How did the pinnacle of motorsport begin? What did the first World Championship look like in terms of the cars, the calendar and the Constructors? Who were the sport's biggest superstars in the early decades? What have been the biggest technological advances? How has safety improved over time? And which rivalries continue to define the sport today? Alex takes us through the defining moments of each era, how 'Formula 1' transformed into the spectacle it is today and what we can expect in the future. And Damon talks about his life in 'Formula 1' - including watching his World Champion father Graham as a child to following in his footsteps by winning the title in '96, his epic rivalry with Michael Schumacher and being teammates with the legendary Ayrton Senna - and how the sport is so different now to when he was racing.
