Ferrari 312b2 Introduced in the 1970 season, the 312B finally meant Ferrari's return to competitiveness after a number of bleak seasons. Fitted with a completely new flat-12 engine, the 312B scored four victories in its first season. After the first races of 1971 a slightly revised version was introduced. With a new car and a very talented new driver from the U.S., Mario Andretti, expectations were high. Andretti lived up to the expectations by winning the first race of the season, still with the 312B. The revisions carried through to create 312B2 unfortunately did not have the expected results. Most noticable changes were the sleeker nose and the in-board mounted rear springs and shock-absorbers. It proved equally quick, but a terrible reliability let the red racer down. Throughout the season, Ferrari entered three works drivers; Jacky Ickx, Clay Regazzoni and Mario Andretti. The drivers switched back and forth between the 312B and 312B2 and recorded some very good qualifying results, but rarely finished a race. In the Dutch Grand Prix, Jacky Ickx finished and scored the 312B2's only win of the season. #f1 #formula1 #ferrari #michaelschumacher #formulaone #racing #lamborghini #countach #alonso #keepfightingmichael #fernandoalonso #michael #f12017 #fia #scuderiaferrari #overtake #awesome #onboard #automovilismo #fwrrari312b #v6turbo #fiaf1 #f1game #formula1sport #fernando #codemasters #worldchampionship #schumi #vettel #hamilton https://www.instagram.com/p/B-uYNHqFQ_H/?igshid=1dc3cygcpk0p3
