Formula 1 - 1978 - Round 6 - Belgian GP

It was a busy start to raceday on Sunday, with the pre-race warm-up causing several minor headaches across the field, although all of those concerns were cured without issue.[2] It was also confirmed that Alan Jones and Bruno Giacomelli would both race despite their injuries, while the rest of the field set about ensuring that their spare cars were ready to run just in-case.[2] Regardless, there were no last-minute issues as pole sitter Mario Andretti lined up on the grid for the start, with all 24 qualifiers ready to do battle around the Circuit Zolder for 70 laps.[2]
