The '''1965 Monaco Grand Prix''' was a [[Formula One]] [[motor race]] held at [[Circuit de Monaco|Monaco]] on 30 May 1965. It was race 2 of 10 in both the [[1965 World Championship of Drivers]] and the [[1965 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers]], albeit held almost five months after the [[1965 South African Grand Prix|first race]] of the season. The 100-lap race was won by [[British Racing Motors|BRM]] driver [[Graham Hill]] from [[pole position]]. [[Lorenzo Bandini]] finished second for the [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] team, and Hill's teammate [[Jackie Stewart]] came in third.

[[Jim Clark]], [[Dan Gurney]] and [[Mike Spence]] of [[Team Lotus]] did not participate in the Grand Prix. The team instead chose to race in the [[1965 Indy 500]], held the following day, which Clark won.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Malsher-Lopez |first=David |date=2023-04-07 |title=How Jim Clark's stats still hold up, 55 years on |url=https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/jim-clark-genius-legend-Lotus/4778023/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240328191842/https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/jim-clark-genius-legend-Lotus/4778023/ |archive-date=2024-03-28 |access-date=2024-10-05 |work=[[motorsport.com]] |publisher=[[Motorsport Network]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Hughes |first=Mark |date=April 1998 |title=The incredible rise and fall of Team Lotus |url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/april-1998/40/team-lotus-2/?v=7516fd43adaa |url-access=limited |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241005152738/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/april-1998/40/team-lotus-2/?v=7516fd43adaa |archive-date=2024-10-05 |access-date=2024-10-05 |work=[[Motor Sport (magazine)|Motor Sport]] |publisher=Motor Sport Magazine Ltd |pages=40–51 |issn=0027-2019 |quote=Clark and Lotus were the dominant partnership throughout the remainder of the 15-litre formula.

== Background ==
After debuting with [[Brabham]] at the previous race, Honda also made use of [[Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company|Goodyear]] rather than [[Dunlop Rubber|Dunlop]] tires in this race.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jenkinson |first=Denis |date=2014-07-07 |title=1965 Monaco Grand Prix race report: Hill fights back |url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/july-1965/32/xxiii-monaco-grand-prix/ |url-access=limited |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240328163222/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/july-1965/32/xxiii-monaco-grand-prix/ |archive-date=2024-03-28 |access-date=2024-10-05 |website=[[Motor Sport Magazine]] |language=en-GB}}</ref>

==Race report==
Hill and Stewart, both in BRMs, led the race from the start. Both spun, Hill after the car in front of him sprayed the track with parts, and Bandini took over the lead. Brabham, using the new, 32-valve [[Coventry Climax#FWMV|Coventry Climax FWMV Mark 7]] engine, overtook Bandini until the new engine blew up on the 43rd lap. Ferrari was now in first and second, with Bandini using the flat-twelve design ([[Ferrari 158#Ferrari 1512|Ferrari 1512]]) while Surtees had opted for the V8-engined [[Ferrari 158]]. Hill, however, had stayed in the race and was steadily closing in. During the chase, the lap record was beaten several times. On lap 65, Hill had got past both Ferraris and went on to build up a sizable lead, eventually winning by over a minute. Surtees ran out of petrol on the last lap, allowing Stewart to pip him for third place, with McLaren and Siffert rounding out the points-paying positions.<ref name=":0" />
