Kubukeka sengathi izinhlobo eziqhubekayo zezimoto zeFormula 1 zango-1950 sezikhona. Ngemuva kokuthi uVanwall enqume ukukhiqiza amayunithi ayisithupha aqhubekayo esihlalo sakhe esisodwa sika-1958, kwaba yithuba le-BRM (British Racing Motors) ukuthi ithathe isinqumo sokubuyela "ukuzovusa" Uhlobo lwe-BRM 15.
Sekukonke, zintathu kuphela izinhlobo zohlobo lwe-15 ezizokhiqizwa, lokhu kuwumphumela wemizamo ehlanganyelwe nenkampani elungisa izimoto iHall and Hall.
Lawa makhophi azokhiqizwa ngendlela eqondile yeminyaka yawo-1950 yekhulunyaka elidlule, okusho ukuthi onjiniyela bazowakhiqiza “ngokulandela imiyalelo” evela emidwebeni yokuqala eyi-20,000, okuhlanganisa imidwebo engu-5,000 nemidwebo yobuchwepheshe.
Impela ngenxa yalesi sizathu, kanye neqiniso lokuthi lawa mayunithi amathathu aqhubekayo azobalwa nezinombolo ze-chassis zangempela ezingazange zisetshenziswe ngenxa yokuthi umthethonqubo we-Formula 1 wawushintshiwe ngaleso sikhathi, i-BRM iqinisekisa ukuthi lezi “ngeke zibe incazelo yesimanje. Kuzofana ncamashi nasekuqaleni”.
Uhlobo lwe-BRM 15
Uma kwenzeka ungazi, ngeminyaka yawo-1950 kwakuyinsakavukela umchilo wesidwaba kuFormula 1 ukubona izimoto ezinenjini enamasilinda amaningi, kodwa amandla e-cylinder aphansi. Lokhu kunjalo nge-BRM Type 15. Ngaphambi kwemoto sithola i-V16 yangaphandle, kodwa lena inomthamo ongu-1.5 l kuphela.

Ifakwe i-compressor (obunye ubuchwepheshe obuthandwa kakhulu ngaleso sikhathi), le njini ikhiqiza i-591 hp futhi iyakwazi ukukhulisa i-rpm ifike ku-12 000 rpm. Ugearbox usuphethe ugearbox onamagiya amahlanu oshintshwayo okhiqizwe yiBRM.
Ngokulandela imiklamo yasekuqaleni, i-Type 15 kulindeleke ukuthi ibe nesisindo esingu-736.6 kg kuphela futhi ingasebenzisi nje kuphela i-chassis yelungu eliseceleni enezingxenye zamabhokisi ensimbi kodwa iphinde isebenzise nezinhlelo zokulengiswa zezimoto zokuqala. Mayelana namasondo, lawa azobe ephuma eDunlop, njengoba kwenzeka ku-Type 15 eyayigijima kuFormula 1.
Njengoba elinye lamakhophi selithengiselwe uJohn Owen, indodana ka-Sir Alfred Owen, owayengumqondisi weqembu le-BRM, inkampani yaseBrithani manje isifuna amakhasimende amanye amayunithi amabili, konke lokhu ngaphandle kokudalula inani layo futhi isivele ibeke umthetho. : kuzomele kusetshenziswe izimoto.
