Notes[]

  • Pole position: Jim Clark - 1:57.24
  • Fastest Lap: Jim Clark 1:58.37
  • For the first time, 3 British drivers went into the last race with a chance of winning the championship.
    • Graham Hill (39pts) needed either:
      • 1st
      • 3rd, with Surtees 2nd or lower
      • Clark 2nd or lower and Surtees 3rd or lower
    • John Surtees (34pts) needed either:
      • 1st
      • 2nd, with Graham Hill 4th or lower
    • Jim Clark (30pts) needed:
      • 1st, with Surtees 3rd or lower and Graham Hill 4th or lower
    • Jim Clark nearly managed this. If his engine hadn't blown in the last lap, he would've done just enough to win the championship.
  • In another first, three constructors were fighting for the championship.
    • Ferrari (43pts) needed either
      • 1st
      • 2nd, with the top BRM 3rd or lower
      • The top Lotus-Climax 2nd or lower and the top BRM in 3rd or lower
    • BRM (42pts) needed
      • 1st
    • Lotus-Climax (37pts) needed
      • 1st, with the top Ferrari 3rd or lower
    • Again, if Jim Clark's engine hadn't blown, then Lotus-Climax would've won the Constructors' Championship
