Niki Lauda claimed pole during practice/qualifying, which had seen another huge crash by Patrick Depailler, although the Frenchman also escape uninjured, and made the race start. Ronnie Peterson, meanwhile, put the new Lotus 76 onto the front row, while Championship leader Clay Regazzoni shared row two with Emerson Fittipaldi. Rain on race day meant there would be a universal decision to start with full wet tyres, with Peterson slithering off the line fastest to take the lead. Lauda and Regazzoni claimed second and third behind the Lotus, while Jacky Ickx leapt into fourth ahead of Fittipaldi.

abstract
  • Niki Lauda claimed pole during practice/qualifying, which had seen another huge crash by Patrick Depailler, although the Frenchman also escape uninjured, and made the race start. Ronnie Peterson, meanwhile, put the new Lotus 76 onto the front row, while Championship leader Clay Regazzoni shared row two with Emerson Fittipaldi. Rain on race day meant there would be a universal decision to start with full wet tyres, with Peterson slithering off the line fastest to take the lead. Lauda and Regazzoni claimed second and third behind the Lotus, while Jacky Ickx leapt into fourth ahead of Fittipaldi. The early laps saw most of the drivers attempt to battle the spray rather than each other, meaning the order remained stable for some time. Fittipaldi was the only man on the move, falling down the order after developing a misfire, although strong pace in the first few laps meant he only dropped behind Jody Scheckter in the early stages. It was not long before the track dried, however, and so the pits became the centre of attention as the entire field swept in for slicks. The first major changed occurred during this period, as Peterson elected to stay out a lap longer than everyone else, only to suffer an engine failure around the back of the circuit. The sister car of Ickx was also in trouble, as the Belgian was released from the pits before the left rear wheel had been fastened on properly. Through all the chaos in the pits, the two Ferraris were now leading, Lauda ahead of Regazzoni, while wet weather master Hans-Joachim Stuck had been catapulted up to third. Merzario was up to fourth, although his race was about to come to an end when his Iso-Marlboro hit a wet patch, sending the Italian hurtling towards a barrier. Out of control there was little Merzario could do to prevent his car from vaulting over the Armco, landing among a group of photographers, who sprinted clear of a low flying F1 car. Fortunately, all of those in the path escaped without injury, while a rather bemused Merzario climbed out of the car unhurt. That proved to be the last incident of the race, which was stopped on the two hour mark with six laps still to be completed. Lauda duly collected a maiden victory in only his third season of Formula One, while Regazzoni continued to lead the World Championship, despite failing to claim victory yet again. Stuck was denied a maiden podium by a recovering Fittipaldi, while Scheckter and Denny Hulme completed the top six.
