   The Formula 1 eras show

   As Formula 1 gears up for a war break after the Japanese Grand Prix, there will be a pretty barren April ahead. So while things go on pause, Ben, Sandile and Dimitri dial things back with a look at the different eras of the sport. From the early beginnings back in the 1950, to the fresh faced youths of today’s races, there is much to unpack with them here.
