McLaren won 4 races out of 15, and the world title went to Emerson Fittipaldi.
The title was decided in round 15 – United States Grand Prix.
In 1974 Emerson Fittipaldi moved to McLaren, and Niki Lauda joined Ferrari: he started from pole nine times and won two races, but retired often. The wins were shared among seven drivers.
The title was decided at the final race, the United States Grand Prix, where Fittipaldi and Ferrari’s Clay Regazzoni arrived level on points. Fittipaldi finished fourth and Regazzoni out of the points, so the Brazilian became champion for the second time, and McLaren won the Constructors’ Championship for the first time.
