Notes[]

  • Pole position: Ronnie Peterson - 1:13.697
  • Fastest lap: Emerson Fittipaldi - 1:15.496
  • This Grand Prix saw the first ever use of a safety car in Formula One.[1] Eppie Wietzes drove a yellow Porsche 914. Wietzes stayed in front of Howden Ganley's Iso-Marlboro car by mistake, which allowed several drivers, including eventual winner Peter Revson, to gain a lap on the field.[2]
  • Also this is the first Grand Prix to have a car with the number 0, as driven by Jody Scheckter.[3]
