The 1972 Formula One season was the 23rd FIA Formula One season. It featured the 23rd World Championship of Drivers, the 15th International Cup for F1 Manufacturers and numerous non-championship Formula One races. The World Championship season commenced on 23 January and ended on 8 October after twelve races. For 1972 Team Lotus focused again on the type 72 chassis. Imperial Tobacco continued its sponsorship of the team under its new John Player Special brand. The cars, now often referred to as 'John Player Specials', were fielded in a new black and gold livery. Lotus took the championship by surprise in 1972 with 25-year old Brazilian driver Emerson Fittipaldi who became the youngest world champion at that point. Jackie Stewart came second in the championship, and Denny Hulme was third. This was the first year where all the races were run on circuits with modern safety features on them, and considerable progress had been made since 1967, the last year where all races were run on circuits without significant safety improvements. The BRM team took its final victory when Jean-Pierre Beltoise won the rain-affected 1972 Monaco Grand Prix in a P160D. Three races were not held: The Dutch Grand Prix was cancelled this year because of safety arrangements that were not completed for the race. It was supposed to be held between the Belgian and French races at the usual location, Zandvoort. A return of the Mexican Grand Prix was cancelled after interest dried up in the wake of the death of Pedro Rodríguez, and amid major insurance problems after the crowd control debacle in 1970. And a race at Ontario Motor Speedway was cancelled after the sponsor, Questor Corporation, ran into financial problems.
