The 1974 Ferrari 312B was a great single-seater, which even on circuits that were not theoretically favorable for it, used to share the first starting line. The homogeneity of the chassis-engine combination of the new Ferrari made this model the best single-seater of the year, although the drivers' and constructors' titles eluded Ferrari. There was also a revolution in terms of the drivers, with Ickx being replaced by a rising figure, Niki Lauda, and reliing on Regazzonni instead of Merzario as second driver. And in order for the competition department to work better in terms of coordination, Agnelli sent a young man he trusted from Fiat's legal department named Luca de Montezemolo.
The twelve-cylinder Boxer engine continued to evolve under the direction of engineer Rocchi, which for the 1974 season produced some 480 hp at 12,400 rpm, some 20 hp more than the Cosworth, although with slightly lower maximum torque.
In Jarama in 1974 the start of the race was carried out on a wet track, although without rain. When the track dried up, the drivers went through the pits to change tires, in an unusual maneuver at that time. The Ferrari mechanics, better trained in this task thanks to the endurance races, were the fastest, leaving their two drivers in the first two positions. The retirements of Ickx and Peterson made Ferrari's race even easier, but regardless of the skill of the mechanics, Lauda's race was excellent, without errors, taking victory and Ferrari a celebrated double. From this race, where Niki Lauda obtained what was his first victory (and Ferrari's 50th), it was clear that Lauda was Ferrari's number 1 driver, whose coldness and professionalism were not only going to impress everyone, but they were going to create a school. It was the beginning of the “Lauda era”.
