Notes

  • F2 entries were ineligible to score points which meant Bruce McLaren did not score two points for his fifth-place finish.
  • Despite being the fifth-placed F1 car, Cliff Allison did not score any points because he finished behind five F2 cars.
  • Peter Collins ended lap 10 as the race leader before retiring on the following lap.
