The year in numbers
The season packed 11 races across 11 countries, with 6 different winners over 1971: Jackie Stewart (6), Mario Andretti (1), Jacky Ickx (1), Jo Siffert (1), Peter Gethin (1), François Cevert (1). Jackie Stewart won more than anyone, 6 of the 11 races. The title went to Jackie Stewart (United Kingdom), driving for Tyrrell, the second of the driver's career. On the raw sums of the table, Jackie Stewart closed the year on 62 points, 29 more than Ronnie Peterson. 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 1971 scores.
