F1 1974 James Hunt - Hesketh P308 - 19740049

In 1974 Emerson Fittipaldi and Clay Regazzoni went into the last race of the World Championship level on points, but Regazzoni dropped down the field with handling problems, so Fittipaldi's fourth place gave him the championship. This was also the first title for McLaren and the first of many titles for a team sponsored by the Marlboro cigarette brand. Fittipaldi, Ronnie Peterson and Carlos Reutemann each won three races, Jody Scheckter and Niki Kauda two each, Regazzoni and Denny Hulme, who retired at the end of the season, one each. Graham Hill ran a new team of Lolas; two drivers died over the course of the season, Peter Revson in a practice session accident at the South African GP, then Austrian newcomer Helmuth Koinigg at the US GP.
