In 1977 McLaren began using the M26 model, which was tested in 1976 but never raced. However, the M23 was used very frequently, especially in the first part of the season. Hunt took the first three poles of 1977, but never managed to win a race. The best result of the season was the second place taken by the Englishman in Brazil and by Mass in Sweden. In the second part of the season, the M23 was used occasionally to race a third driver in addition to the two titled drivers, who used the M26 on a permanent basis. In England the M23 baptized Gilles Villeneuve's F1 debut, while at Monza it was Bruno Giacomelli's turn, also making his debut in the world championship. The M23 also began to be used by private pilots such as the Spanish Emilio de Villota of the Iberia Airlines team and the American Brett Lunger of Chesterfield Racing.
