Taken from Motor Sport, November 2023, The F1 cars that could have been: Aston Martin DBR4 & Ferguson P99

Somewhere in a parallel universe tractor maker Ferguson is held in the same esteem as those other tractor constructors Lamborghini and Porsche. And maybe in that world another tractor builder, Aston Martin owner David Brown, is a Formula 1 champion with a luckless Le Mans squad.

Because in our universe it seems F1 simply doesn’t want tractor makers to succeed.
