Description
The 1978 Argentine Grand Prix, otherwise known as the XVI Gran Premio de la Republica Argentina, was the opening round of the 1978 FIA Formula One World Championship, staged at the Autódromo Municipal Ciudad de Buenos Aires on the 15 January, 1978. The race would be remembered for a dominant performance by Mario Andretti, who was only denied a maiden Grand Chelem by Gilles Villeneuve.
It had been a less turbulent winter amid F1's political scene, meaning most interest had been placed on the driver market. The biggest change had seen defending Champion quit Ferrari to join Brabham-Alfa Romeo, while Ronnie Peterson had rejoined Lotus and their new "ground effect project. On the team front there were several changes, although the most significant change came after Max Mosley sold March to the German based ATS squad.
Andretti had got things underway early on in Buenos Aires, dictating the pace throughout qualifying before claiming pole position ahead of Carlos Reutemann. Ronnie Peterson, John Watson and Lauda were next, while James Hunt edged out young Villeneuve for sixth.
