Things you miss from days gone by.

I miss Tyrrell. Every year, launch season was a blast because you never knew what you'd get. From six wheels, to raised noses, to the x-wing. Some of it was as ugly as a mother-in-law with an avocado facial, but at least they were willing to innovate.

Yeah definitely.

That airbox used by the Tyrrell-descended Mercedes team last year is the sort of thing that they might have tried in today's heavily-restricted F1, so maybe a bit of the old DNA is still there...

Apart from the fact there's probably no '97/98 Tyrrell staff left there since most of them left or were gotten rid of by BAR straight after the takeover, of course.

Yeah. They all moved over to HP's stillborn Honda project didn't they?

Those are the great little teams from the late 70s to early 2000s that were all very lovable, but that are all sadly gone now. They all had varying degrees of success, and most had a great warmth about them. I wish a few were still in the sport, but even so they provided some great memories and superb colour schemes as well (at points).

I still like the 2011 teams of course, but there was something special about those in the list.
