1971 Season Report

Jackie Stewart won the 1971 Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship driving for Tyrrell, finishing on 62 points, 29 clear of Ronnie Peterson. Stewart won 6 races that season.

Tyrrell took the Constructors' Championship with 73 points, 37 ahead of BRM.

6 different drivers won a Grand Prix, and 22 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.
