Reutemann was not expecting any help winning the Championship from teammate Jones, who explained, "I don't see how I can help him; I would not go holding up people as I am a member of the British Commonwealth (Australia, specifically) and I would consider that unsporting."
Reutemann non esperaba ningunha axuda para gañar o Campionato do seu compañeiro Jones, quen explicou, "Eu non vexo como o podo axudar, non penso bloquear ao resto da xente, xa que son membro da Commonwealth británica (Australia, especificamente) e eu consideraríao antideportivo ".
