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.

 McLaren - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beginning in 1992, McLaren's dominance began to be eroded by the ascendant Renault-powered Williams, a drop in form that was compounded by the departure of Honda from Formula One at the end of that season.
The team began the 2004 Formula One season with the MP4-19, which technical director Adrian Newey described as a "debugged version of the MP4-18." This proved to be anything but the case, and a new car was required by mid-season.
The next race, the European Grand Prix, was arguably the best race of the season from a Formula One fan's point of view due to the rain which hit the track twice during the race.

Not a bad position, given that this season has new rules, a new qualifying format and leaves drivers without electronic aids such as traction control, but the Ferrari drivers were still left to be shown how it’s truly done by McLaren, dominant throughout Friday practice and Saturday qualifying.
Last year’s champion-elect, but for a lapse in concentration at the end of the season, managed to put his McLaren MP4-23 on Pole for the first race of the season, whilst new team-mate Heikki Kovalainen was impressive with his third place position.
