Race Summary

Niki Lauda claimed his second consecutive victory at Zolder, continuing Ferrari's dominant form and extending his championship lead. The Austrian's methodical approach and the 312T's superior balance proved unbeatable at the technical Belgian circuit, where precision and consistency mattered more than outright speed. Lauda's growing confidence and Ferrari's technical superiority were transforming what had been a competitive championship into an increasingly one-sided affair.

Jody Scheckter finished second for Tyrrell, unable to match Lauda's pace but delivering a solid points finish that kept him in championship contention. The South African's aggressive style was well-suited to Zolder's combination of slow corners and quick direction changes, but Ferrari's advantage was becoming apparent. Carlos Reutemann completed the podium for Brabham, his fifth podium finish in six races demonstrating remarkable consistency even if outright victories remained elusive.

The race proceeded without major incident, allowing Ferrari to showcase their technical excellence in controlled conditions. Lauda's back-to-back victories at Monaco and Zolder established him as the clear championship favorite, with Ferrari's 312T proving superior in both street circuit precision and permanent circuit speed. The Austrian's championship challenge was gathering unstoppable momentum as the European season began in earnest.
