German driver Jochen Mass finished second in a McLaren-Ford, with Argentinian Carlos Reutemann third in a Ferrari. Report The Swedish race was full of anticipation after Gunnar Nilsson's win last time out, but once again in qualifying, it was his teammate Mario Andretti leading the way from John Watson, with James Hunt heading the second row. At the start of the race, Watson led into the first corner, followed by Jody Scheckter. Soon, however, Andretti passed both of them and opened up a lead. Watson and Scheckter battled for second until they collided, forcing Scheckter to retire and Watson to have to pit for repairs. James Hunt, who was now in second, began to drop back; he was passed by a charging Jacques Laffite and his teammate, Jochen Mass. Andretti, however, was dominant until he had to pit due to a fuel metering problem with two laps left. In doing so, he handed the lead to Laffite, who went on to take his first ever Formula One victory ahead of Mass and Carlos Reutemann. Laffite's victory in his Gitanes-sponsored Ligier-Matra marked the first all-French victory in World Championship history.http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr288.html Grand Prix Results: Swedish GP, 1977 Grandprix.com 26 October 2017 Classification Qualifying Pos Position No Number Driver Constructor Time Gap Gap to the fastest driver in seconds 1 5 USA Mario Andretti Lotus-Ford 1:25.404 — 2 7 GBR John Watson Brabham-Alfa Romeo 1:25.545 +0.141 3 1 GBR James Hunt McLaren-Ford 1:25.626 +0.222 4 20 South Africa 1928 Jody Scheckter Wolf-Ford 1:25.681 +0.277 5 8 FRG Hans-Joachim Stuck Brabham-Alfa Romeo 1:26.127 +0.723 6 4 FRA Patrick Depailler Tyrrell-Ford 1:26.209 +0.805 7 6 SWE Gunnar Nilsson Lotus-Ford 1:26.227 +0.823 8 26 FRA Jacques Laffite Ligier-Matra 1:26.259 +0.855 9 2 FRG Jochen Mass McLaren-Ford 1:26.380 +0.976 10 3 SWE Ronnie Peterson Tyrrell-Ford 1:26.383 +0.979 11 17 AUS Alan Jones Shadow-Ford 1:26.529 +1.125 12 12 ARG Carlos Reutemann Ferrari 1:26.542 +1.138 13 19 ITA Vittorio Brambilla Surtees-Ford 1:26.573 +1.169 14 22 SUI Clay Regazzoni Ensign-Ford 1:26.616 +1.212 15 11 AUT Niki Lauda Ferrari 1:26.826 +1.422 16 16 GBR Jackie Oliver Shadow-Ford 1:27.492 +2.088 17 34 FRA Jean-Pierre Jarier Penske-Ford 1:27.537 +2.133 18 28 BRA 1968 Emerson Fittipaldi Fittipaldi-Ford 1:27.620 +2.216 19 31 GBR David Purley LEC-Ford 1:27.716 +2.312 20 27 BEL Patrick Nève March-Ford 1:27.758 +2.354 21 10 South Africa 1928 Ian Scheckter March-Ford 1:27.806 +2.402 22 30 USA Brett Lunger McLaren-Ford 1:28.205 +2.801 23 25 AUT Harald Ertl Hesketh-Ford 1:28.377 +2.973 24 24 GBR Rupert Keegan Hesketh-Ford 1:28.404 +3.000 Cut-off 25 9 BRA 1968 Alex Ribeiro March-Ford 1:28.463 +3.059 26 36 Spain 1977 Emilio de Villota McLaren-Ford 1:28.708 +3.304 27 18 AUS Larry Perkins Surtees-Ford 1:28.766 +3.362 28 33 NED Boy Hayje March-Ford 1:29.086 +3.682 29 39 MEX Héctor Rebaque Hesketh-Ford 1:29.889 +4.485 30 35 SWE Conny Andersson BRM 1:30.286 +4.882 31 32 FIN Mikko Kozarowitzky March-Ford 1:31.079 +5.675 Race Pos No Driver Constructor Laps Time/Retired Grid Points 1 26 FRA Jacques Laffite Ligier-Matra 72 1:46:55.520 8 9 2 2 FRG Jochen Mass McLaren-Ford 72 + 8.449 9 6 3 12 ARG Carlos Reutemann Ferrari 72 + 14.369Formula1.com in early 2022 listed it as 14.367, but the archived version says 14.369 which is also confirmed by a contemporary report in the Motorsport magazine. 12 4 4 4 FRA Patrick Depailler Tyrrell-Ford 72 + 16.308 6 3 5 7 UK John Watson Brabham-Alfa Romeo 72 + 18.735 2 2 6 5 USA Mario Andretti Lotus-Ford 72 + 25.277 1 1 7 22 SUI Clay Regazzoni Ensign-Ford 72 + 31.266 14   8 34 FRA Jean-Pierre Jarier Penske-Ford 72 + 1:04.567 17   9 16 UK Jackie Oliver Shadow-Ford 72 + 1:22.479 16   10 8 FRG Hans-Joachim Stuck Brabham-Alfa Romeo 71 + 1 lap 5   11 30 USA Brett Lunger McLaren-Ford 71 + 1 lap 22   12 1 UK James Hunt McLaren-Ford 71 + 1 lap 3   13 24 UK Rupert Keegan Hesketh-Ford 71 + 1 lap 24   14 31 UK David Purley LEC-Ford 70 + 2 laps 19   15 27 BEL Patrick Nève March-Ford 69 + 3 laps 20   16 25 AUT Harald Ertl Hesketh-Ford 68 + 4 laps 23   17 17 AUS Alan Jones Shadow-Ford 67 + 5 laps 11   18 28 BRA 1968 Emerson Fittipaldi Fittipaldi-Ford 66 + 6 laps 18   19 6 SWE Gunnar Nilsson Lotus-Ford 64 Wheel bearing 7   Ret Retired 10 South Africa 1928 Ian Scheckter March-Ford 61 Transmission 21   Ret Retired 19 ITA Vittorio Brambilla Surtees-Ford 52 Fuel pressure 13   Ret Retired 11 AUT Niki Lauda Ferrari 47 Handling 15   Ret Retired 20 South Africa 1928 Jody Scheckter Wolf-Ford 29 Accident 4   Ret Retired 3 SWE Ronnie Peterson Tyrrell-Ford 7 Ignition 10   DNQ Did not qualify 9 BRA 1968 Alex Ribeiro March-Ford         DNQ Did not qualify 36 Spain 1977 Emilio de Villota McLaren-Ford         DNQ Did not qualify 18 AUS Larry Perkins Surtees-Ford         DNQ Did not qualify 33 NED Boy Hayje March-Ford         DNQ Did not qualify 39 MEX Héctor Rebaque Hesketh-Ford         DNQ Did not qualify 35 SWE Conny Andersson BRM         DNQ Did not qualify 32 FIN Mikko Kozarowitzky March-Ford        Source:http://www.formula1.com/results/season/1977/432/ 1977 Swedish Grand Prix Formula1.com 23 December 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20141021093939/http://www.formula1.com/results/season/1977/432/ 21 October 2014https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/july-1977/25/swedish-grand-prix-5 The Swedish Grand Prix Motorsport July 1977 795–796 2022-02-05 Notes This was the Formula One World Championship debut for Finnish driver Mikko Kozarowitzky.
