You missed the secret sauce

Cuts to excessive regulations. Was watching a conspiracy theory on how germany hid all this gold and used it to save their economy after ww2.

No they didn't, simply they opened their market right up to competition, let the market go nuts. Oddly, those crazy Germans called it the social free market.

This led to Mercedes entering F1 by 1954 at the French GP where they ran 1-2 first race back.

Fangio though.

If the gov predicts 9% well automatically that's optimistic, be 12% or higher
