The Brazilian and the three-year-old but ever more competitive Lotus 72 dominated the European races and he secured the title with two events to go. Lotus sponsors Players cigarettes switched marketing to their John Player Special brand, and the classic black and gold livery appeared for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Reigning champion Jackie Stewart was Fittipaldi\u2019s closest challenger, despite missing the Belgian GP due to a stomach ulcer. Equipped with a new Tyrrell, Stewart soon returned to form, winning the final two GPs of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre Beltoise scored the only win of his F1 career \u2013 his BRM dominating at Monaco in one of the wettest races on record. This proved to be the last victory for the once-great BRM marque. Jacky Ickx\u2019s win at the Nurburgring was the highlight of a disappointing year for Ferrari, while Ronnie Peterson and Niki Lauda had disastrous seasons in the difficult March 721X. A more conventional car (the 721G) was introduced at the French GP but Peterson\u2019s third-place in Germany was the team\u2019s only podium finish.<\/p>\n<p>Bernie Ecclestone, a successful businessman who had occasionally entered ex-works Connaughts in 1958, bought the Brabham team from Ron Tauranac. Carlos Reutemann qualified on pole position for his home Argentine GP on his debut for the team and he confirmed his promise by then winning the non-championship Brazilian race.<\/p>\n<p>Denny Hulme scored McLaren\u2019s only win of the year at Kyalami and Jody Scheckter made an impressive start in the formula with the team at the final round. The South African qualified fourth and ran third before spinning. Chris Amon showed promise in the new V12 Matra but, as ever, he scored no victories. He qualified on pole and led convincingly in France before a puncture thwarted his hopes.<\/p>\n<p>Rival tyre companies Firestone and Goodyear introduced qualifying tyres in their fight for pole position. These were made of a super-soft compound of rubber, which gave improved performance, but they only lasted for a few laps and increased costs.<\/p>\n\n                            <div class=\"expanding-content__buttons\">\n                                            <a href=\"#\" class=\"button button--outline button--chevron-down expanding-content__more\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Read full overview<\/a>\n                        <a href=\"#\" class=\"button button--outline button--chevron-up expanding-content__less\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Read Less<\/a>\n                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/section>\n\n                                \n   <\/div>\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--no-padding-bottom database-table-collapsible toggle open\" id=\"results\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        \n<header class=\"content-header content-header--alt\">\n\n    <h2 class=\"content-header__small-title sanomat u-bold \">\n                Races\n    <\/h2>\n\n    <div class=\"content-header__dropdown database-table-collapsible__toggles proxima\">\n        <a href=\"#\" class=\"database-table-collapsible__more\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Show<\/a>\n        <a href=\"#\" class=\"database-table-collapsible__less\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Hide<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/header><div class=\"js-react\" data-behaviour=\"championship-races-table\" data-championship-id=\"\"><\/div>            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--no-padding database-table-collapsible toggle open\" id=\"standings\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        \n<header class=\"content-header content-header--alt\">\n\n    <h2 class=\"content-header__small-title sanomat u-bold \">\n                Standings\n    <\/h2>\n\n    <div class=\"content-header__dropdown database-table-collapsible__toggles proxima\">\n        <a href=\"#\" class=\"database-table-collapsible__more\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Show<\/a>\n        <a href=\"#\" class=\"database-table-collapsible__less\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Hide<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/header><div class=\"js-react\" data-behaviour=\"championship-standings-table\" data-championship-id=\"\"><\/div>            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n                            <section class=\"c-broadcast-space content-section block_5fc185541610c_leaderboardtop div-gpt-ad-1563288058060-1\" data-target=\"ad-container\">\n            <div class=\"container container--full-mobile\">\n                <aside class=\"broadcast-space \">\n            <div class=\"broadcast-space__element\" id=\"div-gpt-ad-1563288058060-1\" data-behaviour=\"ad-target\"><\/div>\n    <\/aside>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n    \n\n        <section class=\"c-article-listing article-listing content-section\">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <header class=\"content-header\">\n    <div class=\"content-header__intro user-content\">\n        <h1 class=\"content-header__title sanomat\">Related articles<\/h1>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"content-header__button\">\n            <a class=\"button button--outline button--full\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/\">\n                View all\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/header>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"content-section__inner-content container\">\n            <div class=\"article-grid article-grid--no-ads\">\n                <div class=\"article-grid__wrapper\">\n                    <div class=\"article-grid__nested-grid\">\n                        <div class=\"article-grid__column\">\n                                                            \n\t\n\n<article class=\"article-item \">\n\n\t\n\t\t<a class=\"article-item__link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/articles\/single-seaters\/f1\/this-isnt-the-same-car-f1s-only-female-race-winner-on-the-team-she-says-lied-to-her\/\">\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"article-item__image article-item__image--cropped\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<picture>\n            <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/GettyImages-2229193468-450x253.jpg.webp 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" height=\"253\" width=\"450\" alt=\"&#8216;This isn\u2019t the same car&#8217;
