Jim Clark led away from pole in his customary fashion. Behind him
Lorenzo Bandini spun in front of
Innes Ireland who collected him,
Willy Mairesse had an accident, and
Chris Amon sustained a knee injury when the steering broke, catapulting him into the trees.
Graham Hill retired leaving Clark to battle away with
John Surtees and
Trevor Taylor before engine problems befell Taylor. When Clark's engine went down to just 7 cylinders, Surtees was able to pass him easily to lead him home to take his first F1 victory.
Richie Ginther completed the podium.
Gerhard Mitter finished in a superb fourth place in his home race from
Jim Hall and
Jo Bonnier. This race was notable for being the only time
Jim Clark ever finished second in a World Championship race, as well the only race of the season won by a non-British team. == Classification ==
