The race would be remembered as the debut for the Lotus 49 and the Ford Cosworth DFV engine, heralding the start of a new era in Grand Prix racing. The Dutch Grand Prix of 1967 was the first to follow the death of Ferrari racer Lorenzo Bandini in Monaco, with most of the front runners arriving late after racing at the Indianapolis 500. The was a semi-shock during practice/qualifying, as Graham Hill claimed pole in the new Lotus 49, which was expected to be quick, but not on the weekend that it made its first appearance. A chaotic start almost saw an official involved in an accident when he failed to clear the grid before the flag was dropped. Denny Hulme, Championship leader, was badly held up, while Hill sprinted into the lead ahead of Jack Brabham and Dan Gurney. Further down the order was Jim Clark, who was driving the second 49 for the first time so started eighth, almost two seconds slower than teammate Hill. However, the Scot was a quick learner, and so he was steadily climbing the order, taking Hulme and John Surtees on the opening lap before moving past Chris Amon to break into the top five. Retirements for Gurney, who was battling for third with Jochen Rindt, and Hill then pushed Clark into the top three, before a series of quick laps saw him sweep into the lead. The final move on Brabham was decisively done into the legendary Tarzan hairpin at the start of the lap, with Clark duly driving off into the distance. The Scot eventually cruised home to record a first win of the season for himself and Team Lotus, as well as a debut victory for the new Cosworth DFV engine. Brabham was a lonely second when Rindt dropped out, while Hulme battled up to third after a tussle with Amon. Mike Parkes and Ludovico Scarfiotti completed the points in the other Ferraris.
