Pre-Race Report
Championship standings
Brabham’s back-to-back victories at France and Britain have opened a ten-point gap over Rindt, with Hulme and Bandini a point further back.
Previous race
At Brands Hatch, Brabham and Hill duelled at the start before rain arrived. Rindt changed to wet tyres and charged up to second, pressing Brabham hard, while Surtees held third. As the circuit dried, Rindt fell away and Surtees retired with mechanical failure. Brabham won from Hulme in the first 1–2 finish for the Brabham team, with Hill third and Clark fourth. Brabham’s win ended Jim Clark’s four-year consecutive winning streak at the British Grand Prix.
