Summary

The 1975 Spanish Grand Prix was one of the most controversial and tragic race weekends in Formula One history. Right from the start, the drivers who were members of the Grand Prix Drivers Association were furious that the barriers weren't bolted together properly. Thus, they went on strike. Most of the sport's major players refused to take part in practice. Jacky Ickx was one of the few marquee drivers who did practice. Ickx was not a member of the GPDA.

Track staff worked overnight to fix the barriers, and to make sure everything would be fixed in time for qualifying on Saturday, some of the teams sent out mechanics to help. The drivers, though, still weren't convinced, but the race organizers threatened legal action if no race was run, forcing the drivers to call off the strike. Emerson Fittipaldi, however, was still furious. He did the minimum three laps, but at a very slow pace, then pulled into the pits. The next morning, Fittipaldi, the defending world champion, announced he wouldn't run, and went back home. Also during race day morning, the late Ken Tyrrell went out onto the circuit with his spanner to make sure the barriers were how they should be.

The two Ferraris of Niki Lauda and Clay Regazzoni qualified on the front row, Lauda on pole, Regazzoni second. But their glory wouldn't last long. At the start, Vittorio Brambilla's March tangled with Mario Andretti's Parnelli. Andretti's car hit the back of Lauda's, sending him into Regazzoni. Lauda was out immediately, while Regazzoni took his car to the garage, where repairs were made, and Regazzoni was sent back out.

After the first corner madness ceased, James Hunt was shown as the leader. Shockingly, Andretti had managed to keep going, and was running in second. John Marshall Watson was in third, Rolf Stommelen was fourth, Brambilla fifth, and Jose Carlos Pace sixth.

On lap four, the engine in Jody Scheckter's Tyrrell blew, and the oil dumping onto the circuit caused Alan Jones and Mark Donohue to crash. Three laps later, Hunt also slipped in the oil and crashed. The top three had become Andretti, Watson, and Stommelen. Watson got a vibration, and dropped out. Andretti's rear suspension lasted only seven more laps before it failed, causing him to crash out of the lead. This promoted Stommelen to the top spot, followed by Pace, Ronnie Peterson, Jochen Mass, and Ickx. On lap 24, Peterson was out after he tangled with Francois Migault while trying to lap the Frenchman.

Two laps later, tragedy struck. The rear wing on Stommelen's Hill broke, sending him into the barrier.

Stommelen broke his leg, but four people, a fireman, photographer, and two spectators, were killed.
