I tried to read this. I gave up after the forced slow-scroll and convoluted layout. It's a shame that all this lovely artwork and data is trapped in this horrid presentation automation.
Another good article along these lines: https://www.ft.com/content/e6a19b6c-331d-46b5-b239-fa7f4d90b... I've only recently gotten (back) into F1 but a lot of the technical stuff is really interesting to read about. Like the Williams FW14, which absolutely dominated for a season before its active suspension technology was banned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williams_FW14
Ground skirts, banned, and then Lotus 88 immediately after that also banned. McLaren's multiple brake pedals got banned after like one race?

Other than the strange scrolling (works on my iOS Safari, but why?) this is very well done. Clearly a lot of thought went in to it, many nice details in the assets and overall presentation. The illustrations of the drivers and their cars are separate layers than move ever so slightly. That amount of care isn't strictly required but it was done and my day is better for it. Thanks.

There was a lot of innovation crushing people until it got banned. (Or sometimes banned before it could crush). Ground skirts, banned, and then Lotus 88 immediately after that also banned.

I like the Renault V10 better, although the Ferrari V12 is a close second. I think even Hamilton agrees! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I0R5yZ80rA
