The 1974 Dutch Grand Prix was held at Circuit Zandvoort on 23 June 1974. It was race 8 of 15 in both the 1974 World Championship of Drivers and the 1974 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers.
It was an all Ferrari front row after qualifying, with Niki Lauda sweeping to pole ahead of Clay Regazzoni. Two McLarens shared the second row, Emerson Fittipaldi ahead of Mike Hailwood, while Jody Scheckter would start the race from fifth alongside James Hunt.
There would be a fairly exciting start to the race on Sunday, with Lauda immediately slithering into the lead, ahead of a fast starting Hailwood. Regazzoni slipped to third ahead of Patrick Depailler, up from eighth, while Hunt made a terrible start before collecting Tom Pryce in turn one, eliminating the pair of them.
The order of the top six was settled for the the rest of the race, with Niki Lauda establishing a lead over teammate Clay Regazzoni, who was himself thirty seconds clear of Fittipaldi. Lauda was therefore left to claim a second career win ahead of Regazzoni, while Fittipaldi did little to close the gap in third
