The 1975 Swedish Grand Prix took place on June 8th at the Scandinavian Raceway in Anderstorp and was the seventh race of the 1975 World Automobile Championship .

Reports

background

Mario Andretti and Torsten Palm returned to the field for the Swedish Grand Prix after missing the Belgian Grand Prix two weeks earlier. Meanwhile, Frank Williams had to hire two new drivers because Arturo Merzario had left the team and Jacques Laffite was not available due to a parallel Formula 2 race in Hockenheim . He chose Ian Scheckter and Formula 1 newcomer Damien Magee . Graham Hill replaced François Migault with Vern Schuppan on his team .

training

Vittorio Brambilla , who had already attracted attention in Belgium with his very good performances, impressively confirmed his top form by reaching pole position in March 751, which is not considered to be favored . Tyrrell pilot Patrick Depailler , Jean-Pierre Jarier in the Shadow and Brabham pilot Carlos Reutemann occupied the starting positions next to and behind him. Then Niki Lauda followed as the best Ferrari driver alongside Carlos Pace's second works Brabham .

Defending champion Emerson Fittipaldi finished eleventh in the McLaren M23 and Clay Regazzoni in twelfth place in the second Ferrari.

run

Brambilla took the lead in front of Depailler, Jarier, Reutemann, Pace and Lauda. This order of the first six drivers only changed during the first 15 laps due to a successful overtaking maneuver by Reutemann against Jarier. Then Depailler left because of a brake defect. In the following lap the leading Brambilla, who was slowing down due to overheating tires, was overtaken by Reutemann. He then decided to make a pit stop to change the tires, which made him fall far behind. Jarier then followed behind the leading Reutemann, ahead of Pace, Lauda, ​​Regazzoni and Andretti.

Jarier's technical failure on lap 39 resulted in a Brabham one-two lead, which ended a little later with a spin of Paces. Lauda, ​​now in second place, who was on the road with a harder tire compound than most of the competition, caught up with Reutemann during the following laps. In the course of this, he broke the lap record several times. On lap 70 he managed to overtake the Argentine, who was now struggling with understeer . With this, the Austrian secured his third victory in a row. Behind Reutemann and Regazzoni, the two Americans Mario Andretti and Mark Donohue as well as Tony Brise achieved positions in the points. For Brise this was the first and only World Championship point in his Formula 1 career and the first point for the still young Embassy Hill works team .
