Championship standings
Clark leads after winning in South Africa; Hill sits second following his Monaco victory.
Previous race
At Monaco, Hill won from pole in a race full of incident. He was forced up the escape road when a car in front sprayed debris across the circuit, rejoining after pushing his own car back onto the track. Stewart spun out of the lead on lap 30 and Brabham’s new 32-valve Climax engine seized. Hill recovered to lead the Ferraris of Bandini and Surtees, and on lap 79 Paul Hawkins crashed into the harbour — his car sank, though Hawkins escaped unhurt. Surtees ran out of fuel on the final lap, allowing Stewart to pip him for third. Richard Attwood also crashed, the leaders narrowly avoiding him.
