From the archive: 1978 Austrian GP

Mario Andretti’s Lotus 78 rides the kerb of the Osterreichring’s new Hella-licht chicane at the 1977 Austrian Grand Prix. Andretti qualified third on the grid and leaped into the lead at the start, pulling out a sizeable advantage before his Cosworth engine blew up on lap 12. The race was won by Alan Jones (Shadow-ford DN8A) ahead of Niki Lauda (Ferrari 312T2) and Hans-joachim Stuck (Brabham-alfa Romeo BT45B). It was Jones’s maiden grand prix victory and the sole win for the Shadow team.
