It was race 7 of 15 in both the 1974 World Championship of Drivers and the 1974 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers.https://www.racingsportscars.com/covers/_Anderstorp-1974-06-09e.jpg 1974 Swedish Grand Prix Entry list The race was dominated by the two Tyrrell-Cosworth 007s of Jody Scheckter and Patrick Depailler. Depailler took pole position, however Scheckter beat him by 0.380 sec in the race, to score his first Grand Prix win. Race summary After Monaco, there were some new faces in the paddock. Brian Redman retired from Formula One, to be replaced by Bertil Roos whilst Reine Wisell took over at March from Hans-Joachim Stuck, Richard Robarts replaced Arturo Merzario after the Italian was unwell, and Leo Kinnunen made his début. Running with open helmet, as he was accustomed to do when rallying, this marked the last time that a driver did so in Formula One, and the first time a Finn had started a Formula One Grand Prix. Vern Schuppan, the first reserve of Ensign-Ford, started illegally from 26th place on the grid and completed the race before he was disqualified. Tom Belsø crashed his car in practice and with no spare car, Richard Robarts let the Danish driver have his car and did not start himself. The two Tyrrells of Depailler and Scheckter secured the front row and dominated the race. Ronnie Peterson retired on lap eight with a driveshaft failure, shortly to be followed by Clay Regazzoni with gearbox problems. Niki Lauda and James Hunt had a duel for 20 laps before Hunt got past on lap 66 and began slicing into the Tyrrells' lead at two seconds a lap. In the end, Scheckter held on to take his first race win by 0.38s and Hunt took third place, the Hesketh team's first Formula One points. Graham Hill gained his first championship point since 1972, and the last of his career, whilst Tom Belsø drove to 8th place. At this Grand Prix Leo Kinnunen became the last driver to start in a Formula One race using an open-face helmet.Leo Kinnunen – Biography F1 Rejects http://www.f1rejects.com/drivers/kinnunen/biography.html 2007-01-28 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20061106204606/http://f1rejects.com/drivers/kinnunen/biography.html November 6, 2006 Classification Qualifying Pos No Driver Constructor Time Gap Grid 1 4FRA Patrick Depailler Tyrrell-Ford 1:24.758 — 1 2 3 South Africa 1928 Jody Scheckter Tyrrell-Ford 1:25.076 +0.380 2 3 12 AUT Niki Lauda Ferrari 1:25.161 +0.403 3 4 11 SUI Clay Regazzoni Ferrari 1:25.276 +0.518 4 5 1 SWE Ronnie Peterson Lotus-Ford 1:25.390 +0.632 5 6 24 GBR James Hunt Hesketh-Ford 1:25.556 +0.798 6 7 2 BEL Jacky Ickx Lotus-Ford 1:25.650 +0.892 7 8 17 FRA Jean-Pierre Jarier Shadow-Ford 1:25.725 +0.967 8 9 5 BRA Emerson Fittipaldi McLaren-Ford 1:25.938 +1.180 9 10 7 ARG Carlos Reutemann Brabham-Ford 1:25.962 +1.204 10 11 33 GBR Mike Hailwood McLaren-Ford 1:26.040 +1.282 11 12 6 NZL Denny Hulme McLaren-Ford 1:26.480 +1.722 12 13 14 FRA Jean-Pierre Beltoise BRM 1:26.813 +2.055 13 14 28 GBR John Watson Brabham-Ford 1:27.100 +2.342 14 15 26 GBR Graham Hill Lola-Ford 1:27.173 +2.415 15 16 9 SWE Reine Wisell March-Ford 1:27.382 +2.624 16 17 10 ITA Vittorio Brambilla March-Ford 1:27.390 +2.632 17 18 27 GBR Guy Edwards Lola-Ford 1:27.407 +2.649 18 19 15 FRA Henri Pescarolo BRM 1:27.503 +2.745 19 20 8 LIE Rikky von Opel Brabham-Ford 1:27.690 +2.932 20 21 21 DEN Tom Belsø Iso-Marlboro-Ford 1:27.889 +3.131 21 22 19 GER Jochen Mass Surtees-Ford 1:28.119 +3.361 22 23 16 SWE Bertil Roos Shadow-Ford 1:28.298 +3.540 23 24 18 BRA Carlos Pace Surtees-Ford 1:28.574 +3.816 24 25 20 GBR Richard Robarts Iso-Marlboro-Ford 1:28.930 +4.172 DNS Did not start 26 23 FIN Leo Kinnunen Surtees-Ford 1:29.387 +4.629 25 DNQ Did not qualify 22 AUS Vern Schuppan Ensign-Ford 1:29.480 +4.722 261 1 DNQ Did not qualify 20 ITA Arturo Merzario Iso-Marlboro-Ford 1:53.677 +28.919 DNS Did not start 1 1 – Schuppan failed to qualify, but took the start of the race illegally.
