29th season of FIA Formula One motor racing

The 1975 Formula One season was the 29th season of FIA Formula One motor racing. It featured the 1975 World Championship of F1 Drivers and the 1975 International Cup for F1 Manufacturers which were contested concurrently from 12 January to 5 October over fourteen races. The season also included three non championship Formula One races and a nine race South African Formula One Championship. After a strong finish to the F1 season of 1974 season, many observers felt the Brabham team were favourites going into the new year. An emotional first win for Carlos Pace in his native São Paulo looked to confirm this, but tyre wear frequently hampered the cars and the initial promise was not maintained. In his second year with Ferrari, Niki Lauda was given the keys to the Ferrari 312T, a car that was technically far superior to any of the competition. He won his first drivers' title with five wins and a huge margin over second place in the championship. Ferrari took home the championship trophy for manufacturers. Lauda often referred to 1975 as "the unbelievable year". American Mark Donohue died in August, two days after crashing in practice for the Austrian Grand Prix. And after the season, in late November, an Embassy Hill airplane crashed in England and all six aboard were killed, including team owner Graham Hill and driver Tony Brise.

The Williams had lost their sponsorship from Iso and Marlboro and entered two cars under their own name for the first time. Having driven for Brabham in F1 season of 1972 and F1 season of 1973, Wilson Fittipaldi entered this season with his own team and chassis. He drove the car himself and managed to launch two new developments of the car during the year. Denny Hulme retired at the end of the F1 season of 1974 season. Jochen Mass, who already drove the last two races for McLaren, was signed for a full season with the team. March signed Lella Lombardi. She was the first woman to qualify in an F1 race since Maria Teresa de Filippis in F1 season of 1958. John Watson was signed by Surtees, after entering all 1974 races in a private Brabham.

After two races, Bob Evans replaced Mike Wilds at BRM, Jacky Ickx left Lotus halfway through the season. Embassy Racing, owned by Graham Hill, entered a Lola chassis for the first three races and then their first Hill chassis. The only difference, however, was the employment of their designer and subsequent naming of the chassis. Ensign missed the first part of the season but returned with a duo of Dutch drivers, Roelof Wunderink and Gijs van Lennep, following new sponsorship by the Dutch security company HB Bewaking. John Nicholson had won the 1973 and 1974 British Formula Atlantic Championship in a Lyncar 005, before he debuted in the 1975 British Grand Prix with a Lyncar commissioned F1 chassis. He also tried this in F1 season of 1974, but had not managed to qualify on that attempt. Shadow trialled a Matra V12 engine for two races, but Jean Pierre Jarier retired on both occasions. American Mark Donohue died in August, two days after crashing in practice for the Austrian Grand Prix. John Watson was released from Surtees to drive for Penske and would stay with the American team in 1976. Nearing the end of 1974, Chris Amon had retired his own team and drove two races for BRM. He returned to F1 near the end of the 1975 season with Ensign.

The Spanish Grand Prix was moved from Jarama to Montjuïc, in keeping with the event sharing arrangement between the two circuits. Likewise, the French Grand Prix was moved from Dijon Prenois to Paul Ricard Circuit, and the British Grand Prix was moved from Brands Hatch to Silverstone. The Belgian Grand Prix and Monaco Grand Prix swapped places on the calendar so that the Monaco round followed the Belgian Grand Prix. The Canadian Grand Prix was originally scheduled to be the penultimate race in 1975 but was cancelled due to a small row between Formula One Constructors' Association and Mosport Park about payments.
