18:58 Love that picture, the cheeky "Wait till you see the 89" shirts, the hunger, it still felt .. human. Today it is still there, the hunger, the cheekiness maybe, but it's all so large scale, the business, the marketing, there's almost no humble beginnings anymore, spontaneity is now more of a risk to dissuade investors.

Very nice to see and hear a star Formula 1 engineer talk lucidly about some of the projects he put his mind to. Colin knew Peter’s worth.

I love the Jimmy Stewart mention & Ketteringham Hall ghost tale... There is something to be said even now, you just catch yourself at those old WW2 USAF aerodromes (Snetterton, Tibenham, Old Buckenham, Hethel etc.) & they still have the ability to send a shiver down your spine, they can be VERY eerie & spooky places, so much past history & activity to them & at Hethel in some of the converted WW2 buildings used for Lotus Cars production, a few workers had some real frights with an airman ghost...!

Another thing that active suspension would be back is beautiful suspension articulation. It would be so nice to see modern F1 car staying flat while the suspension articulates over a curb like in the 60s and early 70s

"... large amounts of downforce have not improved motor racing ...". How true. It is hard to think of anything good that has come out of it. But equally, it is almost impossible to uninvent something - once the idea is out there, it is.

Amazing, so after the end of Team Lotus in F1 did all that interactive suspension tech get ‘sold’ by Lotus Engineering to Williams?

It was not incompetent from FIA but politics. They did not want british or americans to win but did their darnest to get either French or Italian champions.

The current experiment with Ground Effect has been a failure. Cars are inconsistent and difficult to set up. "Bouncing" makes the cars bad for the drivers. The whole idea of Motorsports is man and machine working in harmony. GE is a dead end.

This implementation has definitely failed. Even the improvement in following distance and reduction of dirty air has disappeared, teams have just worked out ways of sending air sideways even with the current rules. But I notice that Indycar went with ground effects like a decade ago, and I haven't heard any of the same complaints there, although I don't follow the sport much any more. I just think ground effects could be great but this version of the rules has failed. It needs active suspension at least to fix the bouncing crap.

Active suspension could give porpoising the solution it needs to be controlled...

@alexeimscruz2893 possibly but it is still over emphasizing very narrow parameters (level and ride heights).
