It was the second victory in a month for aging (66) Automaker Enzo Ferrari, gave him a shot at the Grand Prix manufacturers' championship that he once monopolized but has not won since 1961. It also gave ex-Motorcyclist Surtees 9 points toward the drivers' championship, moved him into third place behind Britain's Graham Hill and Scotland's defending champion Jimmy Clark, both...
