That is of course true, but this is from the period of maybe the most dangerous of F1 cars with regard to the forward position of the driver. I'm not much F1-rulebook-savvy, but I think that the rules soon after read that no part of the driver could be forward of the front-axle centerline.
No, 0478AM had just been badly crashed when this picture was taken (around 12/55..01/56). I'd say the front row shows 0484LM, 0592CM and 0538M in that order. The PF Coupe far back must be 0329AL. Best wishes, Kare
i think the Ghia Coupe in the back right has to be the 340 America (0150A), now owned by a friend of mine. great historic picture !

You are rigth, but may be this car was stronger than C2 and Gill may be still with us. The C2 was a killing car, do you remember Pironi? The driver was too near the front of the car! Fortunately to day carbon fibre seem to be enougth strong...hope they don't change too much this kind of cars! Also the ground effect (do you remember "minishirts"?) seems to me a dangerous way...the car is glued to the road...untill it is flying around! Best, Alessandro

Was the number 16 Ferrari sent out to "break up the opposition" ... bit like how Rubens Barichello used to protect Schumacher? Pete
I hope that some of you will get a chuckle out of these pix from 1971, showing the old wind tunnel and a few of the models which were tested there. I may have posted the pic of the engine/fan before, and of so forgive me. I've always wondered what became of that engine, and what it's S/N is.
