Revisiting the best cars from every decade in F1 history

As Formula 1 celebrates 75 years of its World Championship, attention turns to the sport's most iconic cars. Technical expert Mark Hughes highlights outstanding machines from each decade, with the legendary Alfa Romeo Alfetta taking centre stage. Designed initially for the pre-war voiturette class, the Alfetta truly shone post-war, dominating the inaugural Formula 1 seasons. It famously powered the sport's first two World Champions, Giuseppe Farina and Juan Manuel Fangio, to their titles in 1950 and 1951. Ironically, Enzo Ferrari, who had a hand in its creation during his time at Alfa Romeo, later found this very car to be a formidable rival when launching his own team.
