1969 Spanish Grand Prix

The 1969 Spanish Grand Prix was a Formula One race, held at Montjuïc circuit on May 4, 1969.

This is one of only two Grands Prix where the winner finished two laps ahead of the runner-up, the other occasion being the 1995 Australian Grand Prix. This was the last race of the high wing era in Formula One. Both Lotus cars suffered massive accidents when their suspension-mounted wing supports failed. Despite the narrow confines of the Montjuïc circuit, drivers Jochen Rindt and Graham Hill both survived. Jackie Stewart produced one of his most dominant performances, on a circuit that would become synonymous with the danger and lack of professionalism he detested. Fact|date=November 2007
