Pre-Race Report

Previous race

Brabham won at Reims ahead of Gendebien and McLaren, extending his championship lead.

Entrants

John Surtees makes only his second Formula One Grand Prix start, again with Lotus. Lance Reventlow and Chuck Daigh share a single Scarab entry — the car carrying damage from France. Daigh was faster in practice and takes the drive. Aston Martin makes a rare appearance, entering Roy Salvadori and Maurice Trintignant in the DBR5 — their only World Championship outing of the season.

Stirling Moss remains absent, continuing his recovery from the injuries sustained at Spa.

Weather

Dry, overcast conditions are expected for race day.
