1970

The 1970 Formula One World Championship is a thrilling and tragic season, with Jochen Rindt winning the World Drivers' Championship posthumously. Jochen Rindt, driving for Lotus, secures the championship despite his tragic death during the season. He wins five races. Rindt’s dominant performances put him in a strong position to clinch the title, and his lead in the points standings is enough for him to become the first (and only) posthumous World Champion in Formula One history. His passing at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza after a crash casts a shadow over the season, but his championship win is a testament to his remarkable talent.
