[edit] Season summary

Jim Clark's second championship included six wins interrupted only by non-starting at Monaco whilst he was away winning the Indianapolis 500. Jackie Stewart finished third in the championship on his debut, and Richie Ginther won his only, and Honda's first, grand prix in the final race of the 1.5 litre formula. Points only counted for top-placed car for each constructor.
