In reaction to that race, it was announced in October 1978 that the Italian Grand Prix would move to the Autodromo Dino Ferrari circuit in Imola for the next three years although this did not actually happen until 1980 and the 1979 Italian Grand Prix was at Monza again.
Como consecuencia desa carreira, en outubro de 1978 anunciouse que o Gran Premio de Italia sería trasladado ao Autódromo Dino Ferrari en Imola para os seguintes tres anos aínda que isto en realidade non sucedeu ata 1980 e o Gran Premio de Italia de 1979 celebrouse de novo en Monza.
