Canadian Grand Prix 1974 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Fittipaldi claimed a vital victory at Mosport, keeping his championship hopes alive heading into the season finale. The Brazilian's smooth, calculated drive through Canada's challenging circuit demonstrated the racecraft that had made him a champion in 1972. Regazzoni's second place maintained his championship lead by three points with one race remaining, setting up a dramatic showdown at Watkins Glen. Peterson's third provided a solid end to Lotus's season, though the team's struggles highlighted how far they had fallen from 1972's dominance. The championship would be decided in upstate New York in one week, with Fittipaldi needing to finish ahead of Regazzoni or hope for the Swiss driver's retirement.
