F1 1971 Season

The 1971 championship is remembered as the year secured his second World Drivers' Championship, driving for the Elf-Tyrrell team. The Tyrrell 003, essentially an evolution of the March 701 chassis but powered by the reliable Cosworth DFV, was a masterpiece of balance. Stewart, the sport's first great professional, approached racing with scientific rigor. His fitness, intelligence, and ability to communicate setup changes to chief engineer Derek Gardner were unparalleled.

Stewart finished the season with 62 points, a massive 29 points ahead of second-place Ronnie Peterson (33 points). François Cevert was third with 26 points. f1 1971 season
