Here's a curious part, from BAR, a final drive gear. But, it looks like a spool (locked) differential.
Rare, but spools were used in #F1 back in the day, mainly at tracks like Monza, were a differential wasn't needed.

Back in 1983, before active & FRIC suspension, Ligier #F1 tested a Citroรซn hydraulic suspension.
You can see the pressure vessel on the top of the chassis.
I've never found any other details on it (?). As it was soon dropped for a conventional set-up. #F1Tech #F1retro

New from @STEMRacingHQ (#F1 in schools). It's effectively the complete competition in a box
Each team gets to design & race their car
Ideal as a stem event at a school or a corporate day, get your staff together race, then loan it to local schools?

Jump forward a few years, and there's this late 90s Jordan #F1 steering wheel, c1998 1999.
My one is a resin copy, cast from the original moulds.
At 280mm wide & 200mm deep. The original was made in carbon fibre.

Jordan 191 #F1, the car still used a 'conventional' steering wheel. Made by MOMO, it started as a semi circular design and later had the top edge removed to see the dash better.
Here's my wooden factory show car version.
260mm wide 220mm tall and ~25mm grips.

The Jordan 191, an iconic #F1 car from 1991.
It still ran a H-pattern gear lever, here's my no4 from the original production run.
Its tiny and light, barely fits in your hand, at just 180mm long and 80g.
For lightness the head is hollow and capped off.

In Japan it became obvious that teams are using a rear wing exhaust trick, the reverse of Ferrari's, to gain downforce in the braking area.
As the driver closes SLM & Lifts Off, is the best time to recover energy as it's high speed/downforce.
