Jean-Pierre Beltoise
Friday’s session was very different, with everyone trying to set a competitive time. Nevertheless, Brabham’s pole time of 2min 10.7 (averaging a speed of 112.018 mph) was a full two seconds quicker than his team-mate Hulme, and nearly 4½ seconds ahead of everyone else. Third was claimed by Jochen Rindt, in a time of 2:15.1, with half a second covering the next four drivers; John Surtees, Graham Hill, Jean-Pierre Beltoise and Richard Attwood.
