Sir Jackie Stewart lapped the field at the 1969 British Grand Prix, On This Day in 1969 - but only after a fast and furious battle with Jochen Rindt was cut short. They diced for the lead, inches apart, until lap 62, when a rear wing endplate on Rindt's Lotus 49B failed and began to scrape the tyre, forcing him to pit for repairs. 😩⁣ ⁣ #JackieStewart #SirJackieStewart #JochenRindt #Matra #Lotus #OnThisDay #OTD #F1 #BritishGP #Silverstone #FormulaOne #GrandPrix #gp #F1history #f1drivers #F1WorldChampionship #motorsport #openwheel #openwheelracing #autoracing #racing #1960s #60sF1 #BlackAndWhite #Monochrome #F1Photography #F1Photos #MotorsportImages #LATImages #RainerSchlegelmilch
