Race report
It was expected the 12-cylinder cars would be dominant over the V8 Ford Cosworths-Ferrari had won 4 out of the last 5 Grands Prix in 1970,and with a strong line-up of Mario Andretti,Clay Regazzoni and Jacky Ickx seemed a certain bet for the title.
Jackie Stewart took pole in the Tyrrell with a superb lap time to join Chris Amon and Regazzoni on the front row.Denny Hulme was suffering with a new suspension that was behaving most strangely.Regazzoni led the field away-both Stewart and Amon suffered slow starts.Emerson Fittipaldi managed to hold off Hulme until lap 3 when he dived through to chase the Ferraris.On lap 17,he squeezed through dramatically under braking and the orange McLaren once again led a race.Pedro Rodriguez was forced to retire from 4th place when his bodywork started to melt and the hot air began burning his feet.The heat also took its toll on Jo Siffert,whose engine overheated and Howden Ganley who was taken ill with heat exhaustion.On lap 37,John Surtees who had steadily been moving up the field,managed to pass Regazzoni.
