| «I knew in the 1969 race, that I had to risk everything. We had to change a wheel bearing, which cost us much time. In the last two hours of the race we even lost the top 200 revs. jacky Ickx and I overtook each other two to four times per lap. My brakes were finished and I started to think about a pit stop to get the pads replaced. My advantage over the third-placed car was big enough. But I felt that even Ickx was driving on the very limit, so something could easily happen to him as well. So, I finished the race without stopping, but Jacky managed the same and won.» |
