Race Summary
The race was one of attrition, as extremely high retirement rates saw the majority of the field not finish the race. The race also had some sensational retirements, with Clay Regazzoni being launched past the barricade on the outside of Sante Devote after being bumped into by Mclaren's James Hunt. Chris Amon would be in the running for the win towards the end of the race, but would suffer an engine failiure of his own, leaving Vittorio Brambilla to win for only the second time of his career. Amon would finish second, followed by Tom Pryce, James Hunt, Emerson Fittipaldi, and Carlos Reutemann. All drivers would secure half points after the race was called off 48 laps into the event.
