The race was run over 60 laps of the circuit, and was won by Belgian driver Willy Mairesse in a Ferrari 156. This race was held on the same day as the 1962 Dutch Grand Prix, and consequently many of the top drivers at that time were not present in Naples. Only the 10 fastest cars in qualifying were allowed to start the race, leaving a number of the more unusual entrants on the sidelines. The two Ferraris were dominant throughout the weekend, with Lorenzo Bandini leading from the start of the race until lap 24, when he was passed by Mairesse, who led until the end. Carlo Abate finished fourth in his first Formula One race, narrowly beaten by Keith Greene."The Formula One Record Book", John Thompson, 1974, pp.86-87 Qualifying Pos No. Driver Constructor Lap Gap 1 6 Italy Lorenzo Bandini Ferrari 1:18.7 — 2 10 Belgium Willy Mairesse Ferrari 1:18.9 +0.2 3 12 UK Keith Greene Gilby-Climax 1:21.2 +2.5 4 14 UK Tim Parnell Lotus-Climax 1:21.2 +2.5 5 4 UK Ian Burgess Cooper-Climax 1:22.4 +3.7 6 2 New Zealand Tony Shelly Lotus-Climax 1:22.9 +4.2 7 32 Italy Carlo Abate Porsche 1:23.3 +4.6 8 24 USA Tony Settember Emeryson-Climax 1:23.4 +4.7 9 46 UK David Piper Lotus-Climax 1:24.4 +5.7 10 26 Italy Gaetano Starrabba Lotus-Maserati 1:25.1 +6.4 11 42 UK Graham Eden Emeryson-Climax 1:26.8 +8.1 12 18 Italy Roberto Lippi De Tomaso-O.S.C.A. 1:27.0 +8.3 13 8 USA Jay Chamberlain Lotus-Climax 1:27.1 +8.4 14 40 Switzerland Heinz Schiller Porsche 1:27.2 +8.5 15 34 France Maurice Caillet Cegga-Maserati 1:28.1 +9.4 16 38 Italy Gastone Zanarotti De Tomaso-O.S.C.A. 1:29.6 +10.9 17 48 Germany Günther Seiffert Lotus-Climax 1:33.0 +14.3 Results Pos No. Driver Entrant Constructor Laps Time/Retired Grid 1 10 Belgium Willy Mairesse SEFAC Ferrari Ferrari 60 1.19:36.1 2 2 6 Italy Lorenzo Bandini SEFAC Ferrari Ferrari 60 +3.3 s 1 3 12 UK Keith Greene Gilby Engineering Gilby-Climax 59 + 1 Lap 3 4 32 Italy Carlo Abate Scuderia SSS Republica di Venezia Porsche 59 + 1 Lap 7 5 4 UK Ian Burgess Anglo-American Equipe Cooper-Climax 58 + 2 Laps 5 6 2 New Zealand Tony Shelly John Dalton Lotus-Climax 58 + 2 Laps 6 7 14 UK Tim Parnell Tim Parnell Lotus-Climax 55 + 5 Laps 4 8 46 UK David Piper David Piper Lotus-Climax 51 + 9 Laps 9 9 24 USA Tony Settember Emeryson Cars Emeryson-Climax 50 + 10 Laps 8 Ret 26 Italy Gaetano Starrabba Gaetano Starrabba Lotus-Maserati 0 Half-shaft 10 DNQ 42 UK Graham Eden Graham Eden Emeryson-Climax - DNQ 18 Italy Roberto Lippi Scuderia Settecolli De Tomaso-O.S.C.A. - DNQ 8 USA Jay Chamberlain Jay Chamberlain Lotus-Climax - DNQ 40 Switzerland Heinz Schiller Scuderia Filipinetti Porsche - DNQ 34 France Maurice Caillet Ets Cegga Cegga-Maserati - DNQ 38 Italy Gastone Zanarotti Scuderia Tomaso De Tomaso-O.S.C.A. - DNQ 48 Germany Günther Seiffert Autosport Team Wolfgang Seidel Lotus-Climax - DNA 16 UK John Campbell-Jones Emeryson Cars Emeryson-Climax Car at Zandvoort - DNA 20 Italy Dino Govoni Dino Govoni Emeryson-Maserati Withdrew - DNA 22 Italy Umberto Filotico Umberto Filotico Cooper-Climax Withdrew - DNA 28 Switzerland "Wal Ever" "Wal Ever" Cooper Withdrew - DNA 36 Switzerland Jo Siffert Scuderia Filipinetti Lotus-Climax Withdrew - References "The Grand Prix Who's Who", Steve Small, 1995.
