The 1974 Canadian Grand Prix took place on September 22nd and was the fourteenth race of the 1974 World Automobile Championship .
Reports
background
Before the two final world championship races on the North American continent, four pilots - Clay Regazzoni , Emerson Fittipaldi , Jody Scheckter and Niki Lauda - had a chance of winning the drivers' world championship.
Some of the smaller private teams had not started the trip across the Atlantic and skipped the last two races of the season. Instead, the field was expanded with two new US Formula 1 participants. Roger Penske got involved in Formula 1 for the first time with the Penske PC1 . As a driver, he signed Mark Donohue , who had previously only been a guest driver at two GPs in the 1971 season . Parnelli Jones, on the other hand, signed Mario Andretti, a veteran who made his Formula 1 comeback in the Parnelli VPJ4 . Ian Ashley and Eppie Wietzes also took part as guest starters in two private Brabham BT42s at the race weekend.
At BRM , Henri Pescarolo and François Migault had been separated and instead Chris Amon was signed as the second works driver alongside regular driver Jean-Pierre Beltoise for the end of the season. In a similar way, McLaren decided on Jochen Mass instead of David Hobbs to cast the third works car. Helmut Koinigg received a works contract for the Surtees team for the final races .
training
Emerson Fittipaldi prevented Niki Lauda from reaching pole position for the seventh time in a row with his best training time. He undercut the best time set by the Austrian during the third qualifying training in the fourth qualifying session by around four hundredths of a second and thus pushed him to second place on the grid.
With Jody Scheckter, the third of the four title candidates was in third place on the grid. The fourth opponent, Clay Regazzoni, had to be content with sixth starting position behind the Brabham of Carlos Reutemann and Shadow pilot Jean-Pierre Jarier . This was followed by the second Tyrrell of Patrick Depailler , Hesketh -Pilot James Hunt , Brabham works driver Carlos Pace and Ronnie Peterson at Lotus .
run
Lauda initially took the lead ahead of Fittipaldi, Regazzoni and Scheckter. Thus, the four title opponents took the first four places at the beginning of the race. Scheckter overtook Regazzoni on the third lap. This order remained constant during the first half of the race. If it had stayed that way until the end, Fittipaldi, Scheckter and Regazzoni would have arrived at Watkins Glen two weeks later with 49 points each for the final. On lap 49, however, Scheckter retired due to an accident caused by a brake defect. As a result, Regazzoni, who again placed third, had the chance to narrowly defend his lead in the World Cup.
The order of the first three did not change until the 70th lap, when the leader Lauda had an accident after running over debris. As a result, Fittipaldi reached the top position, which he held from then on to the finish, whereby he relegated Regazzoni, who was second in the race and therefore tied on points, to second place in the World Championship table due to his higher number of wins this season.
While the focus was on the results of the World Cup favorites, Ronnie Peterson drove relatively unnoticed a strong race that brought him from tenth on the grid to third place. In the end, he crossed the finish line just a few tenths of a second after Clay Regazzoni and before James Hunt.
Patrick Depailler finished fifth and Denis Hulme scored the last World Cup point of his Formula 1 career in sixth.
