7. Huub Rothengatter, Hllnd Osella         4 laps

Senna and Lauda both had their moments, but both also had offs, Lauda's off
track excursion causing his retirement. Streiff attempted to pass Laffite on 
what was the last lap, collided with his elder teammate, nearly knocking off 
his own left front wheel.  Laffite continued undamaged, and Streiff limped 
around to maintain 3rd.  Very exciting finale!
