The race, contested over 45 laps, was the tenth race of the 1979 Formula One season and was won by Alan Jones, driving a Williams-Ford, with team-mate Clay Regazzoni second and Jacques Laffite third in a Ligier-Ford. This was the second consecutive win for the Williams team, following Regazzoni's triumph at Silverstone two weeks previously. Jean-Pierre Jabouille had taken pole position in his Renault, but out-braked himself and spun off chasing Jones into the Sachskurve on the seventh lap. Jones had a leaky rear tire for the last twenty laps of the race, but Regazzoni received orders to stay behind. The one-two finish moved Williams into third place in the Constructors' Championship.Rally & Racing: Depåsnack Pit talk sv Teknikens Värld Specialtidningsförlaget AB Stockholm, Sweden 4–6 17 August 1979 17 31 George Johansson Qualifying Pos No Driver Constructor Car Lap Gap 1 15 France Jean-Pierre Jabouille Renault Renault RS10 1:48.48 2 27 Australia Alan Jones Williams-Ford Williams FW07 1:48.75 +0.27 3 26 France Jacques Laffite Ligier-Ford Ligier JS11 1:49.43 +0.95 4 6 Brazil 1968 Nelson Piquet Brabham-Alfa Romeo Brabham BT48 1:49.50 +1.02 5 11 South Africa 1928 Jody Scheckter Ferrari Ferrari 312 T4 1:50.00 +1.52 6 28 Switzerland Clay Regazzoni Williams-Ford Williams FW07 1:50.12 +1.64 7 5 Austria Niki Lauda Brabham-Alfa Romeo Brabham BT48 1:50.37 +1.89 8 3 France Didier Pironi Tyrrell-Ford Tyrrell 009 1:50.40 +1.92 9 12 Canada Gilles Villeneuve Ferrari Ferrari 312 T4 1:50.41 +1.93 10 16 France René Arnoux Renault Renault RS10 1:50.48 +2.00 11 1 US Mario Andretti Lotus-Ford Lotus 79 1:50.68 +2.20 12 7 UK John Watson McLaren-Ford McLaren M29 1:50.86 +2.38 13 2 Argentina Carlos Reutemann Lotus-Ford Lotus 79 1:50.94 +2.46 14 25 Belgium Jacky Ickx Ligier-Ford Ligier JS11 1:51.07 +2.59 15 8 France Patrick Tambay McLaren-Ford McLaren M29 1:51.47 +2.99 16 4 UK Geoff Lees Tyrrell-Ford Tyrrell 009 1:51.50 +3.02 17 20 Finland Keke Rosberg Wolf-Ford Wolf WR7 1:52.01 +3.53 18 30 West Germany Jochen Mass Arrows-Ford Arrows A2 1:52.74 +4.26 19 29 Italy Riccardo Patrese Arrows-Ford Arrows A2-1 1:52.93 +4.45 20 17 Netherlands Jan Lammers Shadow-Ford Shadow DN9B 1:53.59 +5.11 21 18 Italy Elio de Angelis Shadow-Ford Shadow DN9B 1:53.73 +5.25 22 14 Brazil 1968 Emerson Fittipaldi Fittipaldi-Ford Fittipaldi F6A 1:54.01 +5.53 23 9 West Germany Hans-Joachim Stuck ATS-Ford ATS D2 1:54.47 +5.99 24 31 Mexico Héctor Rebaque Lotus-Ford Lotus 79 1:55.86 +7.38 DNQ Did not qualify 22 France Patrick Gaillard Ensign-Ford Ensign N179 1:55.95 +7.47 DNQ Did not qualify 24 Italy Arturo Merzario Merzario-Ford Merzario A2 2:01.84 +13.36Source: Classification Pos No Driver Constructor Tyre Laps Time/Retired Grid Points 1 27 Australia Alan Jones Williams-Ford Goodyear 45 1:24:48.83 2 9 2 28 Switzerland Clay Regazzoni Williams-Ford Goodyear 45 +2.91 6 6 3 26 France Jacques Laffite Ligier-Ford Goodyear 45 +18.39 3 4 4 11 South Africa 1928 Jody Scheckter Ferrari Michelin 45 +31.20 5 3 5 7 UK John Watson McLaren-Ford Goodyear 45 +1:37.80 12 2 6 30 West Germany Jochen Mass Arrows-Ford Goodyear 44 +1 Lap 18 1 7 4 UK Geoff Lees Tyrrell-Ford Goodyear 44 +1 Lap 16 8 12 Canada Gilles Villeneuve Ferrari Michelin 44 +1 Lap 9 9 3 France Didier Pironi Tyrrell-Ford Goodyear 44 +1 Lap 8 10 17 Netherlands Jan Lammers Shadow-Ford Goodyear 44 +1 Lap 20 11 18 Italy Elio de Angelis Shadow-Ford Goodyear 43 +2 Laps 21 12 6 Brazil 1968 Nelson Piquet Brabham-Alfa Romeo Goodyear 42 Engine 4 Ret Retired 29 Italy Riccardo Patrese Arrows-Ford Goodyear 34 Tyre 19 Ret Retired 8 France Patrick Tambay McLaren-Ford Goodyear 30 Suspension 15 Ret Retired 20 Finland Keke Rosberg Wolf-Ford Goodyear 29 Engine 17 Ret Retired 5 Austria Niki Lauda Brabham-Alfa Romeo Goodyear 27 Engine 7 Ret Retired 25 Belgium Jacky Ickx Ligier-Ford Goodyear 24 Tyre 14 Ret Retired 31 Mexico Héctor Rebaque Lotus-Ford Goodyear 22 Handling 24 Ret Retired 1 US Mario Andretti Lotus-Ford Goodyear 16 Transmission 11 Ret Retired 16 France René Arnoux Renault Michelin 9 Tyre 10 Ret Retired 15 France Jean-Pierre Jabouille Renault Michelin 7 Spun Off 1 Ret Retired 14 Brazil 1968 Emerson Fittipaldi Fittipaldi-Ford Goodyear 4 Electrical 22 Ret Retired 2 Argentina Carlos Reutemann Lotus-Ford Goodyear 1 Accident 13 Ret Retired 9 West Germany Hans-Joachim Stuck ATS-Ford Goodyear 0 Suspension 23 DNQ Did not qualify 22 France Patrick Gaillard Ensign-Ford Goodyear DNQ Did not qualify 24 Italy Arturo Merzario Merzario-Ford Goodyear Source:http://www.formula1.com/results/season/1979/403/ 1979 German Grand Prix formula1.com 23 December 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20140919001500/http://www.formula1.com/results/season/1979/403/ 19 September 2014https://gparchive.com/formula-1/1979-german-grand-prix/ 1979 German Grand Prix - Race Results & History - GP Archive GPArchive.com 29 July 1979 6 November 2021 Notes This was the 25th Grand Prix start for Arrows.
