Urging his B.R.M. into the lead on the 53rd lap, the mustachioed Hill zipped through Monte Carlo's narrow streets at a record average of 72.6 m.p.h. to beat the U.S.'s Richie Ginther by one lap and win the 195-mile race for the second straight year. Scotland's Jimmy Clark, the 1963 champion, was forced to abandon his Lotus when it lost oil pressure six miles from the finish...
