This is one of those ones that randomly pops up in discussion. Who was the first to do this? Or this? When did this start happening? And so on.

So I thought it would make a good video. We hear about transverse gearboxes and such but why pick them? What advantages did they have? And what about all this seemless shift stuff?

So with that said, I went through the history books to look at how F1 gearboxes went from similar to the stuff you'd find in a road car to being ultra advanced mechanical beasts that can change gear almost instantly.

Enjoy! And remember to like and subscribe for more!
