The Ferrari F310 #1 gave Michael Schumacher pole position at the 1996 San Marino Grand Prix at Imola, with a superb 1:26.890 lap that put him 0.215 seconds ahead of Damon Hill’s Williams-Renault. Schumacher, already a two-time World Champion, was in his first season with Ferrari and was beginning the process of rebuilding the Scuderia into a championship contender. The F310 was historically significant as Ferrari’s first Formula 1 car to use a 3.0-liter V10, replacing the legendary V12, with the Type 046 engine providing an excellent balance between power and fuel efficiency. The #1 was particularly impressive at Imola because Schumacher converted the F310’s qualifying speed into pole despite Williams being the dominant force in 1996; he ultimately finished 2nd in the race, only 16.460 seconds behind Damon Hill.
