    Race Review:

    It had been planned for the Italian Grand Prix to use the full road and oval circuit at Monza but on Friday afternoon it was decided that it would be wiser to race on the shorter 3.57-mile track. Qualifying witnessed a nasty accident for Chris Amon in his Reg Parnell Lola, the New Zealander suffering serious injuries in the accident.

    There had been a number of changes in the driver lineup with Ferrari hiring Lorenzo Bandini to replace the injured Willy Mairesse He was replaced at Scuderia Centro Sud by Tino Brambilla. Team Lotus also had a new driver as Trevor Taylor was out of action following a spectacular crash in the non-championship Mediterranean GP at Enna. As the team's reserve driver Peter Arundell was racing at Albi, Lotus hired Mike Spence to be Jim Clark's team mate.

    In the end John Surtees was on pole position in his new Ferrari with Graham Hill alongside him on the front row in his BRM. Clark and Richie Ginther (BRM) shared the second row.

    Clark and Hill disappeared off into the country side by side at front of the pack but by the end of the first lap Hill was ahead although he was under threat from Surtees with Clark back in third position. It was not until the fourth lap that Surtees took the lead and Clark took advantage of the situation to move to second place. The two then moved away from Hill but on lap 17 Surtees's race ended with an engine failure. Without another car to help him with a tow Clark slipped back towards Hill and Dan Gurney (Brabham) and the three of them became involved in an exciting battle for the lead. Eventually Hill began to have clutch problems and dropped away, leaving Clark and Gurney alone. When The American stopped on lap 63 with a fuel feed problem Clark was able to slow a little and this allowed Ginther to unlap himself to finish second over a minute and half behind Clark. Third place went to Bruce McLaren in his Cooper-Climax after Jack Brabham, Jo Bonnier and Innes Ireland all ran into trouble in the closing laps. Ireland was classified fourth despite not finishing the race with Brabham fifth and Tony Maggs sixth in his Cooper-Climax.
