GIRO VELOCE
| Pilota | Telaio | Motore | Tempo | Gap | Giro | Media |
| Chris AMON | Matra | Matra | 2’53”9 | 32 | 166.751 |
note : Amon non é proprio destinato a vincere un GP, é il più veloce in prova ed in gara ma, a causa di una sosta per cambiare la gomma anteriore sinistra a terra, arriva solo terzo. Vince Stewart, sulla seconda Ferrari corre Nanni Galli: qualcosa tra Maranello e Regazzoni si sta inclinando. Drammatico ed inconsueto incidente alla promessa Helmut Marko : al nono giro é colpito al viso da un sasso sparato da un’altra macchina, il pilota austriaco perderà un’occhio e questo, ovviamente, significa il suo ritiro dalle corse, rimarrà nell’ambito agonistico come team manager.
