Pretty much every single facet of Formula 1 today is unrecognisable versus the shape of grand prix racing at the start of the championship's life – just imagine the idea of Juan Manuel Fangio and Giuseppe Farina sat side-by-side upon a sofa playing the usual social media-friendly parlour games, or Maurice Trintignant courting backlash for an ill-advised and hastily deleted Instagram story. It seems completely incongruous with F1 then, but it's a key part of F1 now.
Thankfully, the core of the championship remains: build the best car with the materials available, race, and whoever finishes at the front by the end of the requisite distance wins.
