If you have a spare 9 million or so laying around, you could own one of 3 original Eagle Weslake F1 cars. Often included as one of if not the most beautiful F1 car of all time, Chassis 103 was driven in period by Dan himself as well as other drivers from Anglo American Racing.

Pirelli praying for more downforce development from teams to ease high degradation on hardest compounds. There is more slide than grip due to less than anticipated downforce load for Hard tyres, F1chronicle claims

This matters as expected variation of strategies and stops, i.e. more than one per race is not really happening.

That's true of course if you overlook Ferrari's clever multi stop winning effort. 
But even that relied on the softer compounds to work well.

Whislst Ferrari may feel they've acheived something does the Madring really expect to be pristine in under 2 months when we see the complete building site round the whole place? 

Video below is in spanish, if you click watch on youtube you may be able to get english language auto dubbing to work on the original video.

R&D at Ford dreamed up a car to run on Uranium fuel to generate steam that would drive a turbine and power the vehicle for thousands of kilometers without refueling.

On paper, the Nucleon promised incredible range and quiet operation, but serious challenges involving safety, heat management, weight, and fuel supply made the concept impossible to bring to production, or even to make a working prototype.

Life team was bunch of crazy italians led by Ernesto Vita in 1990 trying to exploit a W series 12 cylinder engine Franco Rocchi created in his Ferrari years.

Seems so obvious why they failed when you view this:-

Dan Gurney made F1 history July 8th 1962 at Rouen clinching his first of 4 GP career wins & Porsche's first Win.

Seems certain that V8s are likely to make a comeback in 2031, see article below, but can an independent engine supply really take on the big boys?

In other series sanctioned independent engine supply, to ensure numbers on grid, falls short in producing winners.

Could it be budget restricted teams just can't match areo development & chassis build of leading manufacturer backed outfits, or do OEMs still manage to produce better PUs?

Seems Sprint races are here to stay and we'll get more of them in future.
If we have to have them how many is too much?
