note : la classe non é acqua e l’esperto Laffite vince sul bagnato il GP del Canada, inserendosi nella lotta per il mondiale, se vince a Las Vegas e Reutemann e Piquet fanno una gara come quella di oggi, secondo é Watson, terzo Villeneuve che fa di tutto per salire sul podio a casa sua, compreso guidare senza visibilità a causa dell’alettone piegato.
