The 1970 Italian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza on September 6, 1970.[1] It was race 10 of 13 in both the 1970 World Championship of Drivers and the 1970 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers. The race was marred by the death of Jochen Rindt, who died during the practice session on September 5 and became Formula One's only posthumous World Champion as to date.[2] The 68-lap race was won by Ferrari driver Clay Regazzoni for his first Grand Prix victory after starting from third position. Jackie Stewart finished second for the March team and Matra driver Jean-Pierre Beltoise came in third.
This was the last time that Monza was driven for 68 laps. From 1971 onwards, the race distance would be 55 laps.[citation needed] It was also the last win for a driver wearing an open-face helmet in Formula One.
