Fastest lap in Formula One
^ It was initially announced that Hasemi set the fastest lap at the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix, but it was a measurement mistake, and, several days later, the circuit issued a press release to correct the fastest lap holder of the race to Jacques Laffite. This fact is widely known in Japan, but not known well outside Japan, thus, Hasemi has been treated as the fastest lap record holder of the race in many record books.
