Race Summary
Jim Clark claimed his second victory of the season at Silverstone, mastering the British Grand Prix with the Cosworth DFV-powered Lotus 49. The Scottish champion's commanding performance before his home crowd demonstrated the DFV's superiority when reliability cooperated with speed. Clark's victory kept him in championship contention despite Lotus's ongoing reliability struggles that undermined their title challenge.
Denny Hulme finished second for Brabham-Repco ahead of Chris Amon's Ferrari, with both unable to match Clark's pace. The victory highlighted Lotus's speed advantage with the DFV engine, though mechanical failures would prevent Clark from mounting a sustained championship challenge. Brabham's consistent point-scoring demonstrated the wisdom of their reliable approach over pure speed.
