1976 F1 Season - Round 5 Belgium Zolder REPORTS
#22
On my side i had a good start and I was able to stand behind Ed who seemed to have handling problems. After a few laps I was able to pass and managed to keep myself very close to the leaders.

I had no idea of their strategy and I did not know if I was going to change my tires when I stopped, but I quickly saw that if I wanted to fight against Gorka for the victory, I had to put the gaz for the rest of the race without changing tires.

Unfortunately for him he had a big accident just as I was coming out of the wells behind him, and I took the first place with 20 laps to go. Daniel was 18 seconds behind but I had tires really worn, but I managed that lead to win the race. I was lucky but I will take it, it was a long time.

This victory is special on the circuit or Gilles Villeneuve is dead, I must admit that I often thought of him while passing in de la Butte corner.

Thank you all specially to the admins to make this possible.
