WOW! I never knew until now that Williams had actually planned to use CVT transmission in F1.
Obviously FIA with hard-on for banning things decided to ban them before they even got to test it on a race. Sure it’s “just” a CVT, but would’ve been interesting to see it used in an F1 car.
There’s also some other interesting cars on this vid that were never used on a race

CVT’s were used by DAF in F3 too, so it might’ve worked.
Is CVT that old invention? Was the car succesful?
