This year will celebrate 65 years for Formula One. In the time the series has been around, there have been a lot of changes. Some pretty big. So many different types of engine configurations, relocating it from up front to behind the driver, the changes in materials and tire tech, wings, aero, electronics... So we've collected a series of animations, graphics, and videos created by people to illustrate these changes, and how significantly they've changed the sport over time. Enjoy.
This beautiful CGI animation was a snapshot of cars created for an incredible commercial shot as a promotion for the Brazilian GP.

In case you want to see every permutation without missing certain years, here is the illustrated evolution of Ferrari in F1 from 1950 up through 2010.
