The 1965 Monaco Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at 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 first race of the season. The 100-lap race was won by BRM driver Graham Hill from pole position. Lorenzo Bandini finished second for the 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.[1][2] New Zealand driver and future World Champion Denny Hulme made his Formula One World Championship debut at this Grand Prix, finishing eighth.[3]
As of 2024[update], this race marked the second and most recent time a driver has crashed into the harbour when Paul Hawkins fell in on lap 79. Alberto Ascari first crashed there during his accident at the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix.[4][5]
