How pole is awarded
Penalties can make the official pole differ from the fastest qualifier. In 2021 Sprint weekends, pole was awarded through the Sprint; from 2022 it comes from Grand Prix qualifying.

Year1970Memorable racesFittipaldi wins as Lotus mourns
Fittipaldi’s first championship win came at Watkins Glen while Lotus was mourning Rindt in 1970. The young Brazilian succeeded as the team tried to carry on. The race used the configuration before the 1971 extension. Behind the result lies a transition between a team’s loss and a new driver establishing himself.
