The Tyrrell 005 is a Formula One racing car which was designed for the end of the 1972, selected races of the 1973 and the early part of the 1974 seasons by Tyrrell's Chief Designer, Derek Gardner. Jackie Stewart drove the 005 in the final 4 races in 1972, the 005's first race was the Austrian Grand Prix where Stewart finished 7th.[2] Clutch failure put Stewart out of the race and out of the championship at the Italian Grand Prix.[3] The Scotsman won the Canadian[4] and United States Grand Prix's.[5] Stewart raced the 005 at the Argentine Grand Prix[6] and finished third. The Scotsman finished 2nd in the Brazilian Grand Prix.[7] François Cevert drove the 005 in the South African Grand Prix and was not classified.[8] Chris Amon raced the 005 at the Canadian Grand Prix and finished 10th.[9] Amon was scheduled to drive the 005 in the United States Grand Prix but he and Stewart withdrew after the death of Cevert during practice.[10] The 005 was used in the first three races of 1974 by Frenchman Patrick Depailler who finished 6th in the Argentine Grand Prix.[11] Depailler finished 8th in the Brazilian Grand Prix[12] and the 005's final race was the South African Grand Prix when the Frenchman finished 4th.[13] The 005 was replaced by the Tyrrell 006.
