Newsletter 575: A private FerrariJuly 14, 2023
We investigated a little, and that's how we discovered that there was an agreement to use the Ferrari 312T in a private team, the Everest team, which takes its name from the sponsor, one of the largest rubber companies in Italy. What a surprise! We had seen cases of private Lotus, Williams and BRMs, racing even in local championships like Formula Aurora, but we had no idea of this adventure of a private team racing a Ferrari in such recent times! To a greater surprise, some Giancarlo Minardi was involved in the project, the same Minardi who later founded his own F1 team.
The driver of that Ferrari was a young Italian named Giancarlo Martini, and (this world is full of surprises!) his nephew, Pierluigi Martini, ended up racing at Minardi when it was fitted with Ferrari engines, obtaining the best results of Scuderia Minardi in F1 history, two fourth places in 1991.
And another piece of information that we did not know: in the collaboration agreement between Ferrari and the Everest team included the supply of engines for contestants in the Formula 2, the prelude to F1... so, Ferrari was also in F2 as an engine supplier? Perhaps not much is known about this part because the results were quite discreet, although it did win a round in the Misano race in 1977.
Just to be able to tell the story to everyone who looks at the model, the boss of SpotModel has directly decided to keep two sets of decals for himself... :D
