Jackie Stewart wrapped up the 1973 Formula One Drivers’ Championship driving a Tyrrell 006 in his final Formula One season, with a handy gap back to rivals Emerson Fittipaldi and Ronnie Peterson.
The Fittipaldi/Peterson pair were both driving for John Player Team Lotus, who would go on to win the constructors’ title, and duking it out race by race in an exciting inter-team battle. Both were driving a Colin Chapman masterpiece – the Lotus 72.
This video documentary tells the story of that battle and John Player Team Lotus in the 1973 Formula One World Championship.
