Page "Brabham" Paragraph 8

By the 1961 Formula One season, the Lotus and Ferrari teams had developed the mid-engined approach further than Cooper.

Brabham had a poor season, scoring only four points, and — having run his own private Coopers in non-championship events during 1961 — left the company in 1962 to drive for his own team: the Brabham Racing Organisation, using cars built by Motor Racing Developments.
