The race would be remembered for one of the closest ever finishes in F1 history, when the top four covered by just two tenths of a second. Qualifying had seen Austrian ace Jochen Rindt claim a sixth career pole position, sharing the front row with former Champion Denny Hulme. Jackie Stewart, who would win the World Championship if he won the race, would start the race from third, while the only Ferrari in the field, piloted by Pedro RodrÃguez, lined up in a very poor twelfth place. When the flag fell on raceday it would be the beginning of an epic eight car scrap for the lead, with the numbers involved only coming down as a result of mechanical strife. Champion elect Stewart would get the best start, but was kept on his toes throughout the early stages as Rindt, Hulme, Piers Courage, Graham Hill, Bruce McLaren, Jean-Pierre Beltoise and Jo Siffert bunched up in the Scot's mirrors. The order out front would consistently shuffle, although Stewart led across the line more often than not, only to be consumed by the pack around the back of the circuit. It was an impressive melee that refused to go away, despite issues for Siffert and Hulme dropping them out of contention. The now six car scrap would rage on from lap 30 until lap 58, when Courage dropped away with a fuel feed issue, quickly followed by Hill when his Lotus broke a driveshaft. That left Stewart, Rindt, Beltoise and McLaren in the fight, with the Scot on the verge of the title when the field started the final lap. It would be a staggering finale to an epic race, with Stewart losing the lead to Rindt through Curva Grande, before retaking the lead at Lesmo. Beltoise then seemed to have stolen victory at the Parabolica, only for Stewart and Rindt to come powering past across the line to bump the Frenchman down to third, McLaren just falling shy of the final podium spot by 0.02s. Stewart, meanwhile, was declared the winner by an incredible 0.08s from Rindt, a victory that ensure that the Scot had claimed his first World Championship with three rounds to go.
