Going Into This Race
Pre-Race Report
Championship standings
Hill can still theoretically overhaul Clark for the championship, though the gap is substantial after Clark’s run of form.
Previous race
At Zandvoort, Clark won his fifth race from six starts. Hill fell back early with rev counter problems. Ginther led the first two laps in the Honda before Hill and Clark moved ahead; Clark pulled clear and Stewart held second ahead of Gurney.
Championship permutations
Clark can clinch the World Championship at the Nürburgring. With three rounds remaining after this race, a win here would seal the title with races to spare.
Milestones
Clark seeks his fifth consecutive victory. The last driver to win five Formula One championship races in a row was Jack Brabham in 1960.
