Niki Lauda clinched his first Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship in 1975 with 64.5 points, taking five wins, eight podiums and nine pole positions along the way. The Austrian driver finished 19.5 points clear of two-time World Champion Emerson Fittipaldi. The team of the drivers' champion, Ferrari, also took their third Constructors' Championship with 72.5 points and six race wins.

Lauda and his team Ferrari wrapped up both titles together at the Italian Grand Prix (round 13 of 14).

The 1975 season marked Ferrari’s long-awaited return to the top of Formula 1. After years without a Drivers’ title, Lauda and the superb 312T restored Maranello’s authority with a campaign built on speed, discipline and relentless qualifying pace. The crowning moment came at Monza, where Clay Regazzoni won in front of the tifosi and Lauda finished third to secure his first World Championship. It was Ferrari theatre at its finest: a home victory, both titles effectively sealed, and the beginning of Lauda’s legend.
