1969 German Grand Prix

The 1969 German Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Nürburgring on 3 August 1969.

The 14-lap race was won by Belgian driver Jacky Ickx, driving a works Brabham-Ford.

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.

Stewart held on but then gearbox problems began to slow him and he dropped away, leaving Ickx in a dominant position.

Piers Courage had an accident at Breidscheid when he slipped on some oil and crashed into a ditch next to the Adenauer bridge.

Bruce McLaren finished third driving the McLaren M7C .
Mario Andretti drove a Lotus 63 in the race, but retired on the first lap.
