With Jim Clark already declared as World Champion in Italy, few doubted that the Scot would win once again, but his weekend was made more difficult as now ex-Champion Hill claimed pole. The Scot's chances were further dampened when he suffered a battery failure on the grid, meaning he had to charge from the back of the field to catch early race leader Hill.

  • With Jim Clark already declared as World Champion in Italy, few doubted that the Scot would win once again, but his weekend was made more difficult as now ex-Champion Hill claimed pole. The Scot's chances were further dampened when he suffered a battery failure on the grid, meaning he had to charge from the back of the field to catch early race leader Hill. As Clark climbed, the American fans were being entertained by an epic battle at the front, with John Surtees dragging Dan Gurney past the two BRMs early on. The New Yorker would even lead the race at times while Hill's Californian team mate Richie Ginther also challenged for the lead at times, although mechanical issues would play their part. Hill himself would fall victim to a suspension issue and drop from the lead group, only to be promoted as the others retired. Gurney was first to fall to the regret of the local fans, while Ginther fell away after getting caught behind Jack Brabham for a time. Surtees was left with an ever increasing lead at the front of the field, but with only a quarter of the race to go, the scarlet Ferrari ground to a halt with an engine failure. Hill was left to cruise round the circuit to take victory with Ginther thirty seconds pack. Third went to an exhausted Clark after his race long charge from the back, although he was unable to finish on the lead lap.
