During practice Niki Lauda announced his retirement from Formula One. Ricardo Zunino replaced him for the race. The organizers would not let the Alfa Romeo team compete unless they pre-qualified. They refused to do so but a compromise was reached where one of their drivers would be allowed to take part in practice. The other, Bruno Giacomelli , was not allowed to enter the race. The race turned into a close duel between Jones and Villeneuve that continued the entire race. CLASSIFICATION NOTES
