Notes


  • Lap Leaders: Patrick Depailler 10 laps (1–10); Jacques Laffite 43 laps (11–53).

  • The race had to be restarted because there was a huge crash at the second of the very fast esses after the pit straight that took off a number of drivers, including Jody Scheckter, Nelson Piquet, John Watson, Patrick Tambay and Mario Andretti.

  • Formula One debut for Elio de Angelis.

  • Local hero Carlos Reutemann charged through the field up from 6th to 2nd, although it wasn't enough to catch Jacques Laffite.


Championship standings after the race








  • Note: Only the top five positions are included for both sets of standings.
