F-1 - Whatever happened to these?

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

You mean the 6 wheels?
Banned.
Williams F1 engineering was developing a 6 wheeled car with 2 front, 4 rear that got rid of the huge barn door rear tires. Significantly faster, but banned just in the nick of time. Just like the CVT transmission Williams developed that could handle 750 Hp. Banned right before it could race.
Thank god the F1 rule makers ban these sorts of things so that the "most technologically advanced racing series in the world" has NO technical relevance or benefit to the everyday world!
