Ferrari 412 T1

The Ferrari 412 T1 was the Formula One car with which Scuderia Ferrari competed in the 1994 World Championship. John Barnard designed it and Gustav Brunner developed it. It was a straightforward design powered by a 3.5 litre V12 engine; in its name the 4 stood for four valves per cylinder, the 12 for the number of cylinders and the T for the transverse gearbox, which had six forward gears and one reverse. A new engine, the Tipo 043, debuted in qualifying for the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix and first raced at Hockenheim. The car was upgraded throughout the season, so many changes were made that the later cars were called the 412 T1B. Gerhard Berger and Jean Alesi took podiums and pole positions, and Berger won the 1994 German Grand Prix, which returned Ferrari to Grand Prix success. The 412 T2 followed for 1995.
