Niki Lauda clinched his second Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship in 1977 with 72 points, taking three wins, 10 podiums and two pole positions along the way. The Austrian driver finished 17 points clear of Jody Scheckter. The team of the drivers' champion, Ferrari, also took their fifth Constructors' Championship with 95 points and four race wins. It was their third constructors' crown in a row.

Lauda wrapped up the title with two rounds to spare, at the USA Grand Prix (round 15 of 17), while his team Ferrari had already secured the Constructors' crown one round earlier, at the Italian Grand Prix (round 14 of 17).

The 1977 season completed one of Formula 1’s great comeback stories. Just a year after his near-fatal Nürburgring crash, Lauda returned with typical precision and restraint, winning fewer races than some rivals but building his title on relentless consistency. His relationship with Ferrari had soured badly by the end, and after sealing the championship at Watkins Glen he walked away from the team before the final two races. It was a cold, clinical and very Lauda way to win a world title.
