The race would see one of Graham Hill, Denny Hulme or Jackie Stewart take the title, who came into the finale with six points between them. Despite the attention on the title fight, all three pretenders to the crown would be caught out in qualifying when Jo Siffert shot to pole in his Rob Walker Racing Team Lotus-Ford Cosworth. The Swiss racer would share the front row with Championship leader Hill, with Hulme starting in fourth and Stewart down in seventh, meaning it would be advantage Hill on the grid. When the flag fell it would be Hill who got the better start, although he would have to settle for second when John Surtees came charging up the inside of the Englishman into turn one. Yet, come the end of the first lap Hill would be leading, while Stewart moved into third with a brilliant series of overtakes on the opening lap. The order would quickly settle, the only changes coming when Surtees and Jochen Rindt hit mechanical troubles. Hill and Stewart would engage in a well mannered duel for the lead, while Hulme's title chance was over as early as lap eleven, the New Zealander suffering a suspension failure that pitched the defending World Champion into the wall. Siffert soon managed to interfere with the duel for the race victory, and the Championship, once Hulme retired, briefly leading the race until he was forced to pit. The fight was back on between Hill and Stewart, although when the Matra-Ford Cosworth began to misfire, the Scot was unable to keep up the pace. With that, the race was run, with Hill cruising to take his third victory of the season and his second World Championship. Bruce McLaren and Hill's teammate Jackie Oliver would share the final podium of the season with the new World Champion, while Stewart tumbled out of the points in the closing stages. Pedro Rodríguez, Jo Bonnier and a recovering Jo Siffert would claim the final points of the season.
