Pre-Race Report
Championship standings
Brabham has extended his lead to sixteen points over Hill, with Stewart two points further back.
Previous race
At Zandvoort, Clark led and pulled clear of the Brabhams in the underpowered 2-litre Lotus before a broken shock absorber punctured the water pump, forcing a pit stop that dropped him two laps behind. Brabham won his third consecutive race, Hill second, Clark third — Clark’s first podium of the year.
Entrants
Concerned about a thin entry, the FIA has permitted Formula Two cars to compete alongside the Formula One field. F2 entries will not be eligible for championship points. Several drivers make their Formula One championship debuts in F2 machinery: Belgian Jacky Ickx, Frenchmen Jean-Pierre Beltoise and Jo Schlesser, Britons Piers Courage and Alan Rees, Germans Kurt Ahrens Jr. and Hubert Hahne, and Swiss driver Silvio Moser. French constructor Matra also makes its championship debut.
