According to 1976 World Champion James Hunt during the BBC commentary for the race, the protest was largely over the narrow pits at Zolder and that the pits were overcrowded, especially with people who were nothing more than 'hangers on' who were there to be seen and not for the actual racing.
Segundo o Campión do Mundo de 1976 James Hunt durante a retransmisión da carreira pola BBC, a protesta foi en gran parte polos estreitos boxes de Zolder e porque estaban abarrotados, especialmente por persoas que non eran máis que 'figurantes' que estaban alí para ser vistos e non por ser necesarios.
