 | | Lotus returned in force in 1970, a season which was all about the brilliance of Austrian Jochen Rindt with the new Lotus 72 (taking the laurels in Monaco, Holland, France, Britain and Germany) and was overshadowed by Rindt's horrific death in practice for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza's infamous Parabolica corner. |
 | | Rindt won the 1970 championship posthumously, and his replacement as number one driver for Lotus, young Brazilian Emerson Fittipaldi, piloted the 72 to his first F1 win at the season-ending U.S. Grand Prix at Watkins Glen. |
 | | But at the German Grand Prix on 1 August, Lauda crashed his Ferrari at Bergwerk, a 150 mph section of the Nürburgring, in a massive, flaming accident that still brings shivers when viewed to this day. |
