In 1975, Austrian racing driver Niki Lauda won the drivers' championship driving for Scuderia Ferrari. Lauda's victory was the team's first championship win since 1964 and the first of three consecutive drivers' championships for Lauda with Ferrari. Lauda's 1975 championship-winning season was dominant, with him winning five races and finishing on the podium in ten of the fourteen races that season. His main rival for the championship was Emerson Fittipaldi, driving for McLaren, but Lauda was able to secure the title with a strong performance in the Italian Grand Prix. The following year, Lauda suffered a horrific accident at the Nürburgring during the German Grand Prix. The accident left him with severe burns and injuries, and many believed that his racing career was over. However, Lauda made an incredible recovery and was back racing just six weeks later, demonstrating his remarkable determination and resilience. Despite missing two races due to his injuries, Lauda finished second in the 1976 championship, losing out to James Hunt by just one point. Lauda went on to win his second championship with Ferrari in 1977, with a season that saw him win three races and finish on the podium in ten of the sixteen races. Lauda's championship wins in 1975 and 1977 were significant for Ferrari, marking a return to championship-winning form after a period of relative underperformance. Lauda's success with the team also cemented his status as one of the greatest drivers in the history of Formula One, with his remarkable comeback from his 1976 accident a testament to his skill and determination.
