The Ferrari F310 occupies a precise and consequential position in the Scuderia's history: it was the car that brought Michael Schumacher to Maranello for the first time, and it did so under the weight of the number 1, carried over from his 1995 World Championship with Benetton. GP Replicas renders the car in 1:18, capturing the Rosso Corsa and livery that defined the season's visual identity.
Ferrari's Return to the V10 Formula
The F310 represented Ferrari's return to V10 power after years of V12 engines — its name encoding Ferrari (F), three litres, and ten cylinders. Designed by John Barnard at Ferrari Design & Development in Guildford, it introduced a high-nose concept and a semi-automatic 7-speed gearbox. The F310 was a technically ambitious, if fragile, proposition.
Number 1, New Team, Three Victories
Schumacher arrived at Ferrari as defending World Champion, a status reflected in the prominent number 1 on the car's nose. The 1996 season produced three victories — Spain, Belgium, and Italy — each extracted from a car known for unreliability and frequent retirements. Schumacher finished third in the Drivers' Championship with 59 points, while Ferrari secured second in the Constructors' standings. Thebranded Rosso Corsa livery, complemented by Shell and Goodyear markings, remains one of the most recognisable F1 colour schemes of the 1990s.
GP Replicas at 1:18
GP Replicas is an Italian specialist producer whose 1:18 models are recognised among collectors for paint fidelity and livery accuracy. The detail work is concentrated on exterior surfaces — aerodynamic bodywork, sponsor graphics, and period-correct tyre markings. This version of the F310 is supplied with a display showcase, making it shelf-ready from the outset.
In the Display Cabinet
At 1:18, a Formula 1 car of this era commands a dedicated shelf position — the elongated nose and rear wing demand clear lateral space. The model pairs naturally with the Ferrari F310B from 1997 and the Ferrari F300 from 1998, tracing Schumacher's early years at the Scuderia. Collectors focused on the mid-1990s V10 transition era, or on Schumacher's career arc from Benetton to Ferrari, will find it a coherent centrepiece. The included showcase keeps the surfaces dust-free without additional investment.
