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.
Despite a season marred by protests and concerns about driver safety — Fittipaldi refused to drive in the Spanish GP, which was stopped after 29 laps when a car launched into the crowd, killing four spectators — Lauda took nine poles and won five races to capture his first of three F1 crowns.
Formula One cars now sported huge airboxes behind the cockpits to increase air flow to the engine, leading the way (after a short experiment with the famous six-wheel Tyrrell P34, which was a front-runner throughout 1976) to the next major technical revolution in F1: ground effects.

Like a boxer, however, Lauda could not resist the urge to make comeback, and in 1982 he rejoined Formula One, winning his third GP after returning and the 1984 title, over Prost, by the wafer-thin margin of 1/2 point (with Prost taking seven wins to Lauda's five).
Finally giving in to the years, Lauda retired for good with 25 GP wins after the 1985 season, and now serves as a consultant to the Ferrari Team and current F1 idol Michael Schumacher.
