Description of the Real Model
The Ferrari F310 was specifically developed for the 1996 Formula 1 season, marking Michael Schumacher's arrival at Ferrari after his successes with Benetton. This revolutionary single-seater incorporated numerous technical innovations, including a sophisticated suspension system and reworked aerodynamics to comply with new FIA regulations.
