Swedish Grand Prix 1974 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Jody Scheckter claimed his maiden Grand Prix victory at Sweden's Anderstorp circuit, leading teammate Patrick Depailler home for a perfect Tyrrell one-two. The 24-year-old South African's aggressive driving and natural speed finally came together for a complete performance, establishing him as a championship contender for future seasons. Depailler's supporting role demonstrated Tyrrell's continued strength despite losing Stewart and Cevert, while James Hunt's third place for the aristocratic Hesketh Racing team confirmed the playboy Englishman possessed genuine talent beneath the flamboyant exterior. The Swedish crowd was disappointed to see Peterson retire from a competitive position, but Scheckter's dominant display left no doubt about the deserving winner.
