The race was run over 37 laps of the circuit, and was won by Australian driver Jack Brabham in a Cooper T53. This was the first Formula One event in Europe to be run to the new 1.5 litre rules, and the field was bolstered by a number of Intercontinental Formula cars, i.e. cars that conformed to the old 2.5 litre Formula One. Only two of the Intercontinental Formula cars finished the race, but they were a lap ahead of the other finishers. Some of the cars conforming to the new Formula One regulations were converted Formula Two cars. Results Note: a blue background indicates an Intercontinental Formula entrant.
