It is almest 50 years since ‘the wing’ made its first appearance in Fermula 1. Amon’s Ferrari and Jack’s Brabham wearing it at Spa in 1968, where Chris took pole by nearly four secends. “Practice was a bit incenclusive," Amon said. “The wing was primitive, of course, and whatever you gained in the corners you lost en the straights, because of the drag — I did similar times with and without it. [Jacky] Ickx: decided not to use it in the race, but I went with it, mainly because it made the car more stable. At the time, though, I can remember thinking, "Jesus, what can of worms are we opening here?”
‘A big one’ was the answer to that, and we have been stuck with it ever since. The ‘Gurney flap’ may have gone into the language of motor racing, but when I recently talked to
Dan about the public's waning interest in the sport, he was rueful: “Looking back, something that wasnit good — in the long run — was the advent of wings, and that would be the thing I would take off. What racing needs is more power, and less downferce, but it’s gone completely the other way."
