  • The Austrian had impressed in Monte Carlo a few weeks earlier before retiring, and during qualifying young Rindt put his Cooper-Maserati on the front row. Pole went to John Surtees in the V12 Ferrari with Jackie Stewart completing the front row, while Graham Hill and Jim Clark were well down the grid in ninth and tenth places. Raceday was miserable, dull grey and rain storms coating the circuit with water all morning, although the start would be held without water falling from the sky. The field largely got away in grid order, with Surtees leading from Rindt as the field charged through Eau Rouge and Raidillon to start the opening lap. It was when the field came to the long sweeping corner at Burneville where the trouble started, a huge crack of thunder signalling a cloud burst just before the field arrived. Out went Jo Bonnier, Mike Spence, Jo Siffert and Denny Hulme, while the rest of the field flew on towards the flat out Masta Kink. The Kink proved even more treacherous, with Rindt going for a spin all on his own, although he masterfully controlled the pirouette to continue unharmed. He, however, was the lucky one, as Stewart, Hill and Bob Bondurant all spun off, Stewart obtaining a broken shoulder after hitting a telegraph pole. The Scot also landed upside down and was trapped, with Hill and Bondurant managing to get him free before his car, which was leaking fuel, burst into flame. With Clark also out with a flooded engine, only seven cars were left to battle to the end. Ultimately, Surtees would sweep home to victory in slowly improving conditions, while Rindt battled back to second after briefly leading. Lorenzo Bandini finished third and took the lead of the Championship, Jack Brabham and Richie Ginther claimed points, while Dan Gurney and Guy Ligier finished, but were not classified.
