History

Historical Context

In 1974 Mauro Forghieri began redesigning Ferrari’s 312B3, creating the 312T series with a transverse gearbox and a 3-litre V12 that produced about 510 bhp. The 312T2 debuted in March 1976 and helped Ferrari win 27 races and two Constructors’ titles. Today the SF-26 power unit faces a similar straight-line deficit, prompting Fred Vasseur’s chassis tweaks and Charles Leclerc’s 2026 contract extension.
