Race report

Jackie Stewart qualified the Matra MS80 on pole, but opted to drive the previous season's MS10 and so started from the back of the grid. Jack Brabham led from start to finish, but suffered from fuel starvation in the closing stages and finished only seconds ahead of Jochen Rindt, who had suffered from water in the ignition system at the start and dropped back to tenth place, subsequently setting fastest lap in his Lotus 49B as he worked his way through the field. Jackie Stewart finished third, narrowly ahead of Jacky Ickx.
