GIRO VELOCE
Pilota | Telaio | Motore | Tempo | Gap | Giro | Media |
Mario ANDRETTI | Lotus | Ford Cosworth | 1’17”09 | 2 | 191.651 |
note : incredibile prestazione di Patrese con la nuova Arrows, il pilota italiano conduce la gara dal 27° al 63° giro quando si deve ritirare per la rottura del motore, la gara é vinta da Peterson di pochissimo su Depailler. Debuttano Rosberg che porta in gara la Theodore per la prima volta e Cheever che porta in gara la Hesketh per l’ultima volta.
