Pre-Race Report

Championship standings

Fittipaldi leads the championship after winning the opening round in Argentina.

Previous race

At Buenos Aires, Fittipaldi took the lead from James Hunt with 18 laps to go and held on to win, launching his title defence in style. Hunt gave Hesketh a superb second on debut with the 308’s new rubber suspension, and Reutemann completed the podium in front of his home crowd. Jean-Pierre Jarier had claimed pole for Shadow but did not even start — his transmission failed on the parade lap.

Practice

The track is washed down before competition begins; punctures had disrupted the 1974 race at Interlagos, and organisers are keen to avoid a repeat.
