The 1970 Automobile World Championship was the 21st season of the Automobile World Championship, which is now known as the Formula 1 World Championship . Over 13 races between March 7, 1970 and October 25, 1970, the drivers' world championship and the International Cup of Formula 1 Constructors were held in this context .
Jochen Rindt won the drivers' world championship for the first and only time. He died during training for the Italian Grand Prix in Monza on September 5, 1970 and is the only Formula 1 world champion to be awarded this title posthumously because his points advantage was no longer overtaken. Lotus-Ford became constructors' world champion for the fourth time.
Changes in 1970
Regulations
Apart from an increase in the minimum weight of the cars to 530 kg, the Formula 1 rules remained unchanged compared to the previous year .
As before, alternatively charged engines with a displacement of up to 1.5 liters or uncharged engines with a maximum displacement of 3.0 liters were permitted. In fact, as in previous years, no manufacturer used the option of charging. The Cosworth DFV engine , financed by Ford, became the standard engine in Formula 1: 18 of 21 teams used exclusively or predominantly DFV engines. Only BRM , Ferrari and Matra used their own engines. There was also an eight-cylinder Alfa Romeo engine , which was entered for individual races in a third works car from the McLaren team. In the course of the season there was a drop in performance in the Cosworth DFV engines, which have also dominated sport in recent years. It was mainly due to the fact that Cosworth was temporarily overwhelmed with the maintenance of the numerous engines in circulation in the summer of 1970.
Teams
In 1970 there were some changes in the team area. With March Engineering , a new designer was added who not only ran his own works team, but also sold newly built racing cars to customer teams. The March 701 was the most widespread car of the 1970 season: this year five racing teams fielded a total of eight 701s.
As the season progressed, Tyrrell went from being a customer team to being a designer. After the alliance with Matra, which had existed since 1968 , was broken at the end of 1969 for reasons of corporate policy - Matra, which is now part of the Chrysler group, rejected the combination of the Matra chassis with engines from Cosworth and Ford, as practiced by Tyrrell - Ken Tyrrell began it Season with chassis from March, but at the same time had his first own chassis developed, which was initially ready for use as a single piece in the summer of 1970. In return, Matra, which in 1969 had limited itself to equipping the Tyrrell team, returned to Formula 1 with its own works team in 1970 after a one-year break.
Team Surtees , the newly founded racing team of multiple motorcycle and Formula 1 world champion John Surtees, was added as a new designer in 1970 . After an unsuccessful pre-season at BRM for 1970, Surtees had no longer received a factory cockpit and decided, like Jack Brabham a decade earlier, to continue his driving career with his own racing team. Until the first Surtees car was ready for use, the team helped themselves with older McLaren customer cars.
Also new was the Bellasi F1 70 , a car designed by Vittorio Bellasi and used by the Ticino racing driver Silvio Moser in his private racing team.
The British racing team Frank Williams Racing Cars , which had previously used customer cars from Brabham , brought the Italian sports car manufacturer De Tomaso back to Formula 1. Williams was the only team to use racing cars that had been designed and built by De Tomaso. The connection ended after a year; De Tomaso then withdrew permanently from Formula 1.
In addition to the ten factory teams who used self-designed cars, eleven customer teams competed in 1970, which usually only started in individual races. The Rob Walker Racing Team was the only private racing team that registered for almost all world championship races of the year.

In 1970 François Cevert , Emerson Fittipaldi , Peter Gethin , Ignazio Giunti , Henri Pescarolo , Ronnie Peterson , Clay Regazzoni , Tim Schenken , Rolf Stommelen and Reine Wisell made their Formula 1 debuts .
There were a few driver changes at the start of the season. Graham Hill , who had started for the Lotus factory team the year before, did not receive a new contract and switched to the private Rob Walker team. The top driver at Lotus was Jochen Rindt ; John Miles drove in the second factory car . After Rindt's fatal accident in Monza , Emerson Fittipaldi and Reine Wisell brought the season to a close for Lotus. In addition to the reigning world champion Jackie Stewart, Tyrrell now used Johnny Servoz-Gavin , who replaced Jean-Pierre Beltoise , who was closely associated with Matra . However, Servoz-Gavin withdrew from Formula 1 after a few races. Ken Tyrrell initially wanted to replace him with Brian Redman , but then decided on the recommendation of Jackie Stewart for the French debutant François Cevert . Chris Amon , who had driven for Scuderia Ferrari the year before, switched to the newly established March works team. Next to him was the Swiss Jo Siffert , whose driver salary was almost entirely financed by Porsche this year .
In terms of drivers, the 1970 season turned out to be one of the most tragic in Formula 1 history. Several fatal accidents occurred during the year.
On June 2, 1970, Bruce McLaren had a fatal accident while test driving a CanAm racing car in Goodwood . In the accident, the rear paneling of the vehicle was torn off as a result of the high contact pressure, and the car hit a wall at 200 km / h. Bruce McLaren was thrown out of the car and died instantly.
On June 21, 1970, Piers Courage had a fatal accident in an accident during the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort . His de Tomaso - Ford caught fire after an accident. Courage could not be released from the vehicle in time and burned.
On September 5, 1970, Jochen Rindt had a serious accident half an hour after the start of training on the Monza race track . Rindt drove towards the Parabolica at top speed. While still on the straight, the Lotus suddenly pulled sharply to the left at 30 degrees, hit the guardrail with its flat nose, turned several times losing the entire front structure, hit the planks a second time and finally got stuck in the sand in the direction of travel. Rindt suffered a rupture of the trachea and died of his serious injuries while being transported to the hospital in Milan .

Much of the route, which included roads dedicated to public transport, was unsecured. There were no run-off areas and only a few guard rails. The 1970 Belgian Grand Prix was the last GP in Formula 1 history to take place on a high-speed track with no run-off zones. In the following year there was no world championship run in Belgium, from 1972 the Belgian Grand Prix was held on the newly built course by Nivelles-Baulers .
12 teams with 18 drivers registered for the race. The McLaren team did not compete because Bruce McLaren died five days before the race while driving a CanAm racing car at the Goodwood Circuit and Denis Hulme was still suffering from an accident that he had three weeks earlier while training for this year's Indy 500 race . Tyrrell showed up for the race with only one car. After Johnny Servoz-Gavin's retirement in early May 1970, François Cevert was hired as his successor. In view of the high degree of difficulty of the Ardennes course, Ken Tyrrell decided not to let Cevert make his debut in Spa.
In qualifying practice, Tyrrell's only driver Jackie Stewart dominated in March 701 . He took pole position, followed by Jochen Rindt ( Lotus ) in the new Lotus 72 . Chris Amon , who used another March 701 for the March factory team, started from third place. The only non-qualified driver was the Spaniard Àlex Soler-Roig , who fielded the third factory Lotus under the name World Wide Racing. The race was won by Pedro Rodríguez ( British Racing Motors ). It was the second and last Formula 1 victory for Rodríguez and the last for the tire manufacturer Dunlop .
