It was race 3 of 10 in both the 1965 World Championship of Drivers and the 1965 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers. The race was won by British driver Jim Clark who led every lap of the race driving a Lotus 33. It was one of the Scot's most dominant wins. In the rain, he pulled away and with a third of the race to go, the Lotus driver was leading his fellow Scotsman Jackie Stewart by 1 minute and 20 seconds. However, for the last six laps Clark eased off dramatically and when the chequered flag was waved his lead was down to just under 45 seconds.https://peterwindsor.com/category/jim-clarks-1965-season/page/3/ Jim Clark's 1965 season peterwindsor.com 17 January 2017MotorSport Magazine Archive Belgian Grand Prix: Scotland Forever https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/july-1965/12/belgian-grand-prix-scotland-forever 13 June 1965 28 December 2018 Classification Qualifying Pos No Driver Constructor Time Gap1 7 UK Graham Hill BRM 3:45.4—2 17 UK Jim Clark Lotus-Climax 3:47.5 +2.13 8 UK Jackie Stewart BRM 3:48.8 +3.44 10 USA Richie Ginther Honda 3:49.0 +3.65 15 USA Dan Gurney Brabham-Climax 3:49.2 +3.86 1 UK John Surtees Ferrari 3:49.7 +4.37 20 Sweden Jo Bonnier Brabham-Climax 3:50.7 +5.38 21 Switzerland Jo Siffert Brabham-BRM 3:51.3 +5.99 4 New Zealand Bruce McLaren Cooper-Climax 3:51.5 +6.110 14 Australia Jack Brabham Brabham-Climax 3:52.3 +6.911 11 USA Ronnie Bucknum Honda 3:52.6 +7.212 18 UK Mike Spence Lotus-Climax 3:53.2 +7.813 23 UK Richard Attwood Lotus-BRM 3:53.3 +7.914 5 Austria Jochen Rindt Cooper-Climax 3:54.0 +8.615 2 Italy Lorenzo Bandini Ferrari 3:57.4 +12.016 22 UK Innes Ireland Lotus-BRM 3:59.0 +13.617 27 Belgium Lucien Bianchi BRM 3:59.4 +14.018 26 Australia Frank Gardner Brabham-BRM 3:59.4 +14.019 24 UK Bob Anderson Brabham-Climax 3:59.8 +14.420 29 USA Masten Gregory BRM 4:02.8 +17.4 Source:http://www.chicanef1.com/race.pl?year=1965&gp=Belgian%20GP&r=1&type=qual 1965 Belgian GP Qualification www.chicanef1.com 12 August 2020https://database.motorsportmagazine.com/database/races/1965-belgian-grand-prix 1965 Belgian Grand Prix Motor Sport Magazine 12 August 2020 Race Pos No Driver Constructor Laps Time/Retired Grid Points 1 17 UK Jim Clark Lotus-Climax 32 2:23:34.8 2 9 2 8 UK Jackie Stewart BRM 32 +44.8 secs 3 6 3 4 New Zealand Bruce McLaren Cooper-Climax 31 +1 Lap 9 4 4 14 Australia Jack Brabham Brabham-Climax 31 +1 Lap 10 3 5 7 UK Graham Hill BRM 31 +1 Lap 1 2 6 10 USA Richie Ginther Honda 31 +1 Lap 4 1 7 18 UK Mike Spence Lotus-Climax 31 +1 Lap 12 8 21 Switzerland Jo Siffert Brabham-BRM 31 +1 Lap 8 9 2 Italy Lorenzo Bandini Ferrari 30 +2 Laps 15 10 15 USA Dan Gurney Brabham-Climax 30 +2 Laps 5 11 5 Austria Jochen Rindt Cooper-Climax 29 +3 Laps 14 12 27 Belgium Lucien Bianchi BRM 29 +3 Laps 17 13 22 UK Innes Ireland Lotus-BRM 27 +5 Laps 16 14 23 UK Richard Attwood Lotus-BRM 26 Accident 13 Ret Retired 29 USA Masten Gregory BRM 12 Fuel pump 20 Ret Retired 20 Sweden Jo Bonnier Brabham-Climax 9 Ignition 7 Ret Retired 11 USA Ronnie Bucknum Honda 9 Gearbox 11 Ret Retired 1 UK John Surtees Ferrari 5 Engine 6 Ret Retired 26 Australia Frank Gardner Brabham-BRM 3 Ignition 18 DNS Did not start 24 UK Bob Anderson Brabham-Climax 0 Engine 19 WD Withdrawn 28 Belgium Willy Mairesse BRM Too slowSource:http://www.formula1.com/results/season/1965/590/ 1965 Belgian Grand Prix formula1.com 26 September 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20131031004235/http://www.formula1.com/results/season/1965/590/ 31 October 2013 Notes Jim Clark now held the sole record of four Belgian Grand Prix wins, breaking the old record of three wins set by Juan Manuel Fangio at the 1955 Belgian Grand Prix. This was the first Formula One World Championship point for Honda as a constructor and as an engine supplier, also the first for a Japanese and Asian constructor and engine supplier. A Coventry Climax-powered car now had won the Belgian Grand Prix a record five times, breaking the old record of four wins set by Ferrari at the 1961 Belgian Grand Prix.
