25 May in Ferrari history: Niki Lauda’s Belgian Grand Prix win
25 May marks a victory from Niki Lauda’s first championship-winning season with Ferrari. On this date in 1975, he won the Belgian Grand Prix at Zolder, continuing a successful run that had begun in Monaco.
1975: Niki Lauda wins the Belgian Grand Prix
Niki Lauda completed the 70-lap race ahead of Jody Scheckter and Carlos Reutemann. Clay Regazzoni finished fifth in the other Ferrari, giving both Scuderia drivers points.
The venue is an important detail in this anniversary: the 1975 Belgian Grand Prix took place at Zolder, rather than Spa-Francorchamps. Niki Lauda’s winning margin over Jody Scheckter was 19.220 seconds.
Belgium formed the middle race in a sequence of three consecutive victories. After winning in Monaco, Niki Lauda added Zolder and then the Swedish Grand Prix, building momentum during the season that brought his first world title.
Later Ferrari podiums on 25 May
The date also includes third place for Stefan Johansson at the 1986 Belgian Grand Prix and third for Felipe Massa at Monaco in 2008. These results connect Ferrari’s 1970s championship story with podium finishes from later eras.
