke at [[Silverstone Circuit|Silverstone]] and then at [[Brands Hatch]].<ref name="50 Years Of Moto Grand Prix">''50 Years Of Moto Grand Prix'' (1st edition). Hazelton Publishing Ltd, 1999. ISBN 1-874557-83-7</ref> However, with Norton in financial trouble and uncertain about their racing plans, Surtees accepted an offer to race [[MV Agusta]]s.  
  
−
Surtees parted company with Ferrari during the 1966 season, citing excessive pressure as a factor, leaving [[Jack Brabham]] to take the Drivers' Championship.
+
In 1956 Surtees won the [[List of Grand Prix motorcycle racing World Champions|500cc world championship]].<ref name="John Surtees career statistics at MotoGP.com">[http://www.motogp.com/en/riders/profiles/John+Surtees John Surtees career statistics at MotoGP.com]</ref> In this he was assisted by the [[Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme|FIM's]] decision to ban Geoff Duke for six months because of his support for a riders' strike for more starting money.<ref>[http://www.motogp.com/en/riders/profiles/John+Surtees John Surtees profile at MotoGP.com]</ref> In the [[1957 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1957]] season, the MV Agustas were no match for the [[Gilera]]s and Surtees battled to a third place finish aboard a 1957 MV Agusta 500 Quattro.<ref name="50 Years Of Moto Grand Prix">''50 Years Of Moto Grand Prix'' (1st edition).

The [[1966 Formula One season|1966 season]] saw the introduction of new, larger 3-litre engines to Formula One. Surtees' debut with Ferrari's new F1 car was at the [[1966 BRDC International Trophy]] at Silverstone, where he qualified and finished a close second behind [[Jack Brabham]]'s 3-litre [[Brabham BT19]]. A few weeks later, Surtees led the Monaco Grand Prix, pulling away from [[Jackie Stewart]]'s 2-litre [[BRM]] on the straights, before the engine failed. A fortnight later Surtees survived the first lap rainstorm which eliminated half the field and won the [[1966 Belgian Grand Prix|Belgian Grand Prix]].

Surtees arrived at the [[1966 24 Hours of Le Mans]] expecting to be partnered with [[Mike Parkes]], instead Ferrari team manager Eugenio Dragoni had put "big John" with [[Ludovico Scarfiotti]]. Surtees was not happy and quit Ferrari.<ref name="Formula 1 Hall of Fame">[http://www.formula1.com/teams_and_drivers/hall_of_fame/129/ Formula 1 Hall of Fame]</ref><ref>''Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans''. by A.J.Baime Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2009. ISBN 978-0618822195</ref> {{Fact|date=October 2008}}<!--Isn't the more usual story that Surtees was unhappy with Ferrari's concentration on Le Mans to the detriment of their F1 effort? --> Surtees finished the season driving for the [[Cooper Car Company|Cooper]]-[[Maserati]] team, winning the last race of the season and finishing second in the drivers' championship, 14 points behind Brabham.

Surtees moved to the new Japanese [[Honda F1|Honda]] team for the [[1967 Formula One season|1967 season]].<ref name="Formula 1 Hall of Fame">[http://www.formula1.com/teams_and_drivers/hall_of_fame/129/ Formula 1 Hall of Fame]</ref> He took pole position for the non-championship [[Race of Champions (Brands Hatch)|Race of Champions]] at Brands Hatch, but the car's V12 engine suffered from reliability problems in the race. At the [[1967 Italian Grand Prix|Italian Grand Prix]] Surtees [[Drafting (aerodynamics)|slipstreamed]] Denny Hulme to take Honda's second F1 victory by 0.2 seconds. Surtees finished fourth in the 1967 drivers' championship.<ref name="John Surtees Formula One statistics">[http://www.4mula1.ro/history/driver/John_Surtees John Surtees Formula One statistics]</ref>
 +
 
 +
The same year, Surtees drove in the ''Rex Mays 300'' at [[Riverside International Raceway|Riverside]], near Los Angeles, in a [[United States Auto Club]] season-ending road race. This event pitted the best American drivers of the day — normally those who had cut their teeth as professional drivers on oval dirt tracks — against veteran Formula One Grand Prix drivers, including [[Jim Clark]] and [[Dan Gurney]].
 +
 
 +
In [[1970 Formula One season|1970]], Surtees formed his own race team, the [[Surtees|Surtees Racing Organisation]], and spent nine seasons competing in [[Formula 5000]], [[Formula 2]] and Formula 1 as a constructor.<ref name="Formula 1 Hall of Fame">[http://www.formula1.com/teams_and_drivers/hall_of_fame/129/ Formula 1 Hall of Fame]</ref> He retired from competitive driving in [[1972 Formula One season|1972]], the same year the team had their greatest success when [[Mike Hailwood]] won the European [[Formula 2]] Championship.<ref>[http://www.formula2.net/F272_Tables.htm www.formula2.net]</ref> The team was finally disbanded at the end of [[1978 Formula One season|1978]].

For a while in the 1970s Surtees ran a motorcycle shop in West Wickham, Kent. He continues his involvement in motorcycling, participating in classic events with bikes from his stable of vintage racing machines. He also remains involved in single-seater racing cars and held the position of chairman of [[A1 Team Great Britain]], in the [[A1 Grand Prix]] racing series from 2005-7. His son, [[Henry Surtees|Henry]] competed in the FIA Formula 2 Championship, Formula Renault UK Championship and the [[Formula BMW]] UK championship for [[Carlin Motorsport]],<ref>{{cite web|url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/6946783.stm|title= How to become F1 champion|accessdate= 2007-08-22|date= [[2007-08-22]]|work = Sarah Holt|publisher = www.bbc.co.uk}}</ref> before he died whilst racing in the Formula 2 championship at Brands Hatch on 19 July 2009.<ref>[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motorsport/5866783/John-Surtees-son-Henry-killed-in-Formula-Two-accident.html www.telegraph.co.uk]</ref>

John Surtees, OBE (born 11 February 1934 in Tatsfield, Surrey) is a former Grand Prix motorcycle road racer and Formula One driver from England. He remains the only person to have won World Championships on both two and four wheels. He is also the ambassador of the Racing Steps Foundation.

Motorcycle racing career

Surtees was the son of a south London motorcycle dealer.[1] He had his first professional outing in the sidecar of his father's Vincent, which they won. However, when race officials discovered Surtees' age, they were disqualified.[1] He entered his first race at 15 in a grasstrack competition. In 1950, when he was 16, he joined Vincent as an apprentice;[1][2] whilst with them he bought his first car, a Jowett Jupiter.Template:Fact He made his first headlines in 1951 when he gave Norton star Geoff Duke a strong challenge in an ACU race at the Thruxton Circuit.[1]

In 1955, Norton race chief Joe Craig gave Surtees his first factory sponsored ride aboard the Nortons.[1] He finished the year by beating reigning world champion Duke at Silverstone and then at Brands Hatch.[1] However, with Norton in financial trouble and uncertain about their racing plans, Surtees accepted an offer to race MV Agustas.

In 1956 Surtees won the 500cc world championship.[3] In this he was assisted by the FIM's decision to ban Geoff Duke for six months because of his support for a riders' strike for more starting money.[4] In the 1957 season, the MV Agustas were no match for the Gileras and Surtees battled to a third place finish aboard a 1957 MV Agusta 500 Quattro.[1][3][5]

When Gilera and Moto Guzzi pulled out of Grand Prix racing at the end of 1957, Surtees and MV Agusta went on to dominate the competition in the two big classes.[1] In 1958, 1959 and 1960, he won 32 out of 39 races and became the first man to win the Senior TT at the Isle of Man TT three years in succession.[3][6]

Racing car career

In 1960, at the age of 26, Surtees switched from motorcycles to cars full time, making his Formula 1 debut racing for Lotus in the Monaco Grand Prix in Monte Carlo. He made an immediate impact with a second place finish in only his second Formula One race, at the 1960 British Grand Prix, and a pole position at his third race, the 1960 Portuguese Grand Prix.[2] After spending the 1961 season with the Cooper racing team and the 1962 season with Reg Parnell Racing, he moved to Scuderia Ferrari in 1963 and won the World Championship for the Italian team in 1964.[2][7]

On September 25, 1965, Surtees had a life-threatening accident at the Mosport Circuit (Ontario, Canada) whilst practicing a Lola T70 sports racing car.[2] A front upright casting had broken. Surtees made a full recovery and competed with a T70 in the inaugural Can Am series in 1966, winning three races of six to become champion over other winners Dan Gurney (Lola), Mark Donohue (Lola) and Phil Hill (Chaparral) as well as the likes of Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon (both in McLarens).

The 1966 season saw the introduction of new, larger 3-litre engines to Formula One. Surtees' debut with Ferrari's new F1 car was at the 1966 BRDC International Trophy at Silverstone, where he qualified and finished a close second behind Jack Brabham's 3-litre Brabham BT19. A few weeks later, Surtees led the Monaco Grand Prix, pulling away from Jackie Stewart's 2-litre BRM on the straights, before the engine failed. A fortnight later Surtees survived the first lap rainstorm which eliminated half the field and won the Belgian Grand Prix.

Surtees arrived at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans expecting to be partnered with Mike Parkes, instead Ferrari team manager Eugenio Dragoni had put "big John" with Ludovico Scarfiotti. Surtees was not happy and quit Ferrari.[2][8] Template:Fact Surtees finished the season driving for the Cooper-Maserati team, winning the last race of the season and finishing second in the drivers' championship, 14 points behind Brabham.

Surtees moved to the new Japanese Honda team for the 1967 season.[2] He took pole position for the non-championship Race of Champions at Brands Hatch, but the car's V12 engine suffered from reliability problems in the race. At the Italian Grand Prix Surtees slipstreamed Denny Hulme to take Honda's second F1 victory by 0.2 seconds. Surtees finished fourth in the 1967 drivers' championship.[7]

The same year, Surtees drove in the Rex Mays 300 at Riverside, near Los Angeles, in a United States Auto Club season-ending road race. This event pitted the best American drivers of the day — normally those who had cut their teeth as professional drivers on oval dirt tracks — against veteran Formula One Grand Prix drivers, including Jim Clark and Dan Gurney.

In 1970, Surtees formed his own race team, the Surtees Racing Organisation, and spent nine seasons competing in Formula 5000, Formula 2 and Formula 1 as a constructor.[2] He retired from competitive driving in 1972, the same year the team had their greatest success when Mike Hailwood won the European Formula 2 Championship.[9] The team was finally disbanded at the end of 1978.

After Formula One

John Surtees in 2006

For a while in the 1970s Surtees ran a motorcycle shop in West Wickham, Kent. He continues his involvement in motorcycling, participating in classic events with bikes from his stable of vintage racing machines. He also remains involved in single-seater racing cars and held the position of chairman of A1 Team Great Britain, in the A1 Grand Prix racing series from 2005-7. His son, Henry competed in the FIA Formula 2 Championship, Formula Renault UK Championship and the Formula BMW UK championship for Carlin Motorsport,[10] before he died whilst racing in the Formula 2 championship at Brands Hatch on 19 July 2009.[11]

In 1996, John Surtees was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame.[12] The FIM honoured him as a Grand Prix "Legend" in 2003.[13] Already a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE), he was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2008 Birthday Honours.[14]
