Notes[]
- Lap leaders: Jackie Stewart (1-14)
- Jackie Stewart took his 27th and last grand prix victory in this race. This was a record that stood for fourteen years until Alain Prost finally surpassed it in 1987.
- Niki Lauda had outqualified his team mates by eight seconds, but due to a suspension failure, crashed in the fast uphill section Kesselchen after Bergwerk, escaping with a broken wrist.
- Jacky Ickx and Ronnie Peterson battled for 3rd on the first lap, but at Breidsheid and Ex-Muhle the alternator and the ignition on Peterson's Lotus put him out of the race. He spent the next 3 laps trying to fix the car.
- First run of the German Grand Prix with limited advertising for all the cigarette brands. Tobacco advertising would return to the German Grand Prix in 1999 until being banned again from the 2006 race onwards.
- The race was rebroadcast in 2003 in the USA on Speed Channel as a special broadcast of their Formula 1 retrospective, Formula One Decade. Commentary was by Jackie Stewart and David Hobbs.[1][2]
