[edit] Race summary

Jean-Pierre Jarier was again the pole position, after beating the 1973 pole record. He lined up ahead of local hero Emerson Fittipaldi. The race was delayed whilst the track was washed down to remove debris - punctures had played a critical part in the 1974 race and no-one wanted a repeat of these problems.

This race marked the last start (and finish) of Graham Hill's extremely long F1 career.
