1975 Formula One Season (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 1975 Formula One season included the 26th FIA Formula One World Championship season, which commenced on January 12, 1975, and ended on October 5 after fourteen races. After a strong finish to the 1974 season, many observers felt the Brabham team were favourites to win the 1975 title. The year started well, with an emotional first win for Carlos Pace at the Interlagos circuit in his native Sao Paulo. However, over the season tyre wear frequently slowed the cars, and the initial promise was not maintained. Niki Lauda often refers to 1975 as "the unbelievable year." In his second year with Ferrari, the team provided him with the Ferrari 312T - a car that was technically far superior to any of the competition. He won his first world title with 5 wins and a huge margin over second place in the championship.
