Point taken about the actual speed of Gary Anderson's designs. I guess there was something very appealing though, about how he covered so much of the car, and got reasonably fast, innovative looking designs, on the low budgets. But as the sport advanced, it was more difficult for him to find his ideal role. At least, that's how it looks to me, but I'm just a fan on the outside at the end of the day!
Harvey Postlethwaite seemed to inspire a similar attitude at Tyrrel. He was willing to put front tyres on front and back in Hockenheim one year, to make the huge wing-like front suspension arms, and a single front-wing strut and other different things, that make the technical side of F1 visible to fans who don't have a technical background.
Of course then here's the question of speed!
