On lap 15, Hanley was with Thonon. The overtake was on the line. Thonon had to let him past and later also dropped behind Camponeschi.

Camponeschi began the last lap on Hanley’s bumper, but the Englush driver was faster and won the race ahead of the Italian. Negro took the 3rd step of the podium in front of Iglesias and Lundberg.
