View from the grandstand: Lotus driver Emerson Fittipaldi takes the chequered flag to win the Spanish Grand Prix at Jarama, May 1, 1972. The Brazilian star led the two Ferraris of Ickx and Regazzoni despite a pre-race fuel leak in the cockpit and the onboard fire extinguisher going off unexpectedly during the second lap. Fittipaldi would go on to win the 1972 World Championship with five victories on the season.
