Just wondered if anyone could help, Im currently in the process of a uni project where i have to talk about the innovation and changes to a product or item. I have decided to talk about the changes in formula 1 car styling and performance over the years.
I have google loads, but cannot find many sites that have all the major changes?.....any help would be much appreaciated

Cheers pal , i have already been on that site and saved the info. There are a few sites out there, but some are just a bit too technical, i am after the main changes if you get me.

Yer, i was thinking about doing that, as there are so many changes over the years. At the moment i am focusing just on the design/styling of them, focusing on the need for more aerodynamics etc.
I think i may have some old f1 books back at home too, so will dig them out when back from uni. Cheers for your comments though
