"
The F310 was the car of Michael Schumacher's debut in Ferrari. The reduction of the displacement from 3500 to 3000cc imposed by the regulations forced Ferrari like all the other teams to review the engine. John Barnard designed a single-seater with revolutionary lines, also making a new gearbox. The balance of the season was positive, with three victories for Schumacher (Spain, Belgium, Italy) and third place in the drivers' standings, won by Damon Hill with Williams-Renault. Ferrari finished second in the manufacturers' championship.

Ferrari F310 / F310 B
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
Ferrari F310
, and its evolution, the
F310B
, were the
Formula One
racing cars with which the
Ferrari
team competed in the
1996
and
1997
seasons. It was driven in both years by
Michael Schumacher
and
Eddie Irvine
.
This was the first Ferrari Formula One car to run on
Shell
fuel since the 1970s.
F310
The F310 proved to be a front-running car, but without the outright pace or superb reliability which led to the
Williams FW18s
dominating 1996. Schumacher was able to win three Grands Prix, but the F310's shortcomings were shown by Irvine's run of eight consecutive retirements, most of them mechanical, as well as three straight double retirements. Schumacher was realistic about his aims for the season, saying that he hoped to win a few races before challenging for the title in 1997. Development also proved troublesome, with the cars having to use the
1995
car's parts early in the season whilst structural problems were cured.
This car was notable as being the first Ferrari F1 car to use the then more conventional
V10 engine
format, because a V10 engine offered the best compromise between power and fuel efficiency; the V12 was powerful but thirsty, and vice versa for a V8. The name F310 refers to the engine type, a
3
litre,
10
cylinder (
V10
) - a nomenclature consistent with that used for Ferrari's F1 cars from 1966 to 1980 (the
312
,
312B
and
312T
), and similar to that used for the 2006
Ferrari 248
. The engine was also called the
310
. It was engineered by former Honda technician
Osamu Goto
.
Initially, the F310 was the only car in the 1996 field to have a low nose section, with the other teams having all switched to the more aerodynamically efficient high nose which was first seen on the
1990
Tyrrell 019
. The high cockpit sides were meant to aid cooling and aerodynamics but in fact had the opposite effect. From the start, however, chief designer
John Barnard
had announced his intentions to design a high nose for the car, saying that the F310 would be an ongoing project with the ultimate goal to win the world championship. The high nose was eventually adopted permanently from the
Canadian Grand Prix
onwards. The F310 was the first F1 car to feature the dashboard gauges mounted to the steering wheel. In an interview in 2012, Irvine said he did not have fond memories of the F310, calling it "an awful car", a "piece of junk", and "almost undriveable", as did John Barnard, who admitted that the car "wasn't very good". Schumacher himself, reflecting many years later on the F310, referred to it as "a parachute."
F310B
With the hiring of
Rory Byrne
and
Ross Brawn
to replace Barnard (who left mid-season in 1997 after Jean Todt decided the entire team including the design offices had to go back to Italy; and with Barnard not wanting to relocate to Italy because of personal reasons, Ferrari sold him the British-based Ferrari design offices, Ferrari Design and Development); part of the dream-team that would give Ferrari six straight Constructors' Championships from
1999
to
2004
, they used the F310 as a base for the F310B, improving its shape and mechanicals, making a 5 time winning car in the process.
The F310B was better performing and much more reliable than its predecessor but suffered stability issues at the front of the car. A new front wing assembly introduced shortly after Brawn and Byrne joined the team improved the package.
Regardless, double-champion Michael Schumacher held truth on his 1995 promise that "in 1996 we will win three grands prix, then in 1997 we will challenge for the championship" by taking the challenge to the
last round
. He was, however, unable to hold off a storming drive by title challenger
Jacques Villeneuve
; a botched attempt by Schumacher at defending his position ended up with him in the gravel, retired, and eventually disqualified from the 1997 season results. The team nonetheless retained their constructors' points.
In total, the F310 and F310B won eight Grands Prix, were on the podium 22 times, and achieved 7 pole positions and 172 points.

Michael Schumacher

;
German:
[ˈmɪçaːʔeːl ˈʃuːmaxɐ]
(

)
; born 3 January 1969) is a German
former racing driver
who competed in
Formula One
for
Jordan
,
Benetton
,
Ferrari
, and
Mercedes
. Schumacher has a joint-record seven
World Drivers' Championship titles
(tied with
Lewis Hamilton
) and, at the time of his retirement from the sport in 2012, he held the records for the most
wins
(91),
pole positions
(68), and
podium finishes
(155)—which have since been broken by Hamilton—while he maintains the record for the
most fastest laps
(77), among others.
After beginning his racing career in
karting
, Schumacher enjoyed success in several junior single-seater series. After a one-off Formula One appearance with Jordan at the
1991 Belgian Grand Prix
, Schumacher was signed by Benetton for the rest of the
1991
season. He won his first and second drivers' titles consecutively in
1994
and
1995
. Schumacher moved to the struggling
Ferrari
team in
1996
. During his first years at the team, Schumacher lost out on the title in the final race of the season in
1997
and
1998
and suffered a broken leg from a brake failure in
1999
. He and Ferrari won five consecutive titles from
2000
to
2004
, including unprecedented sixth and seventh titles, breaking several records. After finishing third in
2005
and second in
2006
, Schumacher retired from the sport, although he later made a brief return with Mercedes from
2010
to
2012
.
Schumacher was noted for pushing his car to the very limit for sustained periods during races, a pioneering fitness regimen and ability to galvanise teams around him. He and his younger brother
Ralf
are the only siblings to win races in Formula One and the first siblings to finish first and second in the same race, a feat they repeated in four subsequent races. Over his career, Schumacher was involved in several controversial racing incidents. Twice, he was involved in collisions in the final race of a season that decided the title, first with
Damon Hill
at the
1994 Australian Grand Prix
and later with
Jacques Villeneuve
at the
1997 European Grand Prix
.
An ambassador for
UNESCO
, Schumacher has been involved in humanitarian projects and has donated tens of millions of dollars to charity.
In December 2013, Schumacher suffered a severe brain injury in a skiing accident. He was placed in a
medically induced coma
until June 2014. He left the hospital in
Grenoble
for further rehabilitation at the
Lausanne University Hospital
, before being relocated to his home to receive medical treatment and rehabilitation privately in September 2014.
