...Mario Andretti, the eventual winner in his first Grand Prix victory this year, was critical of Lauda's decision. Said he: "Once the race was on, he should have battled to the finish." Hunt was more understanding: "It was better for me because I was leading. I didn't have the spray problems the others did. I felt very sorry for Niki.
