Graham Hill clinched his second Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship in 1968 with 48 points, taking three wins, six podiums and two pole positions along the way. The British driver finished 12 points clear of Jackie Stewart. The Constructors' Championship, however, went not to Hill's Team Lotus but to Lotus-Ford, who took their third title with 62 points and five race wins.

Both championships were settled at the same race, the Mexican Grand Prix (round 12 of 12): Hill took the drivers' crown and Lotus-Ford the constructors'.
