However, Clark had other ideas and he worked his way through the field from 10th to eventually overtake Hill on the 22nd lap, establishing a new lap record for the 1.5 litre formula in the process. Von Trips got away fastest, closely followed by Phil Hill, and to many observers it seemed they would race through to the end with little opposition. On a beautiful sunny day the three Ferraris lined up on the front row of the grid, with Moss and Graham Hill just behind them.
Phil Hill came second, with Richie Ginther only being denied third because of outstanding driving by Jim Clark and Stirling Moss in their Lotuses. The German Count Wolfgang "Taffy" von Trips won his first grand prix at the seaside circuit of Zandvoort, as Ferrari dominated with their V6 shark-nose cars.
