Formula One 1977 - Lauda's Comeback - Michl Technik

1977 saw Niki Lauda start the season, scarred but fit. And determined to put his horrific accident in 76 behind him. The first race of the season, in Argentina, provided a maiden victory for the Wolf team, which was followed by an extremely successful debut season, ending with Jody Schecker taking second place in the Championship. Lauda's fist victory came in the third round, however, his celebrations at Kyalami were muted, as the safety regulations in Formula One were once again brought into question. Young Welsh driver Tom Pryce was killd instantly in a collision with a marshal, crossing the track to assist with a retired car. The marshal also died.
