Correct answer
Explanation
Jochen Rindt became the only posthumous Formula 1 World Champion in 1970. He died during practice for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza but had already accumulated enough points to secure the title. No other driver has won the championship after their death. Ronnie Peterson and Cevert also died tragically, but not as reigning champions.
