Notes
- Lauda completed just 73 laps but was allowed an extra lap after the team protested his exit from the pit lane was blocked after a late wheel change. He initially classified ninth, but was awarded fifth place after appeal.
- Lombardi used number 208 because her car was sponsored by Radio Luxembourg, whose wavelength was 208 metres (equivalent to a frequency of 1439 kHz).[5]
