Emerson Fittipaldi wins the 1975 Argentine Grand Prix
On this day, racing legend Emerson Fittipaldi beat out local favorite Carlos Reutemann and future World Champion James Hunt to claim his second Argentine Grand Prix victory, having previously won there in 1973.
Driving the McLaren M23, Fittipaldi beat his closest competitor, James Hunt, by a six second interval after an unfortunate spin of Hunt’s Hesketh enabled the Brazilian to take the lead. Not deterred for long, Hunt recovered his composure and went on to finish the race in second place, with the Agentinian Reutemann coming in third – much to the delight of the home crowd.
