The 1967 Formula One season's second round was scheduled at Monaco four months after the season opener at Kyalami, where Pedro Rodríguez had scored an unexpected win. Pre-season events had seen Dan Gurney win the Race of Champions and Mike Parkes take the BRDC International Trophy, setting varied expectations for the field.
On May 7, 1967, Denny Hulme started from fourth on the grid and won the 100-lap Monaco Grand Prix in his Brabham. Graham Hill finished second for Lotus and Chris Amon third for Ferrari. The race was deeply affected by a fatal accident involving Ferrari driver Lorenzo Bandini in the closing stages, which overshadowed the sporting outcome.
Bandini's death brought renewed scrutiny to safety conditions in Formula One racing at Monaco. The circuit also underwent a modification, with the straight after the Gasworks hairpin lengthened by relocating the start-finish line closer to Ste-Devote, altering the track layout for subsequent events.
