The 1977 Formula One season was the 31st season of the FIA's Formula One motor racing. It featured the 28th World Championship of Drivers and the 20th International Cup for Formula 1 Constructors,[1] which commenced on 9 January 1977, and ended on 23 October after seventeen races, making it the longest Formula One season in the sport's history at the time. The season also included a single non-championship race for Formula One cars, the 1977 Race of Champions.
Niki Lauda won his second championship, despite Mario Andretti winning more races. Jody Scheckter's Wolf won first time out, Shadow took their only victory, and Gunnar Nilsson achieved the only win of a career ended by cancer. Renault entered Grand Prix racing with a turbocharged car which was initially not very successful. The German ATS team took over the Penske cars and the South African Grand Prix was the last race a BRM ever qualified to start. Lauda departed Ferrari even before the season ended, so did not complete the season, having already sealed the title thanks to his consistent form. Ferrari won its third consecutive Constructors' title with new driver Carlos Reutemann having a solid season.
The season was also marred by one of the most horrific accidents in Formula One history. During the South African GP on 5 March, Tom Pryce was unable to avoid hitting 19-year-old race marshall Frederik Jansen van Vuuren, who had tried to cross the track. The latter was killed in the collision, and his fire extinguisher struck and killed Pryce, whose car proceeded to the end of the straight where it collided with Jacques Laffite's Ligier. There was further tragedy as Carlos Pace lost his life in an aviation accident only a couple of weeks after Pryce's accident.

i`m now 51 and 3quarters. When i was aged around 8-9, my Grandad used to play the Formula 1 car sounds on a cassette tape which he recorded, i remember being taken back in amazement at the sound, over 40 years ago, my love for F1 started then.

It's amazing to see them steering with the throttle at some corners! The tires were sticky but not so sticky they couldn't spool them up whilst turning! So cool.

The greatest drifting video anyone will ever see. PROPER drifting, not figure skating on four wheels.

This is the real F1 not today’s nonsense… it’s become a very bling organisation.

It's crazy to see how death was surrounding them and they were still going like nothing happened

I'd much rather watch this over today's cookie-cutter cars. So what if they're faster now...they all look identical. The cars 40 years ago had individual style and character..

.......... and the '75-'76 cars looked even better.

Yep, the cars from the late 60s through to the late 80s were magic in my opinion. The circuits too. Each one had it’s own character, topological features, a sense of location. Watching modern circuits it could be anywhere, just featureless concrete and day glo run off areas

C'est que c'était le début de la montée de la France en Formule 1. François Cevert et Prost s'élèvent à partir des années 1970 jusqu'à son arrivée en F-1 en 1980.

It must have been an incredibly difficult thing for Italian-born Mario Andretti to pass on an opportunity to be lead Ferrari driver in 1978. He did win the championship with Lotus, so I suppose it was OK... but _still,_ that had to be a tough call.

I think he knew better things were going to happen from the Lotus 78

No more cringeworthy than the mispronunciation of Anglo names like Rutherford.

Belle immagini ma video lacunoso,nessuna classifica alla fine di ogni gara e nemmeno quella finale di stagione, nemmeno un fotogramma dell'incidente di Pryce,un lavoro frettoloso che lascia delusi, scarso, parlato in Inglese oltretutto...

GTFO, this was better than anything on TV at the time. You're obviously too young.
