The race took place on the iconic Circuit de Monaco, known for its narrow streets, tight corners, and scenic harbor views.

British driver Graham Hill, piloting his BRM, emerged victorious after a dominant performance, marking his second consecutive win at Monaco. His mastery of the circuit earned him the nickname “Mr. Monaco.” Richie Ginther, Hill’s teammate at BRM, delivered a strong performance to secure second place, showcasing the team’s strength during the event. In a remarkable debut, Peter Arundell finished third for Lotus, proving his talent on one of the most challenging tracks in motorsport.
The race also saw retirements from notable contenders, including world champion Jim Clark, whose Lotus suffered mechanical issues, and Jack Brabham, who encountered gearbox trouble. These incidents highlighted the demanding nature of the Monaco Grand Prix, where both technical reliability and driver precision are essential for success.
