The race would be remembered for its extremely wet conditions, and a performance from future World Champion Jackie Stewart that would go down as one of the best drives in motorsport history. It was not just Sunday that saw heavy rain produce some heroics, with Jacky Ickx slithering to pole for Ferrari by hitting the circuit as early as possible. The Belgian was over ten seconds quicker than his nearest rival, teammate Chris Amon, with Jochen Rindt of Brabham-Repco completing the front row, almost thirty seconds slower. Low cloud and heavy rain shrouded the Nürburgring on Sunday, although the drivers did decide to simply "get on with it" in spite of the terrible conditions. When the flag dropped it would be Graham Hill who disappeared onto the Nordschleife first, followed by Amon, Rindt and Stewart as the entire field made it onto the Nordschleife without issue. Come the end of the first lap and Stewart was leading having danced past Hill, Amon and Rindt with little issue after the Karusell. Vic Elford was the first victim of the conditions, crashing out at Schwalbenzschwanz just moments after Stewart snatched the lead. Elford would not be the only driver to lose it in the horrid conditions, fortunately all ending without injury, although from that moment on the race was all about the Scot out front. At the end of the first lap, Stewart had established a nine second lead, a gap that would grow to thirty seconds at the start of the third lap. The Scot's lead continued to grow at an average of half a minute a lap as Hill spun behind, fortunate to continue on let alone hold on to second. From that moment on Hill and Rindt would be in a battle for second, as Stewart's lead ballooned out to four minutes. Come the end of the race Stewart's lead was still north of four minutes, a staggering gap after fourteen laps of action. Hill fended off Rindt, extending his lead at the top of the Championship, with Ickx cruising home to a lonely fourth. Jack Brabham and Pedro Rodríguez would slither across the line to claim the final points, as fourteen drivers survived a wet afternoon in the "Green Hell". The race would also be notable for being the first to feature a driver using a full face crash helmet, Dan Gurney the man to start the latest safety trend.
