Race Summary
Jim Clark claimed his fifth victory of the season at Zandvoort, delivering another commanding performance at the Dutch seaside circuit. The Scottish champion controlled the race with his characteristic ease, holding off Jackie Stewart's challenge to maintain his perfect record since Monaco. Clark's supremacy at Zandvoort demonstrated his versatility across different circuit types, from the high-speed challenge of Spa to the technical demands of the Dutch track.
Stewart secured his fourth second-place finish of the season, continuing his impressive rookie campaign despite being unable to match Clark's relentless pace. Dan Gurney completed the podium for Brabham-Climax in third. Clark's fifth win from seven races effectively sealed the championship, with his points advantage appearing insurmountable even with three races remaining. The victory confirmed 1965 as one of Formula 1's most dominant seasons by a single driver, rivaling Clark's own 1963 championship triumph.
