At last weekend's Belgian Grand Prix rumours of an extraordinary imminent round of F1 driver musical chairs swirled.

And this, the grapevine said could trigger several other moves, perhaps for as soon as the following round.

But this would be next to nothing, as for Motorsport Week I looked back to a season wherein no fewer than 46 drivers turned up in a race seat at some point. It may not be altogether surprising that this was tumultuous 1994.

I looked into the story and the various reasons for that year's flux. Here's the link: https://www.motorsportweek.com/news/id/19674
