Ferrari F1-87

The Ferrari F1/87, competing in the 1987 Formula One season, was a remarkable racing car driven by Michele Alboreto and Gerhard Berger. Designed primarily by Gustav Brunner, with input from the team's new Technical Director, John Barnard, the F1/87 was a significant improvement over its predecessor, the F1/86. It featured a sleeker design, a six-speed gearbox, and an innovative 90° 1.5-liter turbocharged V6 engine, the Tipo 033. Initially, the car showed promise but faced understeer issues. However, improvements, including a new rear wing, made it highly competitive, with Berger achieving two victories at the Japanese and Australian Grands Prix and three pole positions. The car's performance, particularly in the latter part of the season, positioned Ferrari as a top contender for the 1988 championship. The following year, the car was updated to the F1/87/88C, adapting to new regulations, and continued to perform well, securing a pole position at the British Grand Prix and a victory at the Italian Grand Prix​​​​.
