Letters from readers, March 1980
Historic Grand Prix Cars Sir, While concocting a letter in answer to the feature on Historic Racing in the December issue of Motor Sport, further articles, letters, telephone calls and "buttonholings"…
THE “OH, DEAR-!” DEPARTMENT
Although I was not aware of the fact it seems that I was suffering from mental aberration at the German G.P. I described the gearchange linkage on the new F.1 Ferrari gearbox as being like that of the F.2 car, with the transverse rocking lever behind the driving seat. On the 1″.i car the system is the same but the rocking lever is at the back of the engine, not in front.
Also, I said that Denis [(ohne was not in the G.P.D.A. with “Bonnier and his lot “; this was completely wrong as the G.P.D.A. invited Hulme to join them last year. It was someone else and another lot that I was confused with.—D. S. j.
