Chris Amon won the International Trophy for the March team at Silverstone. Team Lotus first rolled out their new 72s during the International Trophy but decided to use the old 49s for the Monaco Grand Prix. Jackie Stewart qualified the fastest with Chris Amon next to him on the front row. Denny Hulme, Jack Brabham and Jacky Ickx all shared the second row.

At the start, Stewart took lead with Amon behind him. Beltoise in fifth place was able to slip past Ickx and take fourth. Ickx retired on lap twelve with a driveshaft failure and Beltoise left on the twenty-second lap with a transmission failure. On lap twenty-two Brabham was able to pass Amon for second place and take his shot at Stewart. On lap twenty-seven Stewart ran into some mechanical problems and dropped his position. Brabham took over the lead with Amon and Hulme behind him.

On the sixty-first lap, Amon retired with a failed rear suspension and Rindt moved up to second. At the very last corner of the race with Rindt breathing down his neck, Brabham hit the brakes too late and too hard, and slid into the straw bales. Rindt passed the Australian to take the Monaco Grand Prix victory, Brabham was able to extract his car to take second with Pescarolo in third. Rindt broke the circuit record on his last lap.

Rindt went on to win the 1970 French, British and German Grands Prix. At the Italian Grand Prix with the World Championship all but won, Rindt's Lotus veered sharply left under heavy braking into the Armco barriers at the Parabolica, he died in the ambulance on the way to a Milan hospital. Jochen Rindt became motor racing's first and hopefully last posthumous World Champion.
