The steering wheel of the McLaren Ford M23, wielded by Emerson Fittipaldi during the 1974 Formula One season, symbolizes a significant chapter in Fittipaldi's illustrious career. Fittipaldi, already a World Champion in 1972 with Lotus, showcased his exceptional skill and determination throughout the 1974 season. The M23, renowned for its reliability and speed, served as Fittipaldi's trusty companion in his pursuit of another championship title. The Brazilian driver's victory that year was not just a testament to his talent but also marked a unique milestone in Formula One history. Fittipaldi became the first driver to win the World Championship driving a car with Marlboro sponsorship, setting a precedent for the sport's commercialization and its enduring partnership with corporate brands.
