In the 80's though there were enough teams for some to fail to get through pre-qualifying on the Friday, let alone make it to Sunday!
Unbelievably Minardi did well enough in their first few seasons to even be challenging for pole!
Anyone else remember Leyton House, Footwork or Andrea Moda?

Minardi were ace....or should I say PierLuigi Martini was ace. Getting that Minardi near poles and wins took real skill.
Leyton house march, I can always remember Mauricio Gugelemin launching it on to Mansells Ferrari at the start of the french GP in '89.

Andrea Moda were just rubbish.
I always liked the Onyx team and the Simtek, now that was a sexy looking F1 car.
