The Long Version

He made his name in Formula Two before joining Cooper in 1965.

A move to Brabham and then Lotus in 1969 put him in the fastest cars, and the most fragile.

Five wins in 1970 with the Lotus 72 built a lead nobody could overhaul.

He was killed in practice at Monza in September 1970 and confirmed champion at season's end.
