The four-wheel drive Ferguson P99 took part in its only world championship grand prix 64 years today at Aintree, proving its pace in the hands of Stirling Moss despite being disqualified over a technicality. Along wth the Aston Martin DBR4, it was one of two 1950s grand prix legends that never were.
Somewhere in a parallel universe tractor maker Ferguson is held in the same esteem as those other tractor constructors Lamborghini and Porsche. And maybe in that world another tractor builder, Aston Martin owner David Brown, is a Formula 1 champion with a luckless Le Mans squad.
Because in our universe it seems F1 simply doesn't want tractor makers to succeed.
