We are talking about the Ferrari 312T with chassis number 022, on which in 1975 Lauda won the French Grand Prix, finished second at the Dutch Grand Prix and took third place on the podium at the German Grand Prix. At all five stages of the 1975 season in which this car participated, the Austrian took pole position.
Niki Lauda was directly involved in the development of the 312T after the unsuccessful 312B, which brought the Ferrari team no wins in the Constructors' Cup and no championship. At the same time, together with the next car, the 312T, the Italian team, along with Lauda, won the championship and for the first time since 1964 took the Constructors' Cup.
Three-time Formula 1 champion Niki Lauda died on May 20, 2019 at the age of 70, having undergone a lung transplant a year earlier after a serious infectious disease.
