TIL in 1986 Minardi had both cars DNF in 14 out of 15 races

That’s some amazing consistency.

Oof. They were one off from a perfect record. Such a shame.

Also every race was won by a british manufacturer; Williams had 9 wins, McLaren had 4 wins, Lotus won 2 times, and Benetton won just 1 time.

Motori Moderni V6, you couldn’t hope for more

Suddenly Williams isn’t doing so badly, after all they are only few seconds behind Mercedes and would still crush every other Motorsport car, maybe not LMP1.

Actually I think until very recently Williams were the only team with no DNFs for this season. Their kit is reliable, it’s just reliably slow.
