The race would be remembered for a race long battle for third, after the battle for first disintegrated through retirements. Qualifying had seen Jochen Rindt, returning from a badly broken nose, take pole for Lotus-Ford Cosworth, sharing the front row with Jackie Stewart and teammate Graham Hill. Practice had also seen the top teams test out some four-wheel-drive cars, although all of the drivers would race with more conventional rear-wheel-drive efforts. Hill would take the lead when the flag fell on raceday, with Rindt following him through into Tarzan. Stewart,second row starter Chris Amon and Denny Hulme would also fall into place, with the top five soon pulling away from the rest of the field. Rindt soon squeezed past Hill for the lead, while Jo Siffert escaped from the slower group to get amongst the leaders, jumping up to third in the early stages. Stewart would also get past Hill after a few laps, before joining Rindt in sprinting away from the Englishman just before Siffert moved onto the final podium spot. Ultimately, Rindt would retire with a mechanical issue, leaving Stewart with a sizeable lead. Hill would stop to cure a handling issue, leaving Hulme, Amon, Jacky Ickx and Jack Brabham to fight for third behind Siffert, with Amon ultimately securing the position a few laps from the end. For Stewart, it was a third win of the season and left him with a twelve point lead in the Championship.
