Formula One Features — March 1997

Winter testing on the latest batch of Formula 1 cars, fitted with the new-for-1997 rear impact absorbing structures, threw up an interesting vibration problem.

Alain Prost is the most successful Grand Prix driver of all time. He won 51 of the 199 Grands Prix which he contested.

You could call him the "Comeback Kid" if he was a bit younger, but at 33 years of age (this week) Italian racer Nicola Larini is a bit too old for that. He has been involved in Formula 1 racing for the last 10 years but this year has popped up with the Sauber Petronas team and he looks like having his best season to date.
