#FunFact The last 6 wheeled F1 car, the Williams FW08B

Williams tried to make a 6 wheeled F1 car just like Tyrrell with the P34, the FW08B however had 2 wheels at the front and the 4 at the back. The car was driven by the 4 rear wheels.

The car was developed using the Williams FW07D which was another 6 wheeled car that Williams had built. Unfortunately the FW08B was never able to race as people thought that it would cause chaos during pit stops and drive up costs, the FIA also limited the number of wheels a car could have and also stated that the car could only have 2 driven wheels.
