1969 Spanish Grand Prix
Going Into This Race
Pre-Race Report
Previous race
Stewart won the South African Grand Prix from fourth on the grid, breaking the lap record while still heavy on fuel. Brabham’s rear wing collapsed on lap 5 and was removed in the pits, his handling compromised enough to force retirement. Andretti inherited second before a gearbox failure; Rindt dropped out with a failing fuel pump. Hill and Hulme completed the podium.
Entrants
The entry list is thin: the Targa Florio sportscar race falls on the same day, drawing teams away. Only twelve drivers manage to start.
Circuit
This is the first Formula One World Championship race at the Montjuïc street circuit in Barcelona, though the circuit has existed since 1933.
