 Formula One History - Wings, Shunts & Ground Effects
Despite a season marred by protests and concerns about driver safety — Fittipaldi refused to drive in the Spanish GP, which was stopped after 29 laps when a car launched into the crowd, killing four spectators — Lauda took nine poles and won five races to capture his first of three F1 crowns.
Formula One cars now sported huge airboxes behind the cockpits to increase air flow to the engine, leading the way (after a short experiment with the famous six-wheel Tyrrell P34, which was a front-runner throughout 1976) to the next major technical revolution in F1: ground effects.
Lauda re-captured the title with Ferrari in 1977, but quit the team with two races to go, following a calculated 4th place championship-clincher at the U.S. Grand Prix, to join Bernie Ecclestone's Parmalat Brabham team — and be replaced in the Ferrari by Gilles Villeneuve.

 The "Notch" Provision
The formula used to calculate the COLA was flawed, and the benefit levels actually rose faster than the rate of inflation.
Before the Congress corrected this error in 1977, the benefits for many people born between 1910 and 1916 were calculated using the flawed benefit formula, and they received an unintended windfall from Social Security.
Benefits for everyone born in 1922 and later are calculated using only the new and correct 1977 formula which generally results in lower benefits than those computed using the “notch” calculation method.

The 1977 Formula 1 season was the second season for Tyrrell's radical six wheeled P34 F1 car.
It was wider overall and had new upper bodywork without the small "portholes" beneath the rear view mirrors which on the original version were installed to allow the driver to see the small front tires while driving (both to check on their condition and to help place the car in corners).
His team-mate from 1976 Jody Scheckter won the race, but in 1977 he was driving for the new Wolf F1 team, having left Tyrrell at the end of 1976 as he saw no future in the six wheeled car.

For a long period of time the original formula was kept from public view because of the respect and sacredness with which the elder and his family held this formula.

The relatively brief reign of turbocharged engines in F1 witnessed some of greatest raw horsepower ever unleashed on the famous circuits, coupled with personal rivalries among champions that continue to affect the sport today.
The first turbo was remarkably quick, although suffering from "turbo lag" under acceleration, but very unreliable, and it would be a year before the Renault finished a Grand Prix.
Niki Lauda won five of those to seven for Prost, and won the F1 drivers' title by 1/2 point — the strange total arising because the Monaco GP was halted in a thunderstorm after 31 laps and only half points awarded.
