The minimum time required for producing a racing car at that time was approximately 18 months. They would only have 8 months before the Tripoli Grand Prix and the situation looked hopeless. Auto Union, also began initial studies on a new 1.5 liter car. Alfred Neubauer, in his biography relates to what happened next: I was extremely pleased with the trial. "Good Heavens, man, you look as if you had just lost something", I said. "I'm afraid I have," he replied with a wry grin. The new car was designated the type W165 which was except for its engine, a scaled down W165 which itself was derived from their very succesful W154. Two cars would race at Tripoli and finish one-two with Lang leading Caracciola before the stunned Italian crowd.

The Bugatti Page Fury on the track as Schumacher 'cheats' Others were more forthcoming as the stewards began an investigation into the incident. Renault boss Flavio Briatore was furious, saying: "It was unbelievable. This is Monaco, this is Ferrari, so nothing will be done. It's a disgrace. "If it was his first race it might be called a mistake but it was not a mistake and it was not the first race. There was even greater outrage from former world champion Keke Rosberg who said: "He should resign from the Grand Prix Drivers Association and never mention the word safety again. The session had been incident-free apart from Schumacher's team-mate, Felipe Massa, losing control emerging from Casino Square and damaging the car so that he will start the race from the back of the grid. With qualifying almost over, Schumacher approached Rascasse with his team presumably telling him that Alonso, who was behind him, was clocking the kind of time that would put him on pole, a crucial place to be on a circuit where overtaking is almost impossible.

There was little resemblance between the front-engined Ferrari 246 Dino that won the 1960 Monza Grand Prix and the winged and sponsored Formula 1 cars used in 1969. Colin Chapman's Lotus was frequently at the source of these revolutions. After just five years the regulations were changed once more with the displacement hiked to three litres. Not surprisingly Chapman was on the look out for a new engine for 1967, but he struggled to find one. Dubbed the DFV (Double Four Valve), the new engine was completely cast from aluminium in the Cosworth factory. The car itself was an evolution of the 43 with the monocoque chassis housing three fuel cells. Unfortunately, the Cosworth engined Lotus 49 was not ready in time for the start of the 1967 season and only made its first appearance in June of that year at Zandvoort. Chapman had even more up his sleeve and at the very next race introduced the Lotus 49B.
