E’ la prima vittoria di Reutemann e la prima pole di Lauda, in prova ottima prestazione di Pace, secondo, e di Merzario, terzo. Beltoise si classifica, in gara, al secondo posto, é l’ultimo risultato di prestigio per la BRM, una marca che ha conquistato molte vittorie ed un mondiale e che, ora, é destinata ad un triste declino.
