Ferrari 312B: Where the Revolution Begins Page #3

---

I wash my hands, and

have a look as well, come on.

There must be one

that goes with the wire.

This one's been burnt by the exhaust.

Alright.

The driver who feeds on solitude

needs an ally.

An ally outside of the track.

You need reassurance

that someone is there for you.

Stefano is the most important person

there is.

The driver must have confidence.

You do something quickly

because the engineer is telling you

that you're three minutes behind and only

got three laps left. All of this in a hurry.

But the driver must trust you.

And in order to earn the driver's trust

you can never, never get it wrong.

The engine was inside the car.

I think it gets hot in the back.

They say that

even Regazzoni felt hot.

Of course, the water is at 212 F!

When you look at the design

it is extreme

because in the end they used up

all the space around the man

that is, they surrounded the man

with fuel tanks, engines, mechanics.

Mauro told me that they put

the fuel inside

and then used the compressor to send it

to the tanks under pressure

to fill that one and this one over here

and finally closed them

with the fuel coming out.

Otherwise it would spill.

- Yes.

Damn!

It took so much fuel!

Who knows how the driver must have felt!

I think Paolo Barilla wants to

look after this car

a bit like his father,

who bought works of art

and put them in a place

for everyone to see.

Of those cars

they only made four original ones.

They were very demanding cars

for us as well as Ferrari back then.

Last time I said I would be a lot happier

if the gearbox was closed.

The gearbox... it's closed now.

I cut some sections...

and after that... we'll wait for

the flywheel and put it in the car.

If there weren't all these drawbacks

if the input shaft was fine,

the flywheel...

I would have already finished the car.

Now I am no longer calm

otherwise I wouldn't have been here

at Easter or yesterday. What do you say?

Because the race is a risk

for the car.

Oh well, it was built to race,

yes,but"

That's that!

We brought it back as it was

originally, all bolts restored,

the washers...

I could have put it in all new.

The 312B, I've seen it come

into the world.

Because it came to us

to what was then called

the Chassis Department

the chassis, the body arrived.

What was then called the chassis,

now the body.

We mounted the four groups

of suspensions

and there was work to be done.

I experienced the first time

it was put on the track.

The sound of the exhaust was pure music.

Don't lose that cap!

I just want to see if it fits!

Paolo's first go-kart was

a gift from my mother

with which he eventually entered

his first few races.
