Encyclopedia
The Jochen Rindt Gedächtnisrennen or the VI Rhein-Pokalrennen was a motor race
, run to Formula One
rules, held on 13 June 1971 at the Hockenheimring
, Germany
. The race was run over 35 laps of the circuit, and was dominated by Belgian driver Jacky Ickx
in a Ferrari
312B
.
The race was arranged after the Belgian Grand Prix
of 1971 was cancelled, in order to fill the gap between the Monaco Grand Prix
and the Dutch Grand Prix
. The German Grand Prix
had moved to the Nürburgring
, so the Hockenheim circuit was chosen for the race, which was also a memorial race for Jochen Rindt
, the reigning World Champion who had been killed at the 1970 Italian Grand Prix
.
On the same weekend, the 1971 24 Hours of Le Mans
was being held, so several of the regular Formula One drivers were absent from this race, including Chris Amon
, Jean-Pierre Beltoise
, Henri Pescarolo
, Pedro Rodríguez
and Jo Siffert
. There were other absentees: Jackie Stewart
and Denny Hulme
were racing in Canada, and Emerson Fittipaldi
was recovering from a road accident. Of the regular Formula One teams, Matra
were at Le Mans, Brabham were still repairing Graham Hill
's car after an accident in Monaco, and Tyrrell
elected not to take part. Scuderia Ferrari
had entered a car for Mario Andretti
but he missed the race after suffering burns in an accident in the USA.
As a tribute to Rindt, pole position on the grid was left vacant, leaving polesitter Ickx alone on the front row, taking the second slot.
. The gas turbine Lotus 56B
of Dave Walker
suffered an engine fire during practice, and Walker took over Tony Trimmer
's car for the race. Robert Lamplough
and Bernd Terbeck were driving old BRMs recently bought from the factory, and although Lamplough qualified his P133
relatively well, Terbeck's even older P126
blew its engine and he was unable to start the race.
in second, with Ronnie Peterson
following behind. Ickx stayed in front for the whole race, although Regazzoni stopped after three laps with a mechanical fault which ultimately cost him ten laps after a mechanic had to go out to fix it.
As the race continued, Reine Wisell
passed Peterson and was catching Ickx when he pitted with brake problems. Wisell lost two laps while his brakes were bled. Peterson himself encountered a clutch fault and began to fall further behind Ickx. Peter Gethin
retired on lap four with a broken throttle, and John Miles
had to retire three laps later with an engine fault. Ray Allen dropped out at the back of the field with a fuel leak on lap 15.
By this time, John Surtees
had passed Howden Ganley
for third, with Nanni Galli
's ailing March
in fifth. Rolf Stommelen
missed a chicane while racing with Walker and Skip Barber
, and the German was later given a one-minute penalty for this transgression. At the chequered flag, Ickx finished almost a minute ahead of Peterson, with Surtees over 20 seconds behind the Swede.
