King of the Ring

The 1973 German Grand Prix held at the Nurburgring was won by Jackie Stewart (Tyrrell 006). It was Stewart’s 27th and final Grand Prix victory, a record that would stand until 1987.

Team-mate François Cevert finished second, with Jacky Ickx third in a McLaren.

The Ferrari, March, Ensign, Tecno and Hesketh teams did not participate. To boost the field, McLaren, Brabham and Surtees teams all entered three cars. Ferrari released Ickx to drive the third McLaren, Stommelen drove the third Brabham and Mass drove the third Surtees.

Jackie Stewart won three times at the Ring : 1968, 1971, 1973.
