Fully automatic gearboxes
I've just read on some other forums (old posts) that F1 ran fully automatic gearboxes one year. What year was that and was it successful? It was either a complete failure or a huge success if it lasted for one year surely :
Also, did F1 cars ever use a sequential gear shifter (i.e. sequential system but with a gear-stick, not a flappy-paddle). Looking at videos from 1991, McLaren used a H-box. In 1992, they caught up with Williams and implemented a semi-auto transmission which was used in conjunction with a flappy paddle. Did any teams ever use the sequential stick method or was it by-passed?Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam
