Pre-Race Report

Previous race

At Buenos Aires, chaos erupted at the first corner when Regazzoni and Revson collided, also catching Jarier, Merzario, and Watson. Peterson led early but faded with brake trouble. Reutemann took the lead by lap three and appeared to have the race under control until his Brabham began misfiring; Hulme swept past on the penultimate lap. Reutemann ran out of fuel on the final lap and was classified seventh. Hulme won from tenth on the grid, with Lauda and Regazzoni completing the podium.

Pre-race

The start of the race was delayed as the track had to be swept clear of broken glass left by over-exuberant spectators during pre-race celebrations. Arturo Merzario’s engine also failed before the start.

Qualifying

Emerson Fittipaldi takes pole position for his home race from Carlos Reutemann.
