Ferrari 641
The Ferrari 641 was a Formula 1 racing car, the Scuderia Ferrari in 1990 started in the Formula 1 World Championship.
The Ferrari 641 was the logical development of the Ferrari 640, the still John Barnard had developed. Enrique Scalabroni and Steve Nichols were responsible for the work on the new race car. The vehicle had improved cleaner lines than its predecessor, and was one of many details. The semi-automatic gearbox, last year still the weak point of the 640 was completely revised. Since the two designers at the beginning of their work on the 641 already knew that Alain Prost at McLaren would move to the Scuderia, the soft style of driving Prost was greeted at work on the chassis. The only weak point of the 641 was the V12 engine, the first in its last stage of development similar performance values achieved by the V10 engine from Honda.
The Scuderia missed the 1990 World Champion title in both the Drivers 'and Constructors' World Championship in just barely. Alain Prost won with 641 five World Cup races, but lost the title by a collision at the start with Ayrton Senna at the penultimate race at Suzuka ( Grand Prix of Japan) to the Brazilian McLaren pilots. And although the second factory driver Nigel Mansell won another Grand Prix with the 641, and the Constructors' title went to McLaren.
