Emerson Fittipaldi clinched his second Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship in 1974 with 55 points, taking three wins, seven podiums and two pole positions along the way. The Brazilian driver finished just three points clear of Clay Regazzoni. The Constructors' Championship, however, went not to Fittipaldi's McLaren but to McLaren-Ford, who took their first title with 73 points and four race wins.

Both championships were settled at the same race, the USA Grand Prix (round 15 of 15): Fittipaldi took the drivers' crown and McLaren-Ford the constructors'.
