== Race ==

=== Controversy ===
This race was notable for a collision involving [[Jody Scheckter]] and [[Emerson Fittipaldi]]. Scheckter, who was given an opportunity to drive a factory McLaren for this event was leading from the start in just his third Formula One race. On lap 41, Fittipaldi had closed and attempted to pass the South African, but Scheckter closed the door and they made heavy contact, forcing Emerson into retirement. Scheckter continued but retired shortly afterwards with suspension damage. Fittipaldi ran to the McLaren pits, eventually resulting in fierce words between the two drivers. Scheckter claimed years later that Fittipaldi had called him a 'young hooligan' for his role in the incident. Many drivers wanted him banned from the sport, but McLaren instead decided to put him on the sidelines for a number of races.

===Results===
Meanwhile, after so many promising races turned to nothing, Swedish driver [[Ronnie Peterson]] finally celebrated victory for the first time in his career, driving a [[Team Lotus|Lotus]]. [[Tyrrell Racing|Tyrrell]] driver [[François Cevert]] finished in second place, whilst [[Carlos Reutemann]] finished in third place, driving a [[Brabham]], followed by [[Jackie Stewart]]'s Tyrrell in fourth, [[Jacky Ickx]] fifth for Ferrari, and [[James Hunt]] scoring his first point of his F1 career driving a Hesketh-owned March.

Race

Controversy

[edit]

This race was notable for a collision involving Jody Scheckter and Emerson Fittipaldi. Scheckter, who was given an opportunity to drive a factory McLaren for this event was leading from the start in just his third Formula One race. On lap 41, Fittipaldi had closed and attempted to pass the South African, but Scheckter closed the door and they made heavy contact, forcing Emerson into retirement. Scheckter continued but retired shortly afterwards with suspension damage. Fittipaldi ran to the McLaren pits, eventually resulting in fierce words between the two drivers. Scheckter claimed years later that Fittipaldi had called him a 'young hooligan' for his role in the incident. Many drivers wanted him banned from the sport, but McLaren instead decided to put him on the sidelines for a number of races.

Results

[edit]

Meanwhile, after so many promising races turned to nothing, Swedish driver Ronnie Peterson finally celebrated victory for the first time in his career, driving a Lotus. Tyrrell driver François Cevert finished in second place, whilst Carlos Reutemann finished in third place, driving a Brabham, followed by Jackie Stewart's Tyrrell in fourth, Jacky Ickx fifth for Ferrari, and James Hunt scoring his first point of his F1 career driving a Hesketh-owned March.
