A pitstop lost him almost a minute to the Ferraris of Mike Hawthorn&nbsp;and Peter Collins, but with a lap to go he was back in front. The lap record, his own, shattered on the way by a full 23 seconds, 11 seconds faster than he&#8217;d lapped the N\u00fcrburgring&nbsp;to set pole. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OUcyO9K4EU0\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>1968 German Grand Prix<\/h3>\n<p>The daunting prospect of the N\u00fcrburgring,&nbsp;pouring, persistent rain;&nbsp;the worst of&nbsp;combinations for safety advocate Jackie Stewart.
