Pre-Race Report

Championship standings

Wolf Racing won on debut in Argentina, giving Scheckter an immediate lead in the championship. Hunt, who led for several laps before a suspension failure forced retirement, is yet to score.

Previous race

In Argentina, Scheckter controlled the closing stages after John Watson and Hunt both retired with suspension failures. Carlos Pace ran second for Brabham — his compatriots in the stands filling a Buenos Aires track sweltering in 51 °C conditions — before yielding the place in the closing laps. Reutemann completed the podium for Ferrari.

Milestones

The race at Interlagos is the longest circuit of the season at five miles. Pace competes on his home circuit in São Paulo.
