Formula 1 - 1979 - Round 10 - German GP

Raceday proved to be another warm affair, with overnight rain during Saturday having helped wash away the worst of the remaining dust from the Stadium.[2] The pre-race warm-up would pass without issue, barring a gearbox complaint for Niki Lauda, with no major issues for teams to solve during the support races for Renault 5s and the local touring car series.[2] The Grand Prix cars duly rolled out of the pits half an hour prior to the 2:00pm start time, before all twenty-four qualifiers made it around the parade lap to take the start.[2]
