I saw my first F1 car live at 18 , my first GP at 19, last saw a modern F1 car on track at 61 and was 33-37 in my favourite era in late 80s .



F1 was essentially Formula DFV when I started , and the emphasis was on grip, not power , The turbo era changed all that , and also introduced a much more diverse soundtrack , and that trend happily continued into 89/90 and the return of NA engines .



I knew the writing was on the wall when I realised that every single one of those daft little 2.4 V8s sounded exactly the same
