Notes
- This was the Formula One World Championship debut race for Lance Reventlow, future Formula One Grand Prix winner Richie Ginther and seven-time Grand Prix motorcycle World Champion and future Formula One World Champion John Surtees.
- It was also the first Formula One World Championship pole position and Grand Prix win for Lotus. Secondly, Scarab made its debut in Formula One in this race as both a constructor and engine supplier.
- Italian engine supplier Castellotti made its debut as well in the Formula One World Championship.
- This was the third Monaco Grand Prix win for a Coventry Climax-powered car. It therefore broke the previous record set by Maserati at the 1957 Monaco Grand Prix.
