On May 26, 1974, Ronnie Peterson, driving for John Player Special Team Lotus, won the Monaco Grand Prix. Only nine of the 25 cars finished the race after a first-lap pile-up eliminated five cars and sent another three limping back to the pits. Jody Scheckter finished second in a Tyrrell, and Jean-Pierre Jarier came in third in a Shadow; all of them were powered by Ford engines.
