I watched those a couple weekends ago. Really cool to see them again. I went to the F1 race in Dallas in 1984 and while I couldn’t get into pits to see them up close, there was a show car in a Dallas mall that weekend. I couldn’t believe how small it was. Not much bigger than a Malibu Grand Prix car of the time. Of course the 19” wide rear tires of the era where huge!
