Hill and Stewart, both in BRMs, led the race from the start. Both spun, Hill after the car in front of him sprayed the track with parts, and Bandini took over the lead. Brabham, using the new, 32-valve
Coventry Climax FWMV Mark 7
engine, overtook Bandini until the new engine blew up on the 43rd lap. Ferrari was now in first and second, with Bandini using the flat-twelve design (
Ferrari 1512
) while Surtees had opted for the V8-engined
Ferrari 158
. Hill, however, had stayed in the race and was steadily closing in. During the chase, the lap record was beaten several times.

On lap 65, Hill had gotten past both Ferraris and went on to build up a sizable lead, eventually winning by over a minute. Surtees ran out of petrol on the last lap, allowing Stewart to pip him for third place, with McLaren and Siffert rounding out the points-paying positions. After debuting with
Brabham
at the previous race, Honda also made use of
Goodyear
rather than
Dunlop
tires in this race.
