Reason #1: There have been 5 different winning drivers and 5 different winning teams over the first 5 races of the season. Even the Williams F1 team have won a race this year, with their last victory taking place in 2004.

In 1990, a one-off custom motorcycle was created by David Kay as a tribute to Enzo Ferrari, the founding father of Ferrari. Apparently, Kay contacted Enzo’s son, Piero Ferrari, and asked for the Italian marque’s blessing. It was approved.
