# Ferrari F310 No. 1 Michael Schumacher Pole Position 2nd San Marino GP 1996 with Driver GP Replicas 1:18

> Schumacher's pole-winning Ferrari F310 at 1:18 by GP Replicas with a driver figure included — a precise record of his landmark 1996 Imola performance.

The 1996 San Marino Grand Prix, held on 5 May at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, was Round 4 of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. It was just Schumacher's fourth race in Scuderia Ferrari colours, and he arrived as defending World Drivers' Champion, carrying race number 1 onto the Maranello cars for the only time in history. His pole position lap put him ahead of Damon Hill's Williams FW18 on the front row, and the combination of number 1 and prancing horse on a single chassis has not been repeated since.

## The Ferrari F310 — John Barnard's High-Nose Contender

Designed by John Barnard at Ferrari's UK design office, the F310 was Ferrari's first purpose-built car for Schumacher and introduced a distinctive high-nose philosophy to the Scuderia's Formula 1 programme. Power came from the Ferrari Tipo 044, a naturally aspirated V10 unit developed to compete in the new 1996 technical regulations. The car was numbered 1 for Schumacher and 2 for team-mate Eddie Irvine across the full season.

## Imola 1996 — Pole, a Red Livery and a Number That Stood Alone

Schumacher's F310 ran in the classic Scuderia Ferrari red with Shell and Asprey branding, carrying number 1 as was his right as the 1995 champion. At Imola he qualified fastest, led the early stages of the race and ultimately crossed the line second, with Damon Hill taking victory for Williams. The season as a whole yielded three wins but persistent reliability problems; the San Marino event remains one of the F310's most complete qualifying performances.

## GP Replicas at 1:18

This 1:18 scale model is produced by GP Replicas, a maker recognised within the Formula 1 collecting community for fine livery reproduction and detailed surface work. The model includes a driver figure, adding cockpit presence and diorama potential.

## In the Display Cabinet — Context and Companions

At 1:18, the F310 stands out on any shelf dedicated to the Schumacher Ferrari era. Natural companions include the Ferrari F300 No. 3 from 1998, which represents the championship breakthrough that the F310 pointed toward, and the Benetton B195 No. 1 from 1995, the car with which Schumacher arrived at Ferrari. The 1996 San Marino livery — number 1, Asprey badging, early-season specification — is distinct from later 1996 race configurations and stands as a self-contained record of a specific moment in Ferrari's modern history.
