Niki Lauda wins points for the first time at Interlagos | 1975 Brazilian GP. Ferrari was still using the 1974 car.

The 1975 Brazilian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Interlagos on 26 January 1975. It was race 2 of 14 in both the 1975 World Championship of Drivers and the 1975 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers. It was the fourth Brazilian Grand Prix since its introduction in 1972.

As was the case two weeks earlier in Argentina, the Scuderia was still using the 1974 car, the 312 B3 and it was not all competitive up against its main rivals in Interlagos. Lauda and Regazzoni were fourth and fifth respectively on the starting grid, but over a second off pole man Jean-Pierre Jarier in the Shadow. In the race, the two Ferrari men were never in the fight for the win, which looked like being comfortably the property of the Frenchman, until he stopped towards the end with an engine problem.

Thus it was Brazil’s Carlos Pace in the Brabham who was first past the flag (it was the only win of Pace’s career; he was killed in an aircraft accident two years later. The circuit now holds his name.), ahead of fellow countryman Emerson Fittipaldi in the McLaren. Regazzoni could have made it to the podium, but in the end, he dropped a few places with tyre degradation problems, finishing fourth, 43 seconds off the winner, while team-mate Lauda was fifth over a minute behind.
