German Grand Prix 1973 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Stewart claimed his fifth and final victory of the season at the Nürburgring, mastering the fearsome Nordschleife one last time to mathematically secure his third World Championship. The Scottish legend's ability to navigate the 14-mile circuit faster than anyone else had been a hallmark of his career, and this victory served as a fitting way to clinch his final title. Cevert's second place completed yet another Tyrrell one-two, while Jacky Ickx's third place for McLaren demonstrated the Belgian's continued competitiveness despite Ferrari's struggles. Stewart's championship triumph with four races remaining allowed him to approach the season finale without pressure, though tragedy at Watkins Glen would rob him of the celebration he deserved. The Nürburgring victory stood as Stewart's 27th career win, a record that would stand until Alain Prost surpassed it in 1987.
