The race weekend would see the FIA take action to ban wings, and a record number of wins in the Principality. Indeed, the times from the first qualifying session were deleted, with the ban on wings coming into effect after the opening couple of hours of running. The remaining sessions would therefore decided the grid, with Championship leader Jackie Stewart claiming pole having topped every session. When the flag fell on raceday it would be Stewart and fellow front row starter Chris Amon who went into Sainte Devote battling for the lead, the Scot emerging with the lead. Next came Graham Hill after he moved past Jean-Pierre Beltoise, while there was an accident for Jackie Oliver at the back of the field. The following laps would see a nasty accident in the tunnel, where John Surtees suffered a gearbox failure and got rammed by an unsighted Jack Brabham. Both escaped uninjured, and were joined on the sidelines a few laps later by a frustrated Amon, who had been challenging for the lead when his differential failed. It would ultimately be another retirement that decided the race, as Stewart suffered a driveshaft failure, identical to one suffered by teammate Beltoise a lap earlier. Hill was therefore left with a sizeable lead over Jacky Ickx in second, who was under pressure from Piers Courage behind. The second placed battle would last for a short while, ended when Ickx dropped out of the race with a suspension failure. The rest of the race became a procession, as Hill claimed a record fifth victory, Courage claimed a maiden podium, while Jo Siffert completed the podium. The rest of the points would go to Richard Attwood, Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme."@en . "Circuit de Monaco"@en . . . "3.145"^^ . . "1"^^ . . . "GBR"@en . . . . . . . . . "Piers Courage"@en . . .
