Ferrari 639

The 639 was a test car ahead of the 640.

Ferrari 126C4-M2

Development version of 1984 car, tested by Johnny Dumfries at Fiorano in March 1985. The follow-up 156-85's lines are clearly visible.

1 977 March-Cosworth 2-4-0: Six-wheeler with two rear axles that was created by Wayne Eckersley. Project abandoned because of difficulties to make the gearbox to work properly.

i don't mean in terms of points, he was properly behind on pace

most of the times

also had the short end of the stick when it came to reliabilitym that's true

[oblique dock]

Huh. That I don’t know.

[round swift]

David was more consistent I would say. And lucky he didn’t retire so early on in the season. I think his seventh or eighth race he retired from engine failure. Ferrari was dominating the season, but its close rival was Williams and McLaren. Ferrari just got the best out of the two good drivers.

And teams.

[oblique dock]

Well in 1980, they were.

[round swift]

Ya

1970s they were alright

I think until 1984 or something they started to declined

[oblique dock]

1985 was alright. Alboreto finished P2 to Prost in the WDC, same with Ferrari in the WCC

[round swift]

Yeah

1988 they won once 🤣

Mclaren 15 times

[oblique dock]

Well their victory was quite emotional, since it was their first win since Enzo’s death, as well as them winning on home soil

[round swift]

True that

[oblique dock]

In 1987, they won twice. Adelaide and Suzuka. Shame they had a handful of DNF’s, which led to them being 4th in the WCC for a second straight year

[round swift]

Yeah

1986 and 1987 were dominated by McLaren, Lotus, and Williams

Turbo era wasn’t that good for Ferrari

1983-1987

[oblique dock]

Oh. My bad

Well, to me, I saw 1981-1988 as the turbo era

[round swift]

1977-1982 for me was the ground era

And then 1983-1987 turbo era

1977-1982, and 2022 lol

Ground era

[past drift]

fair enough, to me the turbo era is 77-88

[sleek cargo]

1982 was tragic for Ferrari. They had speed. But they lost their drivers

Two crashes. One fatal, one career ending

[oblique dock]

Yeah. They won the WCC, but at a cost. But however, at least it saw Andretti return to the scuderia and Tambay’s first outing at Ferrari

[sleek cargo]

they could won a wdc also, if it wasn't for the German GP crash

[oblique dock]

It would have been interesting to see how the Scuderia would have performed if Villeneuve didn’t die and if Pironi never had that accident.

[sleek cargo]

it would've been a rivalry, more intense than Senna vs Prost. Gilles would've tried to beat Pironi at any cost (basically that's the reason he died in Belgium), and he claimed also that he has no problems of leaving Ferrari in 1983. About Pironi, he would defo won 1982, maybe even 1983. idk

[oblique dock]

If Gilles continued for 1983, I feel like Gilles would fit in with Renault better than Eddie Cheever did. In addition, Gilles and Prost could possibly give Renault the 1983 WCC

Monaco 1984, the most ridiculous race in F1 ever (after Imola 1994)

[late crag]

The race where everyone's car decided to fail on the last lap

[leaden shard]

Even Arnoux could win that race

[oblique dock]

Wasn’t that 1982?

[leaden shard]

Idk, but Monaco 1984 Senna and Prost were with problems

[oblique dock]

Yeah, it was 1982. Daly, Pironi, and De Cesaris all had problems, leaving Patrese to win

Also, Senna did recall that he wouldn’t have finished 2nd at monaco in 1984 since his suspension was damaged due to him going over some of the kerbs iirc

[round swift]

Why was it ridiculous

I think the 2021 Belgium is one of the most ridiculous races

[leaden shard]

Yeah as I said, Arnoux would win that race, cause Bellof would be DSQ and Prost could retire due to brake failure

[leaden shard]

Cause Balestre said to Ickx to stop the race, cause Prost would lost

They said the race was stopped due to heavy rain, but the rain was worst some minutes before, so...

[leaden shard]

almost same reason

[round swift]

I mean it was pretty rainy

[round swift]

Yeah but 1984 vs 2021

More aerodynamics

They are built to go through that type of stuff. Why do you think they have intermediate or wets?

I don’t think 1984 had that. Just slicks and wet slicks

[leaden shard]

yes yes i know

but

in monaco, there was a reason to stop the race

[round swift]

No buts no cuts no coconuts

[leaden shard]

and the reason was a driver

balestre and prost were real friends

[oblique dock]

I’m pretty sure the race was definitley stopped due to the conditions and the incidents that occurred on track because of it and not because of favoritism towards Prost by the president of the FIA

[leaden shard]

Of course

[round swift]

Prost was waving because he had brakes issues, and for senna suspension issues

[round swift]

Ickx called the race, and he was suspended from his race control duties for not consulting with the stewards over his decision before making it.

[oblique dock]

Didn’t know that

Even Ickx called it off, it must’ve been complete down pour of rain if it was that bad that he had to call the race around the slowest circuit of the year

Coincidentally the inevitable was Ickx and Bellof colliding at the 12H of Spa in 1985 killing Bellof. I think there is a video of it on YouTube of Ickx’s car.

Apparently David was using a foot operated clutch pedal during his time at McLaren. I don't know if that's true or not since I saw that statement on a Reddit post

89 senna should win

94 he could win too, cause damon hill with the same car almost won

he could stay at williams and maybe win in 96

and 97

[hardy briar]

[leaden shard]

?

[hardy briar]

Senna

[leaden shard]

what

[oblique dock]

Well he had more DNF’s compared to Prost despite having more wins. Prost had more points scoring positions than senna throughout the course of the season, so in a way, it was rather inevitable.

[leaden shard]

yea but im talking about that race

prost did a dirty move, ayrton continued, and then, dsq

[oblique dock]

Oh, yeah. Suzuka. Senna got a push start from the marshalls which was already illegal, followed by rejoining through the escape road. On the other hand, Senna couldn’t really do anything because he couldn’t just turn around and rejoin through the chicane.

[leaden shard]

well, he used the escape road, cause its a escape road... he didnt lost enough time being stuck there

senna should win that race

and prost should be dsq

like 97

if in 97 schumi was dsq, why in 89 prost wasnt too?

[oblique dock]

That’s quite bold to say

[past drift]

https://i.redd.it/6s8z8rqoogf51.jpg

[leaden shard]

if schumacher was in 97

watch that crash again and see, prost just turn into senna

[oblique dock]

https://youtu.be/jVh4oKqxtJo

This angle does say a lot about prost’s line

[leaden shard]

yes

it shows how he just turn into senna

[oblique dock]

I looked at Prost’s onboard footage on Lap 46. He turns in much later than he did on Lap 47.

however, another part of me suggests that maybe both are at fault. Prost turns in too early while Senna braked too late. But that’s just how I feel.

[leaden shard]

senna braked too late cause he was trying to overtake? "another part of me" well, you are a prost fanboy, or u hate Senna, cause you literally have a video that proves it

Every driver brakes too late to overtake someone

[oblique dock]

I don’t hate Senna at all. In fact, I like both Senna and Prost.

Sorry if my opinion on prost turning in early and senna braking late sounded stupid

[leaden shard]

its ok

some months ago i was saying that max verstappen is better than Alain Prost lol

This one is a very good one

Especially for the 1980

The 1981 Spanish Grand Prix or 1979 French Grand Prix has to be two of his top five drives for a whole of his Formula one career

Wonderful pictures!!! 🤩

[hardy briar]

Such an odd era of cars

[hardy briar]

That car is just pure beauty

[sleek cargo]

basically that moment when the most tragic rivalry started

[sleek cargo]

1981 Canadian GP

for some laps he raced on this, he didn't boxed, he didn't stopped, instead he was still racing

[hardy briar]

This logo

👌

So sad they got rid of it

[sleek cargo]

then the front wing fell, he raced for the rest of the race without front wing, finishing P3

[hardy briar]

Who needs aero when you have massive balls

[sleek cargo]

his never giving up ability is the best

[oblique dock]

How can we forget his maiden win at Canada 1978

[sleek cargo]

that too

@oblique dock did you know that the 1978 Ferrari Ferrari 312T3 had no ground effect and essentially beat every car with ground effect on the circuit

[sleek cargo]

also 1979 South African Gp deserves to be there

[past drift]

it didn't beat the BT46B

[round swift]

I’m talking about the 1978 Canadian race

Nelson Piquet came in 11th

[round swift]

I would say the 1979 South African was both a success for Ferraris as much as the drivers

The both qualified second and third and finished the race first and second

I would say that the 1979 United States Grand Prix was more impressed as Gilles Villenuve won for half a minute ahead of his teammate

And that gilles was first in the championship after that race

[past drift]

ah on that track

Villeneuve was the better driver in 79

but he was... himself

[oblique dock]

Damn.

And they finished 2nd in the wcc behind Lotus with their 79

Remarkable!

[round swift]

Ikr

🤩

[sleek cargo]

I don't think so

[elder radish]

.

[round swift]

Why not?

It was one of the most important races of the season

[past drift]

how so

[round swift]

South Africa, United States, and Italian GP were the most important races. It helped Ferrari and Jody secure dominance in the 1979 season.

The reliability and the first and second finishes including pole positions and fastest laps really helped them out

[placid bane]

ye

[past drift]

it was a Petronas badged Ferrari engine

[indigo sail]

a take i've seen someone saying of how Gilles is the greatest driver is how he won Monaco in a car that was nowhere near as good as others

when forgetting that the only reason why he won was cuz Alan Jones' blew up in the last few laps

[past drift]

ye he had a fuel issue or sth didn't he

[indigo sail]

I think he was running out of fuel, he pitted, and then he suffered a misfire

in a span of 4 laps

also

[past drift]

de Cesaris and Jack O'Melly?

[indigo sail]

Mario and De Cesaris yup

[opaque osprey]

rip de cesaris

[pastel ginkgo]

missed you guys 🥲

[pastel ginkgo]

and how do you think theyve done that

[short glade]

gilles

[indigo sail]

Cherry picking stat because as this is true because he won, that doesn't mean he was the fastest car

in that race itself Jean Pierre Jarrier and Alan Jones were holding a 1-2 place until latter half of the race where both of them had issues,

[past drift]

Jones had no ground effect then

did he

[indigo sail]

FW06?

no sure

[past drift]

also, that means that all wins earned by the T3 beat every wing car on the circuit

including those that are accountable to Michelin's tyres more than aero

[indigo sail]

True

weren't Michelin exclusive only to Ferrari and Renault until 81?

when goodyear left for some reason

[past drift]

ye basically

Michelin and their radial tyres arrived alongside Renault in 77

After the departure of Niki Lauda, Scuderia Ferrari began a new cycle in 1978. Enzo Ferrari appointed a new director of competition in the person of Marco Piccinini, formerly his representative with the FIA. Carlos Reutemann is promoted as first driver for good. He is associated with the young and fiery Quebecer Gilles Villeneuve who still has everything to prove. Mauro Forghieri designed a new car but it will only appear in Kyalami. In the meantime, the 312 T2 is back in service. But the main novelty is the partnership with Michelin for the supply of tires. Already engaged with Renault, which will return a little later in the season, the Clermont-based company is setting out to conquer F1 with its radial tyres and intends to reach success very quickly thanks to this alliance with Ferrari.

ye it seems like it was still Ferrari and Renault only for 78 79 and 80

[round swift]

That comes to show that you should never give up

Even if you’re in second, third, fourth, etc

[indigo sail]

..yeah?

because this is a period of time where reliability wasn't as good as modern day

and things like this would happen way more often?

[round swift]

Of course dude that’s why I’m saying that

More reliability issues rather than driver issues

I don’t even think that they had carbon fibre in 1980

Lmao

Safety wasn’t a priority. It was about winning races. Why do you think a lot of great drivers have died during the 70s 80s and mostly 90s

[short glade]

carbon fiber cockpits came in 81 with the mclaren mp4-1

[round swift]

Yeah so no carbon fibre in 1980

[past drift]

They probably had some carbon fibre bits here and there

[short glade]

yea but not an actual cockpit

mostly aluminum

[past drift]

That wasn't the question

It was just carbon fibre

[round swift]

I read somewhere that the wings were carbon fibre in the 1977 wolf

Or something but I could be wrong

[oblique dock]

https://youtu.be/MIfxTnTJ7ts

[meager pewter]

It was the brakes

[round swift]

Maybe the WR2 had it

Let me see

[meager pewter]

Unless it's just the fact that Brembo came in in 1975

[round swift]

Yeah im not seeing any carbon fibre disks for the wolf WR2 either

[meager pewter]

From Motorsport.com they say they've been used since the late-70's

Why're you specifically referencing Wolf's?

[round swift]

Because I said That I thought that wolf 1977 had a carbon fibre wing and you said it was the brakes

“Brabham started to use the material in 1976, but it would not reach maturity until the 80s.”

Interesting

Gordon Murray's Brabham BT45 was the first F1 car to use carbon brakes in a grand prix at the Nürburgring in 1976

Cool

[meager pewter]

I was thinking either McLaren or Brabham...

Glad you found the sauce

[hardy briar]

What are the little bottles in the front? Brake fluids and what not? I noticed them on my lotus 79 and was curious what they were. (Not really visible in this picture tho)

[sleek cargo]

do you know he faked his birth? When he joined F1, he was 27, he thought the age might be a barrier for his progress in his racing career, so he changed up birthday from 18th of January 1950 to 18th of January 1952

[round swift]

Yup

[round swift]

Villeneuve often claimed to have been born in 1952. By the time he got his break in Formula One, he was already 27 years old and took two years off his age to avoid being considered too old to make it at the highest level of motorsport.

[round swift]

Not really sure

In my opinion, if there is going to be a chicane at Eau Rouge, it might as well be a quick chicane possibly like the Variante Alta at Imola

That way, it doesn’t take away from the factor of speed that Eau Rouge normally has
