Notes[edit]
- This Grand Prix saw the first ever use of a safety car in Formula One.[1] Eppie Wietzes drove a yellow Porsche 914. Wietzes stayed in front of Howden Ganley's Iso-Marlboro car by mistake, which allowed several drivers, including eventual winner Peter Revson, to gain a lap on the field.[2]
- Also this is the first Grand Prix to have a car with the number 0, as driven by Jody Scheckter.[3]
- Last win: Peter Revson.
Championship standings after the race[edit]
