Grand Prix de Belgique 25 Maj 1975, Zolder
Ronnie Peterson gör i Belgiens GP sin 68:e F1 start. Träningen går inte bra i Lotus 72:an och Ronnie lyckas endast prestera en fjortonde bästa tid, långt efter Niki Lauda (Ferrari) i "pole position" och Carlos Pace (Brabham) i första startled.
Pace gör en bra start och tar omedelbart ledningen före Lauda. Brambilla i en March håller sin position som trea före den andra Ferraribilen med Regazzoni. Brambilla chockar alla genom att ta täten, men på det sjätte varvet återställs ordningen med Lauda ånyo främst i fältet. Utan större dramatik kan Lauda hålla denna ledning in i mål. Jody Scheckter blir tvåa i sin Tyrrell, knappt 20 sekunder efter Niki. Ytterligare lika långt bakom går Carlos Reutemann (Brabham) i mål som trea. Den jämna fragmenteringen håller i sig då Patrick Depailler (Tyrrell) passerar mållinjen som fyra - en minut efter segraren. Femman Regazzoni har dock snabbaste varvet med 1.26,76. Loppet ser därmed följande förare i ledarposition: Pace 1-3; Brambilla 4-5; Lauda 6-70.
Och Ronnie då? Ja, han tvingas bryta efter drygt halva loppet då problem uppstått med bromsarna.
Summary in english
A fortnight after Niki Lauda victory at Monaco the F1
teams were in action again at Zolder. Mario Andretti was away at Indianapolis
and so there was no Parnelli while Roelof Wunderink
had hurt himself in a Formula 5000 accident at Zandvoort was out of action and
so Ensign did not appear. Graham Hill had decided to retire
and with Rolf Stommelen still recovering from his injuries in Barcelona he had
signed Francois Migault and Tony Brise to drive his cars.
Qualifying resulted in pole position for Niki Lauda with Carlos Pace (Brabham) alongside. Vittorio Brambilla did well in the
Beta March and lined up third ahead of Clay Regazzoni (Ferrari), Tom Pryce (Shadow), Carlos Reutemann (Brabham), the
impressive Brise and Emerson Fittipaldi
(McLaren). The top 10 was completed by Jody Scheckter (Tyrrell) and Jean-Pierre Jarier (Shadow).
At the start Pace jumped into the lead ahead of Lauda. Brambilla was third with
Regazzoni, Reutemann and Scheckter scrapping over fourth. Brise disappeared
early on with engine troubles and Scheckter worked his way ahead of Reutemann
and Regazzoni. At the front Brambilla surprised everyone by passing both Lauda
and then Pace to lead the race. Lauda overtook Pace as well and then went after
Brambilla and on the sixth lap the Ferrari went ahead. Scheckter
soon overtook Pace as well and was soon with Brambilla and he took second place
on lap nine. The order remained unchanged for the whole of the middle part of
the race but on lap 49 Brambilla pitted for new tires and left third place to
Reutemann. Fittipaldi was fourth but he was unable to hold back Depailler,
Regazzoni and Pryce in the closing laps.
