Friday's Ferrari

This is one of the cars in the Ferrari display at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1997.
It's the 1990 Ferrari 641/2, chassis #121, that was driven  that season by Alain Prost. It was developed by a team led by Steve Nichols from the previous season's Ferrari 640 that had been designed by John Barnard, and has a 3,498cc V12 engine. Alain Prost won 5 of the 16 races to finish in second place behind Ayrton Senna in the World Drivers' Championship, and his team mate Nigel Mansell won just one race to finish in fifth place. Ferrari ended up in second place in the World Constructors' Championship behind the McLaren-Honda team.
