1969 German Grand Prix

1969 German Grand Prix

The 1969 German Grand Prix was a Formula One race held at Nürburgring on 3 August 1969 with Formula Two cars competing by invitation. It was the seventh round of the 1969 World Championship for Drivers. The F2 entrants were not eligible for points in the World Championship.

Gerhard Mitter was killed during a practice session for this race at the "Schwedenkreuz" curve. He was practicing for BMW's "269" F2 project. As a suspension or steering failure was suspected, the BMW team with Hubert Hahne and Dieter Quester withdrew from the race, as did Mitter's teammate at Porsche, Hans Herrmann.

Classification

"Note: The race was run with both Formula One and Formula Two cars running together. Formula Two entrants are denoted by a pink background."

Notes

* Pole position: Jacky Ickx - 7:42.1
* Fastest lap: Jacky Ickx - 7:43.8 on lap 7
* Mario Andretti drove the 4WD Lotus 63 for very few laps in practice. The heavy fuel load for the race made the car ground out in lap 1 after a jump at "Wippermann", causing a crash that also took out Vic Elford.
