The year in numbers
The season packed 13 races across 13 countries, with 7 different winners over 1970: Jochen Rindt (5), Jacky Ickx (3), Jack Brabham (1), Jackie Stewart (1), Pedro Rodríguez (1), Clay Regazzoni (1), Emerson Fittipaldi (1). Jochen Rindt won more than anyone, 5 of the 13 races. The title went to Jochen Rindt (Austria), driving for Team Lotus, the first of the driver's career. On the raw sums of the table, Jochen Rindt closed the year on 45 points, 5 more than Jacky Ickx. A note for anyone checking official records: until 1990 the rules dropped each driver's worst results, so the raw sums in the table can differ from the official 1970 scores.
