Drivers 1975 312T:

Niki Lauda

Clay Regazzoni

In 1975 the new 312T would have a very slow start to the season with reliability and setup issues proving to be an issue. But by the mid point of the season these issues were ironed out and by the Italian GP Niki Lauda scored a third place finish, clinching the drivers and constructor's championships then. Ferrari's first constructor's in 11 years. On 72.5 points total.

Lauda claimed 5 wins in the season from a 14 round season with a total of 64.5 points and 1 DNF. His teammate Clay Regazzoni claimed 5th in the championship with 25 points, 1 win, 3 podiums and 4 DNF's.
