The 1967 Italian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza on September 10, 1967. It was won by British driver John Surtees driving a Honda RA300. Jim Clark led the race until a little after the half way point when he picked up a puncture and lost an entire lap. He then recovered through the field to take the lead with only a couple of laps to go. Clark then led until the final lap when a faulty fuel pump restricted him to third place. Jack Brabham and Surtees passed the Scotsman finished first and second, with Surtees ahead by less than a car length at the line. This was the second victory for the Honda F1 team.

Famous quotes containing the words italian and/or grand:
“If the study of his images
Is the study of man, this image of Saturday,
This Italian symbol, this Southern landscape, is like
A waking, as in images we awake,
Within the very object that we seek,
Participants of its being.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The grand Perhaps! We look on helplessly,
There the old misgivings, crooked questions are.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
