Jochen Rindt / Cooper-Climax T77 (1965)
I always forget that Rindt wasn’t always a Lotus man.
Rindt started with Brabham, for a year in 1964, and then again for another year in 1968. In between he drove his share of Coopers, both the V8 Climax and Maserati V12s

The GP was won by John Surtees. Footage from this event was eventually used on the Grand Prix movie by John Frankenheimer.
