Notes

*Pole position: Jochen Rindt - 1:56.1
*Fastest lap: Pedro Rodriguez - 2:11.5 on lap 19
*Jo Schlesser had a fatal accident on the third lap of the race, when he lost control in the then-new Honda RA302 chassis which overturned and caught fire partially due to its magnesium content. He was chosen when normal Honda driver John Surtees refused to drive the new car, opting for the older RA301 chassis, on the grounds that the new car was unsafe.
