1970 Season Report

Jochen Rindt won the 1970 Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship driving for Team Lotus, finishing on 45 points, 5 clear of Jacky Ickx. Rindt won 5 races that season.

Team Lotus took the Constructors' Championship with 59 points, 4 ahead of Ferrari.

7 different drivers won a Grand Prix, and 25 drivers scored championship points.

Championships in this era were decided on a "best results" basis — drivers counted only their highest-scoring finishes towards the title, so season totals can differ from the sum of every race result. Dropped scores were abolished from 1991.
