The 1963 Monaco Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Monaco on 26 May 1963. It was race 1 of 10 in both the 1963 World Championship of Drivers and the 1963 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers. The 100-lap race was won by British driver Graham Hill driving a BRM P57 after Jim Clark retired from the lead with a broken gearbox on lap 78.
Clark took pole position for the event ahead of Hill and John Surtees. The two BRM drivers, Hill and Richie Ginther, led the opening laps in first and second respectively. Clark overtook Ginther for second on lap 5, and Hill for the lead on lap 18. Surtees was also able to overtake Ginther and Hill into second by lap 56, before Hill re-overtook him. Surtees then fell back. Clark retired on lap 78 with a gearbox failure, allowing Hill to win the race, with Ginther and Bruce McLaren completing the podium. Surtees, suffering from his mechanical issue, finished fourth.[1]

^1 - Before the last qualifying session, Chris Amon was instructed to hand his car over to Maurice Trintignant, who had a guaranteed starting berth, but had suffered terminal issues with his own car.
^2 - Despite the withdrawal of Chris Amon, Bernard Collomb did not qualify for the 16th and final spot on the grid, as his fastest lap time was not close enough to a 1:40 benchmark set by the organizers.
