What happened to the Ferrari F1 in 1980?
Ferrari, a name synonymous with success, hit rock bottom in 1980. The Scuderia scored just 8 points all season, finishing 10th in the Constructors’ Championship. For a team that had regularly graced the top step of the podium, this was uncharted. Michele Alboreto (Italian pronunciation: [miˈkɛːle alboˈreːto]; 23 December 1956 – 25 April 2001) was an Italian racing driver, who competed in Formula One from 1981 to 1994. Alboreto was runner-up in the Formula One World Drivers’ Championship in 1985 with Ferrari, and won five Grands Prix across 14 seasons.The Ferrari F1/86 was the car with which Scuderia Ferrari competed in the 1986 Formula One World Championship. The car was designed by Harvey Postlethwaite, who had also designed its predecessor, the 156/85. It was driven by Italian Michele Alboreto and Swede Stefan Johansson.
