. The start of the race was delayed as the track had to be swept clear of broken glass from over-exuberant spectators' celebrations and then
's engine failed. When it did start, the flag caught some of the field unawares. Reutemann and
took advantage of the confusion to sweep into the lead, but by lap 4, Reutemann's tyres were going off. The race developed into a classic duel between Fittipaldi and Peterson, the Brazilian taking the lead on lap 16 and the Swede soon having to pit with a puncture (believed to be caused by some glass still left on the track).
until on lap 31 the heavens opened. With the track awash and the conditions dangerous, the race was red-flagged. It was McLaren's second win of the year, but it was
who, with Regazzoni, topped the drivers' table - for the first time since March 1971.
