Pre-Race Report
Championship standings
Clark has won four of five races. Hill and Stewart remain the closest challengers, though the gap is widening.
Previous race
At Silverstone, Clark led away from pole with Hill close behind. With 16 laps remaining, Clark’s oil pressure began dropping every lap; he responded by killing the engine through the fast corners, costing at least 2 seconds a lap. Hill, who had earlier suffered brake trouble, closed rapidly but could not find a way past — Clark crossed the line just 3 seconds ahead. Hill second, Surtees third.
Between-race developments
The Dutch Grand Prix has moved from its traditional mid-May slot to mid-July this season, placing it just a week after the British Grand Prix.
Honda conducted extensive testing at Zandvoort ahead of this round.
