Sunday 8th September 1974

Ronnie Peterson in a Lotus-Ford won the Italian Grand Prix, narrowly beating Emerson Fittipaldi into second place, to leave the championship on a knife-edge. As the teams left Monza, Clay Regazzoni was on 46pts, Scheckter on 45 and Fittipaldi on 43. Niki Lauda was still in with a chance as well with 38.
