Pre-Race Report
Previous race
At Jarama, Peterson led from the start on a damp, drying track. Ferrari got Lauda in and out for slick tyres in 35 seconds, enabling him to take the lead and hold it to the flag for his first career victory — Ferrari’s 50th Grand Prix win, ending a record-setting 22-race winning streak for Ford-powered cars. Regazzoni completed a Ferrari 1–2. Merzario was running a strong fourth before hitting the wall.
Circuit
The Belgian Grand Prix moves from Zolder to Nivelles-Baulers. This is the second and last time the race will be held at this circuit.
