Dafür war Stewart in der WM-Saison 1971 wieder hoch überlegen. Durch die Siege in Spanien, Monaco, Frankreich, Großbritannien und Deutschland sicherte er sich seinen zweiten Formel-1-Titel. Es folgte eine weniger erfolgreiche Saison 1972, die er mit der Vizeweltmeisterschaft hinter dem Jungstar Emerson Fittipaldi abschloss. Die vielen Reisen in die USA, wo er an der CanAm-Meisterschaft teilnahm, sorgten für gesundheitliche Probleme in Form eines Magengeschwürs.
