The Fittipaldi FD02 was raced six times in 1975. Its debut was at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Wilson finished 12th. Then he failed to qualify for South Africa. Fittipaldi withdrew from the Spanish Grand Prix protesting that the barriers at the Montjuich circuit were not bolted together properly. Then he failed to qualify for Monaco, because the grid was staggered and in addition was restricted to just 18 cars. Fittipaldi finished 12th in Belgian and 17th in Sweden. The FD02 was replaced by the Fittipaldi FD03.
