United States Grand Prix 1965 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Graham Hill claimed victory at Watkins Glen, delivering BRM's second consecutive win and securing second place in the championship standings. The 1962 World Champion's composed performance at the scenic New York circuit demonstrated his consistent excellence throughout the season, even if he couldn't match Jim Clark's dominant pace. Hill's victory provided some consolation for a season spent chasing the uncatchable Lotus driver.

Dan Gurney finished second ahead of team owner Jack Brabham, with both Brabham-Climax drivers showing strong form. Clark's season ended without victory at Watkins Glen, though his championship had long been secured. Hill's win moved him clear of Jackie Stewart in the final standings, rewarding his consistency throughout the campaign. The penultimate round highlighted BRM's resurgence, with the team winning two of the final three races despite Clark's overwhelming championship dominance.
