The B40 was Chevron's design for the 1977 F2 season and was a tidied up and improved version of the B35. It was a front runner in the European Championship, wholly competitive with its rivals: the March 772, Martini MK22 and the Ralt RT1. Although the B40 only won twice, Rosberg at Enna and Leoni in the Ferrari-engined chassis at Misano, it was competitive everywhere as five second places showed. In addition to the aforementioned Ferrari engine both Hart and BMW were the engines of choice.

Notable drivers:
Elio de Angelis, Wink Bancroft, Derek Daly, Guy Edwards, Eje Elgh, Maurizio Flammini, Brian Henton, Masahiro Hasemi, Tetsu Ikuzawa, Jean-Pierre Jaussaud, Alan Jones, Jacques Lafitte, Lamberto Leoni, Klaus Ludwig, Ray Mallock, Arturo Merzario, Tiff Needel, Riccardo Patrese, Clay Regazzoni, Alex Ribeiro, Keke Rosberg, Patrick Tambay, Greg Young.
