Notes[]

  • Pole position: Niki Lauda - 1:19.7[1]
  • Fastest lap: Niki Lauda - 1:21.1 on lap 25[2]
  • Lauda led most of the race, but developed a flat with just a few laps to go. He completed just 73 laps but was awarded an extra lap after the team protested his exit from the pit lane was blocked after the tire change. The television footage clearly showed the pit exit blocked by an official's car. He was initially classified ninth, but was awarded fifth place after appeal.
