Tatra 607 in 1950: you're right
F1: that's wrong.  I've another model name.
I know if I go in the net, I can find this car with the model name "F1" but I don't think that's the good name.
I locked for you Allan L 24 HOurs or 1 try

Well it's often just referred to as "monoposto" which is what it is (i.e. single seater) rather than a model name.
I'm sure I remember reading about it in Mackerle's book and he wrote of Formula 1 - however it would have been 2½ litre which is neither the 4½ litre for FI or the 2 litre for FII of the day so I agree that Formula I was wrong.
