Williams started as a privateer running a year old car manufactured by others
Ronni Peterson, John Watson and many others had their first drives in privateer teams
It was only way to make up grids until late 60’s when you could buy DFV’s
And it allowed the small constructors to build cars
Suggest the problem these days is the complexity of the cars
In the old days it was five mechanics and a few extras
Not the army involved as now
