Pre-Race Report

Championship standings

Brabham is champion. Surtees and Rindt are contesting second place in the final round of the season.

Previous race

At Watkins Glen, Clark won by over a lap from Rindt, with Surtees third. Clark recorded his 20th World Championship victory — the only win ever for a 16-cylinder engine in Formula One — in the Lotus 43 powered by the BRM H16. Rindt ran out of fuel in the closing laps; his final lap took more than twice the leader’s lap time and was not counted, placing him a lap behind Clark on the official classification. Brabham won the Constructors’ championship when Bandini’s Ferrari retired.
