[[Emerson Fittipaldi]] took pole position for his home race from [[Carlos Reutemann]]. 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 [[Arturo Merzario]]'s engine failed. When it did start, the flag caught some of the field unawares. Reutemann and [[Ronnie Peterson]] 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). |
